"Urdu, the Persianized form of Hindustani (q.v.), is the state
language of West Pakistan, although English also continues in
official use there until 1972, and vernacular tongues are en-
couraged. Deriving its name from the Urdu-e mu’alla,
the
military camp of the Mogul capital at Delphi during the 16th and
17th centuries, Urdu became the language of north Indian
Musl_ms. (Dakhini came into use in the south, or
Deccan, area.)
At the division of British India in 1947,
most of the Urdu
speakers migrated to the western territory which became
Pakistan. However, there are still many Urdu speakers in India,
both Musl_m and
Hindu;
the Hindus generally refer to their
language as Hindustani, or Hindi. About 20 per cent of the 100
million Pakistanis now speak Urdu, and others employ it as a
lingua franca. Owing to education and use as the governmental
and literary language of West Pakistan, Urdu is growing in
importance. Despite the fact that Hindi and Urdu now tend to
draw apart linguistically, they are still mutually intelligible and
are considered by some to be a single Hindi-Urdu language. As
such, it is spoken by more than 200 million people, making it the
third largest language community of the world, after Mandarin
Chinese and English.
Urdu in now written in the Arabic alphabet, with several
extra letters. Before the script was standardized, Scriptures
appeared in various types of Arabic or Persian-Arabic ortho-
graphies." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
