Spoken Urdu and Hindi — together called Hindustani — share an Indo-Aryan grammar and core vocabulary, so casual conversation is mutually intelligible. The differences are mostly in script (Perso-Arabic Nastaliq vs Devanagari), high-register vocabulary (Persian and Arabic for Urdu, Sanskrit for Hindi), and cultural usage. Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and one of India's scheduled languages.
Urdu is written right-to-left in a calligraphic version of the Perso-Arabic alphabet called Nastaliq, slanted from top-right to bottom-left. The alphabet has 39 base letters including Indic-specific retroflexes (ٹ, ڈ, ڑ) and aspirated consonants made with دو چشمی ہے (ھ). Short vowels are unwritten in everyday text. Computer Nastaliq fonts like Jameel Noori Nastaleeq have made digital publishing widespread since the 2000s.
