A great language is one which has the ability of making words from other languages useable in its-self. And Urdu is definitely among one of those dynamic languages which takes pride in its evolution to revolution.
The beauty of Urdu is in its all beautiful dialects From Dakkani to Hyderabadi to Ilah Abaadi to *Lakhnavi *to *Dehlvi *to many others…
All of them taking higher grounds in competition… The respectful nature of Lakhnavi urdu can not be matched while the Hyderabadi urdu is as fluent and funny as the literal urdu of Dehli (Dilli)… [Uncle Ghalib kaa des :-p]
There are words in urdu which differentiate it from the spoken Hindi (not the real hindi that is much more influenced by Sanskirat) - another great language of the subcontinent -
Unfortunately, we are making our language less important un-knowingly every day that comes ahead. We, being far away from the real urdu culture, makes a good excuse. By watching indian movies, our new generation has learnt enough hindi to put urdu in a cage.
Where urdu has so romantic and beautiful words in it, we see ourselves using words from Hindi. Wouldn’t it be better that if we are trying to write or speak in urdu, we try to learn the original urdu words instead of borrowing words from Hindi??
I am sure many of you must have heard the word Bait Baazi but how many of us use it instead of Antaakshiri?
That is just one example that made me think over this issue… There are so many other instances of the similar nature and I am sure many of you must be aware of them…
i love urdu more than any other language. i love it so much that i think if i ever gonna take it i think i gonna fail it. (dont ask me why)
and for the words bait- baazi well i think i heard it being used for some debate competition, whereas Antaakshiri i think is famous Zee TV program (i never saw the program).
