Name the language that was designated as the ' Camp Language' during the Medieval Period
C
Correct answer
Explanation
During the Medieval Period in India, Hindi (in its various dialectal forms) served as a 'Camp Language' or 'Lashkari Zaban' - the lingua franca used in army camps and for administrative communication across different regions. It emerged from the need for a common language that could be understood by soldiers drawn from diverse linguistic backgrounds. Sanskrit was the scholarly language, Pali was associated with Buddhist texts, and Urdu developed later as a court language.
