A link to my project is included in this posting. My sources are included as the final slide in the presentation. In addition, below is a list of the Hindi words that I learned and included in my presentation. Whenever possible I gave the words written in the devanagari script. However, for some words, only phonetic spellings were available and I could not always deduce the correct devanagari spelling. Thus, these words are given in the Latin alphabet.
