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).
Marathi (मराठी) is an Indo-Aryan language (Indo-European family), descended from the same roots as Sanskrit, spoken in Maharashtra, where it is the official language, and Goa. It is written in Devanagari: each consonant carries a built-in "a" sound, other vowels are added as signs (matras), and a line across the top (shirorekha) joins the letters of a word. About 8.3 crore (83 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
How Urdu and Marathi compare
- Urdu is written in the Perso-Arabic script and Marathi in Devanagari, 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 Marathi.
- 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.
