@@ericcartman6697 No plans for Sanskrit because there's no practical use in it for me (unless I become religious one day, then it would be of use).

I picked up the Urdu script fairly quickly. I learned it because there are some Sikh scriptures in Farsi and some beautiful Sufi poetry in Urdu, Farsi and Shahmukhi Punjabi. I'm a Canadian born punjabi Sikh, so I also had to teach myself the Gurmukhi Punjabi script. Next is Devanagari! سلام علیکم پاکستان کے دوستو
Just being able to read the script does no good. Everyone who can read english should be able to read German, French, Spanish, for the most part. All Hindi readers can read Marathi & even Gujarati to a good extent. But what good is all of that. The grammar is totally different between Urdu & Persian/Arabic. Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language. Urdu's grammar is exactly the same as Hindi (technically, they're the same language, Hindustani, just written in different scripts & separated because of Subcontinental politics). Even the basic vocab (80% ish) is the same between the two, and totally different from Arabic & Persian. It's so frustrating, so many people don't seem to understand the difference between script, and the actual language (grammar, vocab, semantics). You can literally write Hindi/Urdu in Roman script (latin alphabets, aka, what we write english in), as most internet users of Subcontinent do, would it suddenly start making sense to a European because they can mumble the words now? Thoda toh dimaag laga liya karo yaar.
hey could you please help me with any way to learn understanding arabic language? i wanna understand the arabic scholars better and also learn The Holy Quran in its true essence. i am struggling with the language cause i am a revert. could you please help me with the arabic language? (i know how to read its just it makes no sense to me what those words mean).
As an urdu native speaker I didn't need to learn arabic 😂(how to read or write it) . But alhamdulillah now I learn its meaning and balaghah To understand quran properly
When he said "wow" many times, I thought he has seen something incredible and expressing his excitement but then I realized he is practicing Urdu alphabet "و" 😂
I mean it's basically learning a different script. 90% of the spoken language is the same. Not sure how learning same words in Perso-Arabic script can make someone forget the same language in another script.

@@azmatsiddique7321 you are kinda right. Back then, the language was more commonly referred to as Hindustani (not Urdu), or more commonly by its local name like Khari Boli depending on the region.

The Brits came along & used it for their strategy of divide & rule to bring back use of Devanagari & call it Hindi amongst the Hindus, and promote Urdu in Nastaliq script as the "Muslim language." Yes, Devanagari is older than Arabic alphabet, but it was pretty much dead because of centuries of Islamic rule.

Dear Karl, I think my comment on your videos (esp. related to Pakistan and India) is overdue. I would like to greatly appreciate how you are promoting the positivity of different cultures. Your videos are so genuine and worth watching because I've seen that you not only point out the negative things in a country (or more so in the case of India and Pakistan), but in a constructive way, and you also highlight the positive things. And that too in a genuine way (without overdoing anything). I also liked that part in your earlier video(s) in which you experimented with saying Namaste in Pakistan. And now encouraging people of Pakistan and India to learn each other's language scripts. That's why your work stands out. Positivity, a showcase of culture and people, negativity in a constructive way, and promoting harmony and peace. That's a true all-in-one package in a travel vlog. Thumbs up. Keep up the great work, Karl. THANK YOU.
I know Hindi but I wanna learn Urdu since it’s easy,if you know Hindi,then you can learn Urdu just by learning their alphabets! Same for an Urdu speaker
After learning Urdu the vast ocean of sufi literature will be opened for you. It's the most beautiful language in the world. Though i am Bangladeshi but recently i started to learn Urdu, after being encouraged by the Shayari of Mirza Ghalib.
And what good is it if you can't understand it. By that logic he can also ready Marathi, Gujarat (almost Devanagari), German, Spanish, French, samajh ghanta aani. Also, he can only read Punjabi in Pakistan (shahmukhi), Punjabi in India is in Gurmukhi.
This is quite an informed explaination of the difference between Urdu and Hindi. Lotta people don't understand that they're basically the same language but merely different forms or registers of it. Thanks for explaining Karl
So good to see someone like me that’s so passionate about South Asian language and culture . I have also learnt Hindi/Urdu and it’s such an enriching experience, especially, as you said, when you apply in real life situations. I’ve also started to teach myself Farsi and having knowledge of Urdu script and vocabulary is definitely an advantage. Keep it up!
I was told that historically Urdu was created by the Mughal rulers as a common language to communicate with the citizens of greater India at the time. “Urdu” was an actual camp or place where the rulers were based for a period of time and the language came to be called Urdu. They systematically developed Urdu as a mixture of Hindi and Farsi (Persian). All languages evolve over time so Urdu/Hindustani probably merged into one…
Except that "Hindi" being referred to was a mixture of many languages and dialects in North India at that time and NOT the Modern Standard Hindi being spoken today. Urdu descends from Khari Boli which would've been classed as a "Hindi" dialect at that time. There were many others and still are, too.
I'm an urdu language online tutor, translator I have done bachelor's in urdu Language and education If you want to learn urdu don't worry I'm here to teach you For Ladies only....
Hey Karl. I think I'll need to discover myself back as an Hindustani (subcontinent) now. This is insane the things that we take for granted get another meaning when you speak about them.
The difficult lesson of speaking&writing learning are how to pronouce it and if Urdu or Hindi have tenses: past, present, future, continuous🤔. People who understanding Arabic usually faster study Urdu coz the alphabet almost same. Of course the most easy learning is learning by doing. Practice makes perfect 😁. Nice sharing moment !

I grew up speaking, reading and writing urdu but never noticed we leave some of the vowels out, So I guess today I learned something that always knew but didn't know at the same time, Cheers for that Karl.

Simply Amazing... Hats off to Karl for showing such enthusiasm for learning Urdu and Hindi. And Btw I think he became addicted to chaye (tea) while living in India/ Pakistan
Many sounds are made in Urdu with zair, zabar and paish. As most people reading Urdu know the word so don't need to write them. Also by learning Urdu you will be able to read Farsi, Pashto, Arabic as they all have mostly same alphabets
I am from Bihar, India Urdu is my mother tongue and Hindi is my second mother tongue Both are the most beautiful language of the world ❤️ Tbh Urdu script is more beautiful ❤️
@@ShivamKarn a loser calling others loser. Living in a state does not mean that state's native languages will become your mother tongue. For example if you move to Tamil Nadu will you say tamil is your native language?
@@bobobobo3142 You are a real looser here, read his and my comment again. He wrote that he is from bihar which means he is native of bihar. Bihar has it's own languages maithili, magahi, bhojpuri. Both Hindi and urdu has nothing to do with Bihar.
Syed Ahmed Dehlavi, a 19th-century lexicographer who compiled the Farhang-e-Asifiya Urdu dictionary, estimated that 75% of Urdu words have their etymological roots in Sanskrit and Prakrit, and approximately 99% of Urdu verbs have their roots in Sanskrit and Prakrit.🙂
@Fact NaziI think you need to stop acting like a child. He's correct. Most of Urdu words have their etymologies from Sanskrit and for that you really need to understand what etemology is. Urdu is the language which was created to lessen the distance between two nations by Sufis to whom people used to visit from all over India. Please try to object with the strong facts rather than abuses. And I'm Pakistani and an Urdu writer.
@Gymtim Tim no it is actually mostly sanskrit. and the common man won’t even use the small amounts of persian and arabic roots, It’s just the dialect that is different
You are totally Right. Urdu is basically hindi and is mostly sanskrit. The common man doesn’t even speak the few persian and arabic roots in urdu. it’s just the dialect that is different
@Gymtim Tim are you actually from the region? Or have you just read books. The common mans Hindi and the common mans Urdu are exactly the same as neither Pakistanis or Indians speak pure Urdu or pure hindi. Even with efforts to de Sanskritize Urdu. It is still more sanskrit then Persian. I know this first hand. Since I can perfectly understand all parts of Hindi. However I don’t know a word of Persian and can’t understand it
Syed Ahmed Dehlavi, a 19th-century lexicographer who compiled the Farhang-e-Asifiya Urdu dictionary, estimated that 75% of Urdu words have their etymological roots in Sanskrit and Prakrit, and approximately 99% of Urdu verbs have their roots in Sanskrit and Prakrit.🙂
Amazing to see you putting in so much effort in learning to read and speak Urdu. It gladdens so many Pakistani hearts. You said the vowels in Hindi and Urdu are different, never thought of that, will have to understand that myself. You said, only 8% Pakistani's speak Urdu as their first language. Hope after you master it, it increases to 8.1%. Best wishes. 🎉
You are awesome learning Urdu and your Hindi is pretty good. I speak Hindi, born there even tho I am Burmese. Now I can boast I speak 4 languages, English, Burmese, Hindi and now Urdu. I am teaching myself Korean, few Chinese and I also know some get by French. My husband is Dutch but he does not practice that at all but I did picked up a little from my in laws. It is Fun to go to one language after another. You keep it up and yes, it is good to know the language of the country you live in. Makes life very easy. Have fun!
Bro, you just inspired me. I'm not very organized; after seeing your method and organization I realized my potential to draw dots of association. Usually I just learn language when I'm drunk, but if I put my mind to it like you do I could learn a lot faster.
Actually Karl the forms of the letters are not so complicated, they're just ligatures that join the letters. It's very natural. Once you learn it, it will be so easy and natural, and you'll be able to write so much more quickly than Hindi, as it's basically writing a 'river' word. It's also much faster than writing in the Latin alphabet, as Urdu (Arabic script) are horizontal letters, while English letters are vertical.
Amazing video Karl.. I am an indian kiwi in Auckland recently started reading Ghalib.. was looking for learning urdu videos and found your video.. you inspired me a lot.
What I found from learning Urdu was, that for everyday communication or for reading posters, signs and daily newspapers, only 10 odd characters of the Urdu alphabet were needed.
@@bobobobo3142 compared to learning Hindi, I think it was. Just to read posters and sign posts. I also found the Arabic Naskh font a lot easier than than the Pakistani Nastaʿlīq
@@bobobobo3142 The Urdu alphabet is similar in its organic growth to English. in that it has picked up a lot of redundant letters for the same sounds. These letters are there due to the origins of the different words. Even Karl was wondering why there was a ṭē .ٹ
@@JaskoonerSingh there is no other letter which sound similar to taay. For example if you want to write tamatar if there was no taay how else would u write it?
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰. Urdu was the language of armies coming from Turkey ,Arab and Persia thats why its called “Lashkari Zuman” .. It was mainly a language used by Muslims in Sub-Continent.
Well that's not quite right. Urdu is portrayed in Pakistan as a *Lashkari Zuban* however, it actually evolved in the Northern India (Khari Boli) and due to Persian influence over India, Khari Boli evolved into something called Rekhta which heavily borrowed words from Persian as well as Arabic. And from Rekhta it evolved into Urdu. Urdu was the language of elites, both Hindus and Muslims, of India.
Hi Rock, you can also install urdu keyboard in your phone, which really helps you understand how the urdu characters change shapes when writing an urdu word or sentence. That really helped me understand urdu in a much better way rather than trying to figure out on my own. I'm glad you have a urdu teacher guiding you through all of your lessons. Great job and good luck.
I like your cmmnt but what do you mean by reffring all hindu as hindi speakers ?? Theres no point in it ..all hindus doesn't speak hindi...hindus in punjab speak punjabi tamil in tamil nadu ,etc...and hindi is also spoken by many sikhs and muslims..muslims in all over india expect south and jammu speaks hindi..you can teem urdu as a muslim language and sanskrit as a hindu language not hindi..hindi is mother tongue of up only
This is so inspiring. My mother can speak Urdu but unfortunately I was never taught it. Hoping to start learning so that I can converse with her family!

Kia Ora Karl, just saw this video and was inspired by your recommendation to eat at Highway Dabba, drove down from Aucks and back just for lunch. Worth it! Bought a couple of things at the local Indian market to make Pani Puri with my niece and nephews for dinner tonight. You are truly an inspiration! Kia Kaha for your path forward!
That is so funny because i recently started learning urdu to talk to my coworkers and i came across some of your comments on a few videos. My understanding of urdu is that it is spoken the same as hindi but written differently.
Your dedication to Desi languages and cultures is admirable, Karl. One unsolicited suggestion, if I may:I would have loved to be learning Urdu along with you, if only the camera focused on your Urdu lesson, rather than on you learning it!
I love your enthusiasm @Karl Rock and love towards other languages. You are an inspiration for Many especially for me. Keep rising and shining. I want one day I want you can read with me Gurmukhi as well so that I can show more cool places of my city back in punjab !!!
Hi, I just wanted to say all languages written in Pakistan are written in a Nastaliq script, so for example Punjabi, Saraiki, Sindhi, Pashto, Balochi, etc might look like Urdu at first glance but they're all different languages. It's kind of like how Hindi, Sanskrit, and Marathi all look like the same language but are just written in the same script. Punjabi and Urdu have all the same letters, give or take a few, but Sindhi and Pashto have a lot more that most Urdu speakers cannot even read like ڇ ڀ ڳ in Sindhi and څ ږ ګ in Pashto
I learned the Russian alphabet in one day's lesson by a teacher and was able to talk within 3 months and after 10 months went to University to study Engineering. when you are young it is easy to learn any language. Arabic alphabet I learned at high school.
Urdu was invented by Mughal Rulers to communicate the people of Northern Belt of Indian Subcontinent It is the most beautiful language of South Asia if not Asia. When Queen Victoria wanted to learn Hindi, her Indian servant asked her to learn Urdu instead of Hindi coz it was easy & filled with magnificent literature Today even Bollywood use Urdu as poetic dialogue

And that too in a genuine way (without overdoing anything). I also liked that part in your earlier video(s) in which you experimented with saying Namaste in Pakistan. And now encouraging people of Pakistan and India to learn each other's language scripts. That's why your work stands out. Positivity, a showcase of culture and people, negativity in a constructive way, and promoting harmony and peace. That's a true all-in-one package in a travel vlog. Thumbs up. Keep up the great work, Karl. THANK YOU.
Disclaimer: His videos are addictive!

Too late. Already addicted 😜.

Urdu is such a beautiful language... Glad ur learning it
Yeah ✨
Agree. He should learn Gurmukhi next. Its easy
@एक लड़का Punjabi is easiest to learn. Sikh Punjabi. Not urdu/Persian script Punjabi (this is wayy Harder)
@@ArthoGamer yes. Its easier than Shahmukhi
@एक लड़का Or sunaye apka kya haal hy Khush Raha kren :p lol
Looking forward to this, all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
I'm married to a Pakistani. I badly want to learn the language and this videi is a great motivation.

After learning Urdu the vast ocean of sufi literature will be opened for you. It's the most beautiful language in the world. Though i am Bangladeshi but recently i started to learn Urdu, after being encouraged by the Shayari of Mirza Ghalib.

Read poetry of Allama Iqbal too brother you will be amazed
Karl u can now read Arabic, Amazigh, Persian, Sindhi, Punjabi, Kashmiri, Pashto and Balochi too!
But can he understand all of it though? That's the question, learning a script is way easier compared to the language itself.
@@powerhousebikki I said 'u can read' not ' u can understand'
@@furqanahmad8791 I never said that you said it.
Yes. That's what I'm saying
And what good is it if you can't understand it. By that logic he can also ready Marathi, Gujarat (almost Devanagari), German, Spanish, French, samajh ghanta aani. Also, he can only read Punjabi in Pakistan (shahmukhi), Punjabi in India is in Gurmukhi.

Learning a new language, especially with a different alphabet and script from latin, takes a lot of discipline! Much respect!
Start trying to read urdu newspapers. Once you start reading it, you'll learn it quicker (pronunciation, etc)
Urdu is a very nice language for calligraphy if you're interested in that. Maybe you could learn that too if you want!! 👍👍
This is quite an informed explaination of the difference between Urdu and Hindi. Lotta people don't understand that they're basically the same language but merely different forms or registers of it. Thanks for explaining Karl
So good to see someone like me that’s so passionate about South Asian language and culture . I have also learnt Hindi/Urdu and it’s such an enriching experience, especially, as you said, when you apply in real life situations. I’ve also started to teach myself Farsi and having knowledge of Urdu script and vocabulary is definitely an advantage. Keep it up!
Happy to see you learning new languages. I'm too learning hangul and hiragana from last 2 months. Urdu is now on my list.
I was told that historically Urdu was created by the Mughal rulers as a common language to communicate with the citizens of greater India at the time.
“Urdu” was an actual camp or place where the rulers were based for a period of time and the language came to be called Urdu.
They systematically developed Urdu as a mixture of Hindi and Farsi (Persian).
All languages evolve over time so Urdu/Hindustani probably merged into one…
Except that "Hindi" being referred to was a mixture of many languages and dialects in North India at that time and NOT the Modern Standard Hindi being spoken today. Urdu descends from Khari Boli which would've been classed as a "Hindi" dialect at that time. There were many others and still are, too.
You are wrong, read late professor Shamsur Rehman Faruqi, he is authority on urdu and persian, and history of urdu.
@@Abdullah-uv9nk modern hindi also comes from khari boli right

Hey Karl. I think I'll need to discover myself back as an Hindustani (subcontinent) now. This is insane the things that we take for granted get another meaning when you speak about them.
The difficult lesson of speaking&writing learning are how to pronouce it and if Urdu or Hindi have tenses: past, present, future, continuous🤔. People who understanding Arabic usually faster study Urdu coz the alphabet almost same.
Of course the most easy learning is learning by doing. Practice makes perfect 😁.
Nice sharing moment !

Many sounds are made in Urdu with zair, zabar and paish. As most people reading Urdu know the word so don't need to write them. Also by learning Urdu you will be able to read Farsi, Pashto, Arabic as they all have mostly same alphabets
There’s also 70 million native urdu speakers in India as well. Such a beautiful language. Official language in Many states in india.
Because it’s India not fraud pakistan.
Not 70 but definitely 200 millions in India are native Urdu speakings 70 million are alone in UP only!

Urdu is not your mother tongue looser. Bihar has its own languages none of them is urdu. You better learn the native language.
@@ShivamKarn a loser calling others loser. Living in a state does not mean that state's native languages will become your mother tongue. For example if you move to Tamil Nadu will you say tamil is your native language?
@@bobobobo3142 You are a real looser here, read his and my comment again. He wrote that he is from bihar which means he is native of bihar. Bihar has it's own languages maithili, magahi, bhojpuri. Both Hindi and urdu has nothing to do with Bihar.

Syed Ahmed Dehlavi, a 19th-century lexicographer who compiled the Farhang-e-Asifiya Urdu dictionary, estimated that 75% of Urdu words have their etymological roots in Sanskrit and Prakrit, and approximately 99% of Urdu verbs have their roots in Sanskrit and Prakrit.🙂
@Fact NaziI think you need to stop acting like a child. He's correct. Most of Urdu words have their etymologies from Sanskrit and for that you really need to understand what etemology is. Urdu is the language which was created to lessen the distance between two nations by Sufis to whom people used to visit from all over India. Please try to object with the strong facts rather than abuses. And I'm Pakistani and an Urdu writer.
@Gymtim Tim no it is actually mostly sanskrit. and the common man won’t even use the small amounts of persian and arabic roots, It’s just the dialect that is different
You are totally Right. Urdu is basically hindi and is mostly sanskrit. The common man doesn’t even speak the few persian and arabic roots in urdu. it’s just the dialect that is different
@Gymtim Tim are you actually from the region? Or have you just read books. The common mans Hindi and the common mans Urdu are exactly the same as neither Pakistanis or Indians speak pure Urdu or pure hindi. Even with efforts to de Sanskritize Urdu. It is still more sanskrit then Persian. I know this first hand. Since I can perfectly understand all parts of Hindi. However I don’t know a word of Persian and can’t understand it
@Gymtim Tim well i am Punjabi. And i don’t understand a word. Of persian, turkic, pashto, sindhi, balochi or arabic. Whereas i understand hindi speech
i know both hindi and urdu but i think urdu is the sweetest language . 99% indian bollywood and all songs are in urdu not hindi

Actually Karl the forms of the letters are not so complicated, they're just ligatures that join the letters. It's very natural.
Once you learn it, it will be so easy and natural, and you'll be able to write so much more quickly than Hindi, as it's basically writing a 'river' word.
It's also much faster than writing in the Latin alphabet, as Urdu (Arabic script) are horizontal letters, while English letters are vertical.
Amazing video Karl.. I am an indian kiwi in Auckland recently started reading Ghalib.. was looking for learning urdu videos and found your video.. you inspired me a lot.
What I found from learning Urdu was, that for everyday communication or for reading posters, signs and daily newspapers, only 10 odd characters of the Urdu alphabet were needed.
not true.
@@bobobobo3142 compared to learning Hindi, I think it was. Just to read posters and sign posts. I also found the Arabic Naskh font a lot easier than than the Pakistani Nastaʿlīq
@@bobobobo3142 The Urdu alphabet is similar in its organic growth to English. in that it has picked up a lot of redundant letters for the same sounds. These letters are there due to the origins of the different words. Even Karl was wondering why there was a ṭē .ٹ
@@JaskoonerSingh there is no other letter which sound similar to taay. For example if you want to write tamatar if there was no taay how else would u write it?
@@bobobobo3142 just enough to get started reading posters, dailies etc. Was fine for me. There are a lot of repeating sounds and letters.

Urdu was the language of armies coming from Turkey ,Arab and Persia thats why its called “Lashkari Zuman” .. It was mainly a language used by Muslims in Sub-Continent.
Well that's not quite right. Urdu is portrayed in Pakistan as a *Lashkari Zuban* however, it actually evolved in the Northern India (Khari Boli) and due to Persian influence over India, Khari Boli evolved into something called Rekhta which heavily borrowed words from Persian as well as Arabic. And from Rekhta it evolved into Urdu. Urdu was the language of elites, both Hindus and Muslims, of India.
@@omeirahmedkhan6155 exactly right
I personally know many old age Hindus who only know URDU.
Come, I'll show you many from one elite old age home alone!

Hi Rock, you can also install urdu keyboard in your phone, which really helps you understand how the urdu characters change shapes when writing an urdu word or sentence. That really helped me understand urdu in a much better way rather than trying to figure out on my own. I'm glad you have a urdu teacher guiding you through all of your lessons. Great job and good luck.

Hi, I just wanted to say all languages written in Pakistan are written in a Nastaliq script, so for example Punjabi, Saraiki, Sindhi, Pashto, Balochi, etc might look like Urdu at first glance but they're all different languages. It's kind of like how Hindi, Sanskrit, and Marathi all look like the same language but are just written in the same script. Punjabi and Urdu have all the same letters, give or take a few, but Sindhi and Pashto have a lot more that most Urdu speakers cannot even read like ڇ ڀ ڳ in Sindhi and څ ږ ګ in Pashto
I can listen to him all day
