• Urdu along with Hindi is a standardized form of Hindustani. The primary difference between the two lies in the fact that Standard Urdu vocabulary is heavily influenced by Persian and Arabic and its written form is also based on the Perso-Arabic script, while Hindi draws largely from Sanskrit vocabulary and uses the Devanagari script.
  

• A major percentage of linguists are of the opinion that both Hindi and Urdu are actually two standardized forms of the same language. But native speakers of both languages don't agree with this view. In fact Urdu and Hindi speakers are unable to understand each other when they are using pure forms of their language or discussing literary or specialized topics.
  

• Historically Urdu vocabulary has drawn from Persian, Turkic, Arabic and Sanskrit, in modern times Punjabi and English have also contributed to its development.
  

• Since it is spoken in many parts of the world, Urdu has become localized under the influence of local languages and cultures of the regions where it is spoken. In Pakistan, the Urdu vocabulary has borrowed significantly from Punjabi, Sindhi and Pashto. In India, Urdu dialects include Khariboli as spoken in the Punjab region and Dakhni, as spoken in South India. Other prominent dialects of the language include Rekhta, Pinjari and Modern Vernacular Urdu which is used in the Delhi region in India and is based on Khariboli.
  

• The degree of politeness and formality expressed is an important characteristic of the language, Rekhta can be said to be the informal register of Urdu. The use of words with Persian and Arabic origin makes the language more formal and poetic. 
  

• Urdu is written using a modified form of the Persian alphabet and is written in the right to left direction using the Nastaliq script style. It includes 38 letters. In recent times Urdu has also been written using the Devanagari and Roman script.
