Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

Re: Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

Tsk tsk tsk

Kitney afsoos ki baat hai

No body is willing to un-earth the mysterious words which have this three dot alphabet. Bhayo our Saheleyo Aisa koi word dhoondna bhi mat warna CIA waley pakar kar le jaingey :nono:

Abey kahaan dafan ho gaye wo words urdu ki dictionary main ju aapko dhondney main itni dushwari ho rahi hai :hmmm: KKF , UZ , Zobia

Sanaabc : I am not talking about Sana wala ‘Say’ but this other three dot alphabet in urdu

ژ

Zobia ! I understand some alphabets are requirement for proper pronunciation. I have no issue with them Like KKF gave examples of different usage and meanings of a words Sahi and Saheeh

One starts with Seen and second with Swaad. I agree with him and these two alphabets are required. Same way there are Tey and Towen. They fall in same catagory.

Now I have problem with extra redundancy.

write these words in urdu.

Can you tell me how these words are written in urdu alphabets. When all of them have same start then why they all are written with totally different alphabets. and they all sound like Z.

ZZZzzzzara socho our samjhao. Meri Aqal main tu ajkal Loadsheding chal rahi hai :frowning:

TLK. I have no info about Sindhi language. please educate us more by starting a new thread :k:

zobia kay dono jawab best or logical hain

urdu main haroof-e-tahajee banaaye nahi gayee

bulkay jin jin zabaanon say yeh mil ker banee hay us zaroorat kay teyhat yeh sub haroof abjad main shaamil keye gayee hain

sound ik jaysee nahi hai 19 20 ka farq hai lakin choonkay tala'fuz sahee nahi kia jaata to saaray ik ja+

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.

Bohat Shukria Jaanab Aceones Sahab !

Is fidwi ki farmaish poori kar ke aap ne merey angan main Qos-o-Qazah ke rang bakhair deye :flower1:

In my personal opinion Zhala bari is forcefully invented word just to add into urdu Qaida. Because there was no other word in the memory of our UrduDans to attach with this letter.

You are right about Television :k: It is used when it is written is urdu text. I was expecting from other members who have seen PTV. Pakistan Tele Vision… but khair choro

You are also right about its pronunciation. But tell me honestly have you ever read any of these words in any urdu column , article , essay or book /novel written in urdu ?

Phir inki koi khaas zaroorat bhi nahi hai !

Re: Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

about the bold part, i dont think this is the case. actually i’m glade they were able to mention at least one word that starts with “zhe”, but i doubt anyone can easily find any word which starts with “Ray” you know that “ray” with a “toye” top… in urdu (and may be in other similar scripts) there are some alphabets/glyphs which are used most of the time in the middle of a word, not in the start, as long as they serve meaningful purpose and have a unique sound of their own, i dont think we can call them “extra”

and yes i’ve seen this “xhe” in other places than urdu qaida, and those other places are science books in urdu language, where you use different terms of science as it is in urdu language and wont have their translated counterparts… eg: vision, i also saw “pleasure” written in urdu somewhere in inverted comas, so yeah they are used, though rarely but used anyway.

Re: Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

i** had stopped coming to this thread because i knew ythat this thread was totally useless and baseless. he doesn't know urdu alphabets even i just came here to tell one thing only and that is:

the letter "baRaa za" that looks like re with 3 dots is used and i can give u one example:

azdaha [alif, baRaa ze, daal, chhoTii he, alif] and there are amny more.

this guy doesn't even know what a letter is called and he is here criticizing urdu language. first he must learn urdu then come back and argue.**

Re: Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

Pronounce mein different pr written mein **azdaha **aisy hi likha jata hy :) same as 'Azhar'. 2no mein 'az' common hy pr udur likhnay mein buhat mukhtalif hain

Re: Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

this is what we call "lost in translation" or in case lets say "lost in romanization" : ) its not the fault of Urdu language, its our own fault who do not properly know our own Language and do not do enough effort to learn it, instead we start criticizing...

Re: Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

brother, to write correctly in roman urdu, u’ve to follow certain rules. look at any of my posts u’ll see i write differently, simply because i follow a well established [not perfect] roman urdu transliteration scheme. its the same scheme that Google uses.

last year, i had opened a thread http://www.paklinks.com/gs/culture-literature-and-linguistics/373332-roman-urdu-transliteration-scheme-how-to-write-effectively.html to show how it is written but no one showed any interest so i stopped. u may have a look.

u ahve to spell each letter of urdu hijje in roman urdu to convey the correct word. for instance…sahi (seen, chhoTii he, ye) [Hindi] and SaHeeH (Suaad, baRii He, ye, baRii He) [arabic]…:slight_smile:

Re: Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

^ right i understand your point. but i didnt mean to say that we are bad in romanization, after all its just a workaround for those who dont know how to read the actual urdu script or do no have means (or time) to type the urdu script. but what i was trying to say is that, even if 2 things look same in roman urdu, it doesnt mean in actual urdu script they are written same way... you have given an example of this already.

Re: Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

app ko zaroorat nahi hai to app nikal dain or aainda in tamaam alfaaz ko ikharf say likhaain

agar app jaisa duniya main koi or daanishmand ho ga to woh app ko tamgha day day ga ..

kub say ik baat samjha rahay hain sub app ko

k yeh alfaz jo app bar bar rewind ker rahay hain yeh dosre zubanooN say musta’ar ley gaye hain un main isee terah say yeh huroof hain

zaalim or zaaiqa to quraan main bhi mojood hain

yeh intyahee bad tehzeebe hay k dosree zabaan say alfaaz lay ker un ki shakal bigaar dain

lakin app ker dain kio k app ki aqal main yeh baat nahi atee

Re: Why there are lot of extra Alphabets in Urdu

**thank you bro and i do get ur view point and its absolutely correct. i just happen to see two more example among thousands others.

there are two set of two words each that sound similar and spelled similarly with a very slight difference. in roman urdu, however, most wud write both words as follows:

  1. nazar = omen
  2. nadida = unknown AND greedy

but i would use the transliteration scheme and write those words differently.

1 (a). nazar = omen [PERSIAN: noon, ze, re]
1 (b). naZar = sight [ARABIC: noon, zuaad, re]

and, similarly:

2(a). na_deedah = laalchi/greedy [FAARSI: noon, daal, ye, daal, chhoTii he]
2(b). naa_deedah = unseen [FAARSI: noon, alif (SPACE) daal, ye, daal, chhoTii he]

i hope i made it very clear. thanx for reading :)**
