Well, basically different Prakrits including Sauraseni from which it descended from as you have mentioned. But that's not what I was arguing about. And I think, in this context, it's rather pointless to delve into the deep history of the (Hindustani) language, given that most of it's developement into the present form took place in the last seven hundred years, being written in the Perso-Arabic Nastaliq script with Persian and Arabic terms being used for higher vocabulary as compared to the 19th century Hindi form.
As for the other Indo-Aryan languages, most linguists have made linguistic zones/sub-classifications for them, which are present in all other Indo-European, and other language families as well e.g Eastern Iranian, Western Germanic, Northern Semitic etc.
Punjabi, Sindhi and Dogri are part of the North-Western zone.

Anyway, this was I what I was talking about.
English purged of Latin, Greek and French words, using only Old Germanic/Anglo Saxon words, 19th century Hindi-style, albeit same Latin script. An account of the Battle of the Somme. Its called 'Anglish'.
"One of of the many and tangled grounds that World War I began was that Dutchland overran Belgland. Britland was bound by fordrawing to shield the land. Like rikebonds across Eveland drew in all the greatstronglands one by one. It may have begun with thehighkilling of High-Earl Franz Ferdinand in Serbland, but that was only the spark that set the world on fire.
The Somme was the ea in Frankrike that Edward III hadthwarsed only before the Clash of Crécy. The bit has had a great deal of British blood soaking into its earth over the yearhundreds, but never more than on the first day of the Clash of the Somme, Lithemonth 1, 1916.
Before the British landmight strode into the shackleguntracks Christ-thwarsing the clashfield, Heratower Lord Douglass Haig had behested eight days of gunwarish shelling. This had not been shown to be booming battleway over the last two years and it did not on that day. One flaw was that the shelling had to stop to let theBondsmen to go on, so as soon as it stopped, theDutchmen knew the onrush was coming and made theirforegearings. They had hard, deep bunkers of brickstuckand wood that withstood the shelling truly well indeed. Their pricked-wire fields were also still okay after the shells stopped.
At 7:28 in the morning, the British landmight blew up twobig stillblasters, then three smaller ones near theDutchlandish lines. The plan was likely to frighten thefoe, but instead, they were a last showing of the onrush.
The slaughter began at 7:30, when the British war-menrose up out of their gravets and tried to thwarse 800 yards of in the face of shacklegun fire. A few did make it to the Dutchlandish front line in the first wave before they were cut down. There were 60,000 British woundedand 19,000 dead. A whole kithend fell on one morning, making it the worst grimming in British landmightish yore. Who can say what their lives would have meant and done had they lived?"
How does it sound?
This seems to be the British conception of Hindustan. Sir Charles Roe, writing in the 19th century:
"A meridian through the town of Sirhind roughly divides Punjab proper from Hindustan and the Punjabi language from the Hindustani language".

This is repeated by Horace Arthur Rose, writing in 1911 here:

The Sutlej River, roughly, seems to be the western boundary. It seems as if it was synonymous with the Gangetic Cow Belt.

" Traditionally, Hindustani or Hindavi identity is primarily linguistic with Hindustanis or Hindavis being those who have the Hindustani language (Hindi/Urdu) and in a broader sense a variety of Hindi as their primary language, mainly residing in the present-day Indian States of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Haryana,Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh,Uttarakhand.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]"
