QUESTION STATEMENT:

हिन्दी भाषा में कितने स्वर हैं?

How many vowels are there in the Hindi language?

SELECT CORRECT OPTION:
A
14
B
11
Correct
C
13
D
5
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B (11)

केन्द्रीय हिन्दी निदेशालय तथा मानक हिन्दी व्याकरण के अनुसार हिन्दी में मूल स्वरों की संख्या 11 है: अ, आ, इ, ई, उ, ऊ, ऋ, ए, ऐ, ओ, औ। अं (अनुस्वार) और अः (विसर्ग) को 'अयोगवाह' कहा जाता है, स्वर नहीं। विकल्प A (14), C (13 जिसमें अयोगवाह जोड़ लिया जाता है, पर मानक व्याकरण में 11 ही मान्य है), तथा D (5 जो अंग्रेजी स्वर हैं) गलत हैं।

According to the Central Hindi Directorate and standard Hindi grammar, there are 11 vowels in Hindi: अ, आ, इ, ई, उ, ऊ, ऋ, ए, ऐ, ओ, औ. The characters अं and अः are classified as Ayogavaha, not independent vowels. Option A (14), Option C (13, which erroneously includes Ayogavaha), and Option D (5, typical of English) are incorrect.
