Merger of the article into main Urdu article[edit]
The Urdu language has a wide and diverse group of fluent speakers, just like Hindi. The article, Urdu-speaking people complicates things instead of being useful, as there is no ethnic or ethnolingusitic group of Urdu-speakers as they are wide spread diverse group of people with various ethnic and regional identities. I suggest the merger of Urdu-speaking people article into this article, its situation is exactly like Hindi's, whose speakers do not form an ethnic or regional identity as other neighbouring regions.

- The merger has been completed and a new sub page has been added to this article. PeoplesRepublicOfChina01 (talk) 12:29, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry I've reverted it. It can't be done unilaterally. An WP:RFC is needed or at least a consensus in the well-advertised talk page proposal and then a RM. It take at least a month if not more. You can't make a hurried post and merge the page Fowler&fowler«Talk» 13:09, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- Except that Urdu speaking people most definitely see themselves as a coherent identity. 39.41.209.33 (talk) 07:20, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- They see themselves as Muslims, not Urdu speakers. Other than that they identify as Punjabis, Pashtuns, Balochis, etc. 178.120.11.225 (talk) 17:56, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 29 October 2023[edit]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Instead of listing every single nasal vowel, remove them, and add a note explaining that every vowel can be nasalised except for those cases where it isn't. 178.120.11.225 (talk) 02:12, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Question: I'm not certain I understand what you mean – isn't
every vowel can be nasalised except for those cases where it isn't
inherently true regardless of language? Tollens (talk) 04:07, 29 October 2023 (UTC)- @Tollens: See my previous edit on this talk page for context. 178.120.11.225 (talk) 08:06, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Deactivating request as stale as it has gone over a month without anyone willing to review it. This sort of request would likely be reviewed faster if you specified the exact wikitext you want to change rather than forcing the reviewer to guess at it themselves. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:26, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Dialects[edit]
Does Urdu have same dialects as hindi or different? Kaiyr (talk) 12:52, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Kaiyr Same. Braj is described as a dialect of Urdu in Pakistan, and Haryanvi and Bihari are called Urdu by many just as they are called Hindi by many in India. Standard Urdu and Standard Hindi are the same dialect of the same dialect of the same language (Khari Boli). عُثمان (talk) 11:45, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Changes[edit]
I'm restoring my version because of the following:
- Urdu is one of the Languages with legal status in India. The fact that its status is not exactly the same in India as it is in Pakistan is not a reason to exclude it.
- Flags don't belong in Info Boxes MOS:INFOBOXFLAG.
- Indo-Pakistani Sign Language is not Urdu. The Indian Signing System is a system that includes a manually coded version of Urdu.
- Lists should be formatted as lists, not just br-separated.
- A link to Languages of Pakistan is more appropriate than just Pakistan.
PepperBeast (talk) 14:05, 25 March 2024 (UTC) And now, I'm restoring my version because of the following:
- Lists should be formatted as lists, not just br-separated.
- Indo-Pakistani Sign Language is still not Urdu. The Indian Signing System is a system that includes a manually coded version of Urdu.
- The few links I removed were dead.

Any WP:RS regarding Urdu being spoken in Afghanistan?[edit]
Urdu/Hindustani is a language a small minority people in Afghanistan might be fluent in due to being refugees in Pakistan and Bollywood; however, it is not an actual spoken language in Afghanistan.
Is there any WP:RS that Urdu is spoken in Afghanistan, not just understood? It does not belong to lede, and should be edited to be clear it’s not a spoken language like Dari Persian, Pashto, Uzbek, Turkmen and other languages of Afghanistan. 2600:1700:158F:A900:4158:88E6:ECAE:69DF (talk) 00:12, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
