| | Urdu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Urdu is similar in appearance and letters to Arabic, Sindhi, Persian, and Pashto. |  | | Urdu is written in a derivative of the Persian alphabet, which is itself derivative of the Arabic alphabet. |  | | Urdu is a member of the Indo-Aryan family of languages (i.e., those languages descending from Sanskrit), which is in turn a branch of the Indo-Iranian branch (which comprises the Indo-Aryan and the Iranian branch), which itself is a branch of the Indo-European linguistic family. |

| | Hindi-Urdu FAQ |
 | | Urdu and Hindi are both descended from Sanskrit (or the vulgar Indo-Aryan tongue of which Sanskrit was an idealisation), just as French and Spanish are both descended from Vulgar Latin. |  | | For example, it's frequently asserted that while Hindi is descended from Sanskrit, Urdu is a kind of pidgin mongrel of Persian, Arabic and Indian elements. |  | | Well, Urdu is also descended from Sanskrit, and Hindi is also a pidgin mongrel of Persian, Arabic and Indian elements -- because they are the same language. |

 | | In Urdu there are remarkably few words with this s, all of which are of Arabic origin. |  | | This letter is rarely used in Urdu, occuring mostly in Persian loan words. |  | | In Urdu hamza is used as a vowel separator, you can look at it as something between a real letter and a diacritic sign. |

 | | Urdu is very similar to Hindi, the most important difference between them being that the former is written in the Perso-Arabic script, while the latter is written in the Sanskrit characters. |  | | Urdu also contains many words from Arabic and Persian, while Hindi makes a conscious effort to preserve the older Indian words. |  | | In the 16th century, when India fell under Moslem domination, a large number of Persian, Arabic, and Turkish words entered the language via the military camps and the marketplaces of Delhi. |

 | | These booklets are in Urdu and are the first of their kind in the language. |  | | The head of a government-run primary Urdu medium school made a shocking revelation in Delhi recently: Urdu books are not available till mid-September although schools open in summer and although Urdu is a second language in the city along with Punjabi. |  | | This carried both the subversive sub-text of glorifying the lowly manual labourer that the "rang-raiz" ("rangrajwa" in the language of Khusrau and my grandmother) was seen as, and the meaning of imbibing spiritual truths and being suffused with them like a cloth takes on the dye used to give it its color. |

 | | Ghazal originated in Iran in the 10th century A.D. It grew from the Persian qasida, which verse form had come to Iran from Arabia. |  | | Wali's poetry awakened the minds of the Persian-loving North to the beauty and richness of Urdu language, and introduced them to the true flavor of ghazal, thus encouraging its rapid growth and popularity. |  | | Wali's visit to Delhi made in 1700 acquires a historic significance. |

| | About Urdu |
 | | Modern Hindi is essentially Hindustani with a lexicon of Sanskrit-derived vocabulary in preference to the Persian borrowings of literary Urdu. |  | | Because day to day Hindustani was essentially a widespread Indian lingua franca not associated with any particular region or class, it was chosen as the basis for modern Hindi, the national language of India. |  | | It is important to note that over the centuries, Urdu continued to develop side by side with the original Hindi dialects, and many poets have written comfortably in both. |
