Rekhta (Urdu: ریختہ‎ Hindi: रेख़्ता rextā) was the Hindustani language as its dialectal basis shifted to the Khariboli dialect of Delhi. Rekhta means scattered and implies that it was not as strongly Persianized as happened later. The term Rekhta was in greatest use from the late 17th century until the late 18th century when it was largely supplanted by Hindi/Hindwi (Hindavi) and later by Hindustani and Urdu though it continued to be used sporadically until the late 19th century.
