Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

Re: Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

CodeRed, aapki pur zor farmaish par teen nuqtoon walay “zhe” ka harf istamaal karnay walay chand alfaz…

  • zhalabaari = Hail (the rain with ice)
  • teliwizhen = Television
  • playzhur = Pleasure

any word of english language, which has sound similar to that of “sio” in television, and “sur” in pleasure will use ژ when written in roman urdu. its there to compensate this particular sound, i think its actually a plus point that Urdu has one alphabet that has sound which if we want to deliver in english (or other similar languages) we need to combine more than one alphabets… so its not extra as you said.
