اوف سب سے پہلی چیز جو میں نے بلو سکائی پر تلاش کرنے کی کوشش کی، وہ اردو تھی

no and esp when you know more dari than farsi and it just mixes with your info on urdu and tajik and the iranian accent looses you 😭 im probably projecting but if i hear “joon” one more time imma loose it

most of Bollywood was written by Muslim writers esp before the 90s, so the influence of Urdu goes deep into Bollywood music and dialogues

they must’ve changed it since I originally saw it. before they had “speaking Hindi” in the Urdu scenes and “speaking Urdu” in the one Punjabi line 😭

it’s probably because they’re both indo-european languages so the core structure is simpler for english speakers to grasp. the reason why so many weeks tho is probably the script, as arabic script can be daunting to newbies. arabic itself has a lot of grammar & a different way of thinking to english

no cuz my uni has the same issue. they did that for both arabic and urdu/persian for the welcome sign they posted in the library across an entire wall. they fixed the arabic but forgot the urdu/persian and kept the mistake but renovated the entire bookstore in the process.
