1]There are eleven vowels and thirty three consonants in Hindi, whereas there are thirteen vowels and thirty three consonants in Sanskrit.
2]There are three Numbers in Sanskrit. They are Singular, Dual and Plural. Only more than two are considered Plural. In Hindi, there are only two numbers. They are Singular and Plural.
3]There are three genders in Sanskrit. They are Masculine, Feminine and Neutral. In Hindi there are just Masculine and Feminine genders.
4] In Hindi, the verb changes according to person, number and gender. In Sanskrit, the verb changes according to person and number only. It does not change according to gender.
