Which of the following was the court language during the reign of Akbar ?

  • A.Hindi
  • B.Urdu
  • C.Persian
  • D.Arabic

Answer: C

It was Persian.

Persian had been the language of administration since the Sultanate and remained so under Akbar, who made it compulsory for revenue records in 1582. It stayed the official language until Bentinck replaced it with English and the vernaculars in 1835.
