The Beauty that is URDU


The Beauty that is URDU







Urdu, a language full of beauty and grace, a language that seems to have been custom-built for literature, a language that adds meaning to prose and charm to poetry, a language of elegance and polish, a language that marked the dignified from the unlearned, the noble from the ordinary, a language that belonged in the courts of the powerful, in the schools of the wise and the homes of the erudite, a language that might have past the zenith of its splendour, but is still spoken by a many and sold to a many under many a different name.

Urdu, distinguished from Hindi by its script and vocabulary, is the national language of Pakistan and one of the official languages of India. It is one of the most widely spoken languages of South Asia, and has acquired a wider distribution in other parts of the world, notably the UK, where it is regarded as their major cultural language by most Muslims from Pakistan and northern India. Besides its important role as the chief vehicle of Islam in South Asia, Urdu has an important secular literature, whose poetry is closely based on Persian models.
