Arabic has a long and rich history, dating back to the 7th century AD. It is considered a Semitic language and is closely related to other Semitic languages such as Hebrew and Aramaic.
Hindi, on the other hand, evolved from Prakrit languages, which themselves derived from Sanskrit. Its origins can be traced back to the 11th century AD.
Here's a brief timeline to illustrate the age difference:
* Arabic: 7th century AD
* Prakrit languages (ancestors of Hindi): Around 500 BCE
* Sanskrit (ancestor of Prakrit): Around 1500 BCE
While Hindi's roots go back to the ancient Sanskrit language, the language itself is significantly younger than Arabic.
