Hall (English) means very big room

But hall (Urdu) is 'state of health or events)' Illustration- Hall kaisa hai janab Ka (How are you, sir)


Many words are common to Urdu and Hindi, same as the case of Malayalam and Tamil.

In fact, our real language of conversation is Urdu and not Hindi. Hindi id just a newspaper language and seldom spoken the way this is published.
I feel interested to know more about this.

But Urdu is written in Arabic script. Why is it so?
Is Urdu also a Aryan language?
I want to know more.
Sandhya you told same meanings in Malayalam, Tamil and I will add Telugu also in that.

Ya, south Indian languages have many words in common, also some similar words with slight difference, but same meaning. But I don't know Kannada and Telugu. So can't find such words. :laugh:

Hindi and Urdu differ in script only. Both are same in spoken mode. Urdu contains more Persian or Arabic words whereas Hindi contains Sanskrit words. common language is Hindustani that does not use tough words of either Sanskrit or Arabic/ Persian. Urdu was developed during Muslim rule in India. In those days, official language of court was Persian. The local language got affected by Persian and thus Urdu emerged. This was written in Persian script whereas Devnagri script continued to be used for Hindi. Urdu is also associated with Muslim and medieval period in Indian History.
So, most of the words of Hindi are derived from Urdu language? :woohoo: Really a new piece of information.
Aryans used Sanskrit language. So, it was Muslim rule which caused development of present Hindi language. Am I right?
The word that like same is here
Sea means a Ocean Body that has a water
And See Means To see something in a Real life.

Sea and see are different words. Read the question once more. :)
'Will' in English has two meanings
'Will' in Malayalam means bow

Ampu in malyalam means arrow, Tamil - love :)

Actually, Hindi and Urdu are same. Only script differs. Urdu is in Persian script whereas Hindi in Devanagri. Muslim Rule encouraged use of Persian words and hence caused use of Urdu. Spoken language is same- you may call this Hindi or Urdu.
So, there is no difference between these two languages? :whistle:

I agree. using more Sanskrit words make the language Hindi, Persian and Arabic words Urdu, and using common words without too much Sanskrit or Persian words Hindustani. In written language, Persian script makes this Urdu and Devnagri script Hindi.
