Urdu Language — Key Facts
Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language, structurally identical to Hindi but written in the Perso-Arabic Nastaliq script from right to left (RTL). It borrows a vast amount of its formal vocabulary from Persian and Arabic.
Urdu sentences generally follow a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) order, whereas English follows Subject-Verb-Object (SVO). Moreover, Urdu has a complex system of honorifics (Tu, Tum, Aap) to show varying levels of respect. Our neural machine translation engine understands these structural and cultural nuances, providing fluent and accurate English outputs.
