Urdu (اُردُو, pronounced /ˈʊərduː/) is an Indo-Aryan language [1] spoken primarily in Pakistan and India. The language is written in the Nastaliq script [2], a calligraphic style of the Perso-Arabic script written from right to left.
The 2011 Census of India recorded 50.77 million Urdu speakers [3] in India. Urdu is classified as an individual living language [4] with ISO 639-3 code "urd" and serves as the national language of Pakistan.
Urdu is a standardised register of Hindustani [5], sharing mutual intelligibility with Hindi. The language evolved from medieval Indo-Aryan dialects between the 6th and 13th centuries, with approximately 99% of Urdu verbs having their roots in Sanskrit and Prakrit, whilst a significant portion of vocabulary derives from Persian and Arabic.
In Pakistan, Urdu serves as the national language and lingua franca, facilitating communication across diverse linguistic communities. The language is extensively used in education, literature, media, government, and courts throughout the country.
In India, Urdu has official status in several states [6], including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Telangana, Jammu & Kashmir, and the National Capital Territory of Delhi. The language is recognised in India's Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.
Google Transliteration (Google Input Tool) provides phonetic typing from English to Urdu.
Although the official tool has been deprecated, you can still integrate similar functionality using community-maintained packages. Below are practical methods to implement English-to-Urdu transliteration on your website or application.
