I never said I don’t know Urdu – but I am rusty and I love language in general and I am trying to remember/expand/revitalize my Urdu. Shine it up.
I was thrilled to find that one can type in Nastaliq, but then when I want to write a word that has that do zabr wala alif, I can’t. So I wanted to email the people who designed the font (Download Nafees Nastaleeq Font) and ask them if there is some little keyboard maneuver I could do, and I wanted to have the correct term before I asked. Otherwise there are a bunch of words I can’t write with.
The questions about about veggies and reRhas were because I was just writing a little about some of the nostalgic sounds and scenes I remember from Lahore and 'Pindi.
There is so much in Urdu–and who of us doesn’t have room to learn more? (These days it seems like so many people only use English vocabulary in Urdu sentence structure and say things any ol’ way and call it Urdu, and it is really nice to find people who know what they’re talking about.)
