English term or phrase:Hindustani or Hindi?
The same question has come back again and is causing a little confusion. So, I hope those of you who kindly replied last time, can do so again :)
I just need to clarify the following:
1) Is there a difference between writing in Hindustani and Hindi?
3) Can you write "Memory Card" and "flash drive" in Hindustani?
Your help would be much appreciated. If the language requested was Hindi, there would be no query at all, but I have only just come across Hindustani.
Explanation: no difference between writing in Hindustani and Hindi

मुझे लगता है कि अनुवाद की दृष्टि से आपसे ऐसी हिंदी की माँग की जा रही है जिसमें हिंदी, उर्दू का सहज और सुंदर समन्वय हो। साथ ही यह सरल हो। बहुत क्लिष्ट संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिंदी का प्रयोग न हो।

उदाहरण के लिए आप बीबीसी हिंदी सेवा की भाषा देखें। उसे आज की हिंदुस्तानी भाषा कहा जा सकता है, क्योंकि वहाँ पर हिंदी और उर्दू तथा साथ ही अंग्रेज़ी के प्रचलित शब्दों का सुंदर समन्वय किया जाता है। इसके अलावा मुहावरों और बोलियों से आई लोकोक्तियों का भी प्रयोग होता है।

Contemporarily, Hindustani is primarily written in the Devanagari script or the Perso-Arabic script. However, the Kaithi script was the historical popular script for the language. Hindi, one standardized register of Hindustani, utilizes the Devanagari script while Urdu, the other standardized register of Hindustani utilizes the Perso-Arabic script, with Nasta`liq being the preferred calligraphic style for Urdu.

"Before the Partition of British India, the terms Hindustani and Urdu were synonymous; both covered what would be called Urdu and Hindi today....
In recent times, the word Hindustani has been used for the intentionally neutral language of Bollywood films, which are popular in both India and Pakistan....
In a specific sense, "Hindustani" may be used to refer to the dialects and varieties used in common speech, in contrast with the standardized Hindi and Urdu. This meaning is reflected in the use of the term "bazaar Hindustani," in other words, the "language of the street or the marketplace", as opposed to the perceived refinement of formal Hindi, Urdu, or even Sanskrit. Thus, the Webster's New World Dictionary defines the term Hindustani as the principal dialect of Hindi/Urdu, used as a trade language throughout north India and Pakistan...."
So, can you also write this in urdu and it will still be understood by those who speak hindustani?
