Task List — First Draft

I started blogging in Urdu almost a year ago. I haven’t written much in Urdu, but it has been a good experience. Two of my posts about blogging in Urdu have been among the most popular posts here. The Urdu…

Dad: If someone asked me what your native language was, I would answer Urdu. Same as mine.

Urdu is my National language (though not my mother tongue). I can express myself best in Urdu because there are certain emotions/gestures which cannot be expressed in English as those can be expressed in German, Arabic or Urdu. I do not know much of German/Arabic so the only choice is Urdu. I presume that people knowing Urdu have the same opinion.

Unfortunately, Urdu has not been given the attention it should have been given after creation of Pakistan which has resulted in decline of the language. Effort must be made to revive Urdu.

Leila: Why not, indeed. Email me with the details.

Asma: Thanks.

renee: We usually call that Roman Urdu. For someone who’s not used to it, it can be difficult. The three character forms are easy, the lack of short vowels is a much bigger issue.

yeah, i was talking about using the alphabet. I’m not even attempting the script yet. I looked at it and how it was three different ways per letter whether it’s in the beginning middle or end of the word is just too much for this slow learner

Assalamoalaykum w.w.!!

Remarkable work … as Personally I’m not in much favour of image-based urdu blogging or websites … as on some ISP’s atleast here in pakistan … these sites take ages to show up … while unicode shows up quite efficiently!

So Three cheers To Urdu Blogging!!

why not jump on the bandwagon with the little project we’re doing with the Muslim blog directory (so far English blogs… but why not head the urdu section?)

Would you be doing it in the Urdu script or using words?

Do you mean Roman Urdu, like using the English alphabet to write Urdu?

The “Urdu Blogging” weblog is bilingual, but the Urdu part of it would be in the Urdu script, just like it is on this blog.
