Re: How to distinguish Arbi and Farsi words used in urdu ?
that is obviously true. But I am more interested in the technique to identify which word is taken from which language.
Dunya is arabic ?
Shabash is farsi
Parwardigar is Farsi ( obvious from the fact that there is no P sound in arabic)
SarZameen is farsi
Peghaam is farsi
Ghulaam is Arabic
Sarparast is Farsi
Jan’nat is Arabic
Firdos is Farsi
These words are so smilar in sound and style that it is very hard to asses their origin. I mean I can check with sources and tell but if i dont have any source then I can be mistaken and take Fridos as Arabic and Jannat as farsi or both arabic ![]()
