You got me curious!!
The languages have similarities, not wholistically speaking, but in certain vocal rills in the general way they sing and CERTAIN word sounds. One of my Sri Lankan friends who lives in Oman, thought that the 3rd song Wa Azi was Arabic music. Like in the 4th song Ajinabi, the man starts sings " La lay mur ha bung, La lay mur ha bung en la ley" "soh-cheya. I think Hausa has more features that resemble some indian languages and Amharic for instance resembles Arabic a bit more.
Oh Those weren't real hausa words.. lol except for like 2 i think. I think Ajinabi means stranger.or foreigner. (dont quote me)
This certainly is a really nice thread. Even though I had to go through each and every post very carefully, I find them quite interesting. The different languages that are related to each other in some or other way. Quite impressive!

Dude, Hindi has got thousands of "Islamic words" from Arabic, Arabized Turkic and Arabized Persian. I'm a totally unbiased Indian and can say wholeheartly, that Hindi is part of Islamic world and hence sounds similar to those other languages. A "Hindi" speaker is fully lost in Sanskritized Hindi, which is artificially promoted by central government of India to erase Islamic words.

Dravidian, it is just loan vocabulary of Farsi and Arabic which is used within Hindi. That does not make Hindi part of the Islamic world. How can a lingual discipline be part of a religious group. I agree, that a lot of Hindi speakers (specially up North) mix in Persianized words and even Farsi and Arabic loan words (and are not even aware of it); but the line you are drawing is not correct. Biased, unbiased is for you to decide. Only in government forms and sign boards pure Hindi is used, but even in the schools it is taught as a mix and match. All sign boards in New Delhi have Gurmukhi, Hindi (pure) and Urdu as the designation for locations and/or roads. There is no artifitial promotion. It is coming from you: Cause the Southern States are rigid in their language attachment -which- is justified.

There is nothing called "pure Hindi". There is Hindi from Islamic Middle Age = Hindustani, Sanskritized Hindustani as done by government = Standard Hindi; and Islamized Hindustani = Urdu. Both Hindi and Urdu are fake languages, both have Islamic Hindustani as their base.

Correction.
Pure Hindi = Sanskrit Language. (Used in India before the foreign invasions).
Hindustani = Amalgamation of Pure Hindi and Farsi and/or Arabic loan words.
Urdu = Language developed by the Mughal dynasty heavily based on Farsi and confused with Hindi. Has its own scripting style.
Rest is what ever you say. Stop being a fringe pusher.
By the way, Dravidian:
Can you even speak Hindi, or Hindustani. Do you know any vocabulary pertinent to the ruling North...? Do you understand or can speak the mix of Farsi/Urdu/Arabic loan words in Hindi that we speak. If I want, I can speak pure Sanskrit Hindi. Can you..?
Please answer this question honestly.
