The word Sarnami literally means Surinamese. The name Sarnami Hindustani was first used in 1961 by Jnan Hansdev Adhin.
The language emerged mainly through the mixing of different dialects or language variants from Northern India and Nepal, the areas from which the approximately 34,000 indentured labourers were brought to Suriname between 1873 and 1916 by the Dutch colonial government, to replace the African slaves who had been freed.
Usage
Sarnami is the third-most spoken language in Suriname after Dutch and Sranan Tongo and the mother tongue of approximately 500,000 of the Surinamese diaspora. Sarnami is also spoken by many immigrants in the Netherlands. Outside Suriname, other variants of Caribbean Hindustani are also spoken by Indo-Caribbean people in other Caribbean countries. Compared to other varieties of Caribbean Hindustani, Sarnami is still widely spoken, especially in Suriname and the Netherlands.
The difference with Standard Hindustani is mainly in the grammar. Sarnami, does not have the two cases of Hindi. An influence from Dutch on Sarnami grammar is, that the stem of the verb and the imperative mood are the same, meaning the syntax of the two languages is almost the same.
Baithak Gana is the primary form of music where Sarnami is used. It is also used for other forms of music including folk music, classical music, bhajans and qawwali's.
Only Bhojpuri and Awadhi descend from Bihari and Eastern Hindi, Hindustani comes from Western Hindi
Bhojpuri is descended from Magadhi Prakrit and Awadhi is descended from Ardhamagadhi Prakrit
Bhojpuri is descended from Magadhan Apabhraṃśa and Awadhi is descended from Ardhamagadhi Apabhraṃśa
Only Bhojpuri is descended from Abahattha, not Awadhi. Awadhi comes straight from Ardhamagadhi Apabhraṃśa, while Hindustani come straight from Apabhraṃśa
