Urdu

Urdu or Urdu is a language spoken mainly in Pakistan and India. In Pakistan it is considered the national language, while in India it is one of the 24 official languages ​​in the country. Despite its status as a national language of Pakistan, only about ten million people in Pakistan speak it as their mother tongue. This small percentage is the so-called mohajir, the social and economic elite of Pakistan, who comes from Muslim refugees who fled northern India after the partition of ancient British India in 1947 when the two independent states of India and Pakistan . Because of the similarity between Urdu and Hindi, speakers of the two languages ​​can usually be understood at a basic level if both parties refrain from using specialized vocabulary or dialect differences. Some linguists consider them as part of the same language and claim that they are considered as two distinct languages ​​for political-religious reasons. El urdú o urdu es una lengua hablada fundamentalmente en Pakistán e India. En Pakistán está considerada la lengua nacional, mientras que en India es uno de los 24 idiomas oficiales en el país. A pesar de su condición de lengua nacional de Pakistán, tan solo unos diez millones de personas en ese país lo hablan como lengua materna. Este pequeño porcentaje lo forman los llamados mohajir, la élite social y económica de Pakistán que procede de los refugiados musulmanes que huyeron del norte de la India tras la partición de la antigua India británica en 1947, cuando surgieron los dos estados independientes de India y Pakistán. Debido a la similitud entre el urdú y el hindí, los hablantes de las dos lenguas por lo general pueden entenderse en un nivel básico si ambas partes se abstienen de utilizar el vocabulario especializado o las diferencias dialectales. Algunos lingüistas los consideran como parte de una misma lengua y sostienen que son considerados como dos lenguajes distintos por razones político-religiosas.
