You read those opinion and I gave you facts. Urdu has second most print media publication among Indian languages even though Urdu is not second most spoken languages of India.

Good for you .. hopefully u can atleast revive it and do something for it... except for printing urdu papers for the poorest minority of india.

As long as Bollywood exists, Urdu won't die and will keep on enchanting Indians, Pakistanis and Afghans.

What are the differences between Urdu and hindi? is it just their alphabets?
some people say that they are mutually intelligible, is it right?
How many persian words exist in these two languages?

How many persian words exist in these two languages?

Example :

English: The food was very tasty; can I get some water?

Urdu: Khana bohat lazeez tha; kya thoda paani milega?

Hindi: Bhojan adhikh swadhisht tha; krupaya thoda jal denge?

Water is also called "aab" .. in hindi its "jal"...girl = doshiza hind=kaniya,elaan = proclaimation; jazbaa = feeling; ham-dardii = sympathy, son in urdu : sahabzadeh in hindi = putra?..daughter : urdu=dukhtar .. hindi = suputri?

Im not an expert in hindi though..

Vernacular of Hindi and Urdu is same. Urdu uses lots of Persian-Arabic words, Hindi avoid using Persian-Arabic words instead prefer Sanskrit words. Because of our film industry, every Indian is aware of both Hindi-Urdu to some extent and since Pakistanis too see Indian movies so they too know Hindi.

Example (basic):

English: The food was very tasty; can I get some water?

Urdu: Khana bohat lazeez tha; kya thoda paani milega?

Hindi: Bhojan adhikh swadhisht tha; krupaya thoda jal denge?

Hindi: khana bahut swadisht tha, kya thoda paani milega? (Both Khana and Paani are native Indian words).

Thanks guys.
So it seems that they are very close. but they have their own differences in choosing words.
So, how much of time takes for a persian speaking person to learn Urdu , and Hindi? what about learning hindi alphabets?

son is called 'beta' daughter is called 'beti' both in Hindi and Urdu. Things you mentioned are synonym which makes two languages different but least used in vernacular.

Urdu is more closer to Persian, one can start with Urdu and then switching to Hindi would be so easy. Hindi alphabets are phonetics, so not much difficult to study.
