Urdu (اردو) is an Indo-Aryan language (Indo-European family), descended from the same roots as Sanskrit, spoken in many parts of India, where several states give it official status, and Pakistan, where it is the national language. It is written in the Perso-Arabic script: it is written right to left, letters join each other, and short vowels are usually not written. About 5.1 crore (51 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
Bengali (বাংলা) is an Indo-Aryan language (Indo-European family), descended from the same roots as Sanskrit, spoken in West Bengal and Tripura, and Bangladesh, where it is the national language. It is written in the Bengali–Assamese script: consonants carry a built-in vowel, vowel signs (kar) attach to them, and most letters hang from a line across the top. About 9.7 crore (97 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
How Urdu and Bengali compare
- Urdu is written in the Perso-Arabic script and Bengali in the Bengali–Assamese script, so the translation changes the script as well as the words.
- Urdu is written from right to left, so the text you type runs in the opposite direction to Bengali.
- Both are Indo-Aryan languages, so they share many related words and similar grammar.
- Both usually put words in the order subject–object–verb, with the verb at the end, which keeps sentences close in shape.
