Kauravi (Hindi: कौरवी, Urdu: کَوروی), also known as Khaṛībolī, is a dialect of Hindustani descended from Shauraseni Prakrit that is mainly spoken in northwestern Uttar Pradesh, outside of Delhi.

Modern Hindi and Urdu are two standard registers of Hindustani, descending from Old Hindi. Dehlavi, also called Hindavi gained prestige when it was accepted along with Persian as a language of the courts. Before that, it was only a language the Persianate states (like Delhi Sultanate) spoke to their subjects in, and later as a sociolect of the same ruling classes.[1]

Modern Kauravi contains some features, such as gemination, which give it a distinctive sound and differentiates it from Braj and Awadhi. Old Hindi developed into Hindustani and then into today's Hindi and Urdu registers.[2][3]

Braj and Awadhi in early and middle stages preserve old case endings -hi, etc, while Khari Boli (Old Hindi) and Dakkhini seem to have lost these endings in the Apabhramsa period.

But with the establishment of Muslim rule in Delhi, it was the Old Hindi of this area which came to form the major partner with Persian. This variety of Hindi is called Khari Boli, 'the upright speech'.
