Hindi is pretty much the same as Urdu speaking wise.... anjumfaz Send a noteboard - 11/08/2010 06:17:50 PM
just some words are different here and there. The basic vocab, structure and grammar is all the same.

In terms of writing, I took an introductory Hindi course (I am Indian-Pakistani, but born and brought up in Canada, so I knew the language but not the writing) and written Hindi is not very complicated. I think Urdu would be more difficult. But they are completely different from one another.

IT might be useful to learn Hindi just to get a hang on the speaking part. You can always write the words in the english alphabet, until you are able to find something useful for learning the URdu script.

It shouldn't be too hard to find a book + CD you can learn from. Why is software so important? *NM* Tim - 11/08/2010 05:38:48 PM 271 Views

Yeah, it would be silly to waste your time on Devanagari when you need to learn the Arabic alphabet. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:48:22 PM 578 Views
