Urdu alphabets

The term “Language” may be referring to the intricate system of communication used by locals of any area or to any occurrence of use of this system. Talking about language could be referring to either the written mode of communication or to the colloquial mode. With the passage of time languages have evolved into their own universes; with the basics including the accent, alphabets and writing skills. Among the 6000 languages spoken around the world, Urdu is the fourth most vocalized language round the globe, the order being Mandarin, Spanish, English & then Urdu/Hindi. The reason I wrote Urdu/Hindi here is that both of the languages are derived from the same sources just that at the issue of writing Urdu took on Nastaliq style of writing and Hindi uses the Devanāgarī style. With the passage of time Urdu has also taken on some words of Sanskrit.
