Absolutely loved it! Especially the phonetic explanation of the words with few examples from famous movies. Looking forward to listening and watching more videos from you.
Well researched and excellent presentation on a topic so important but so much ignored!!! Only Dr Rizwan could do something like this! Am so glad that the Professor has dedicated his time to research, compile and present this to us via UA-cam. As a non Urdu speaker and an admirer of this heritage language, this was deeply motivating to learn this beautiful rich language soon. God bless!
One of the best clip that I came through on the subject. Simply and comprehensively narrated and explained with the relevant examples. Great work Dr sb MashaAllah
I became a fan of Sunshma Mam when i heard her speaking Urdu on PTV. And with her role in facilitating Pakistanis in getting medical assistance in India, my respect only increased for her. India was lucky to have her as their foreign minister.
Amazing information and beautifully presented.... Hope Urdu survives for ever.... Now a days Urdu speaking families also don't teach Urdu to their children... Sad 😥
Many of us have noticed this decline but haven't seen it being put together and presented in this neatly, organized manner before. And your observant ear for the letter qaaf ق was a treat. Looking forward to more great videos from you
Changes in pronunciation of some Urdu words is a natural process because these words contain sounds from Persian/Turkish/Arabic that are not found in (most) native Indian languages. It doesn't necessarily indicate some deliberate agenda. Mispronunciation in that sense is not limited to Hindi speakers, as we can consider Urdu speakers to be mispronouncing some Arabic letters too. For example ظ, ض, ذ, ز are all pronounced with the same 'z' sound in Urdu even though they are 4 distinct sounds in Arabic.
Thanks for your comments. Language is a social entity and therefore change in language is a reflection of change in people's perception of language. Language is not an entity outside of the social experience. That's the scientific understanding of language.
What about sounds like ണ, ങ, ള, ഷ, ഞ ( iam using my language since my phone does not have Hindi fonts) not in Urdu language but in other Indian languages
Dear brother I am native Urdu speaker from Maharashtra, Here we have Urdu medium Schools and we speak different accents of like Baraari, Khaandeshi etc. ua-cam.com/video/AD5UcoeAwLM/v-deo.htmlsi=j_jqG9-dXuS2Q6TH First complete this Urdu language learning course for Hindi speakers. or this course ua-cam.com/video/h35XI_1pWxU/v-deo.html after learning, reading and writing start reading Kids story books in Urdu. after reaching the intermediate level study Urdu literature.

Thank you for this study and the video. Fascinating! One question...I have noticed the use of J for Z and similar patterns in Bihari speech. Is this also a recent phenomenon? Or was it pronounced that way for long (for example circa 1947)? Thank you
Thanks. Depends on many other factors including the languages spoken by the people. Urdu speakers of those days probably did it according to Urdu norms.
I remember that bollywood posters had the movie titles in Urdu Devanagari and Roman script in (up until?) the ~70's. Wondering if dropping urdu coincides with changes in pronunciation. I would guess yes...
بہت معلوماتی وڈیو بنائی ہے آپ نے۔۔میرے خیال میں تقسیم ہند کی وجہ سے بھی اردو کو کافی نقصان ہوا ہے۔اردو کو پاکستان کی زبان بنا دیا گیا ہے۔حالانکہ اردو کا پاکستان سے کچھ لینا دینا نہیں۔میں امید کرتا ہو کہ ہندوستان میں اردو زندہ رہے گی۔مگر پاکستان میں اردو بہت ترقی کر رہی ہے۔۔اور ہمارے جیسے پاکستانی پنجابیوں کی آنے والی نسلیں اب پنجابی کی جگہ اردو بولتی ہیں اور اردو بولنے کو پڑھے لکھے اور مہزب ہونے کی نشانی سمجھا جاتا ہے۔خیر مجھے اس سے اختلاف ہے کیونکہ مادری زبان۔کو کبھی نہیں چھوڑنا چاہیے۔۔باقی میری دعا ہے کہ ہندوستان میں اردو قائم و دائم رہے۔مرزا غالب کی سر زمین سے اردو کو کبھی ختم نہیں ہونا چاہیے۔
@@zabanwala sir actually I wanted your views on dakni language also called southern Urdu spoken in Hyderabad, Karnataka, tamil nadu , some parts of kerala
تقسیمِ ہند سب سے بڑی وجہ ہے جو آج اردو کا یہ حال ہے میرے ملک ہندوستان میں😢😢ہمارے نئی نسل اس عربی رسم الخط کو سیکھنا نہیں چاہتی یہ بھی وجوہات میں سے ایک وجہ ہے آج اردو کے مغلوب ہونے کی، اور ٹی وی کی وجہ سے بھی اردو کو خاصہ نقصان ہوا ہے کیوں کہ اکثر لوگ ٹی وئی پر ہندی نیوز جینلس دیکھتے ہیں جس کے برعکس اردو والو نے کبھی اپنے چینلات بناۓ ہی نہیں سواۓ ایک-دو چینلس کے، اللہ سے دعا ہے کے ایک بار پھر دینِ اسلام میرے ملکِ ہند میں غالب ہوجاۓ اور دوبارہ وہ دورِ امن شروع ہو جو اب صرف ماضی کی کتب میں ہے
Thank you for creating this video. While Urdu certainly resides in the minds and hearts of its speakers, it certainly doesn't have a friendly ambience where it originated. The dwindling usage and reduced practical use of the language threatens its popularity, besides being cannibalised by English on the other hand.
اس لئے کہ یہ مسلہ اردو والوں تک محدود نہیں ہے بلکہ یہ کہنا زیادہ مناسب ہے کہ اس تبدیلی کے اصل سیاسی اور ثقافتی محرکات اہل اردو کے دائرہ سے باہر ہیں. چونکہ میرا مخاطب غیر اردو بھی ہے اسی لئے انگریزی کا انتخاب کیا گیا. ویسے اس کا اردو ورژن جلد ہی منظر عام پر آے گا
Languages arise from a need to communicate between people. Urdu was born from a need for the Persian, Arabic and Turkic rulers to interact with the natives. When their power declined after 300-400 years of rule, which is what happens to empires, English became the dominant language of socio-political discourse with British dominance. We simply need to accept that Urdu has had its time in the sun and must move on. Speaking in Urdu today unlike in the past, is considered a sign of backwardness and not aristocracy. As Indians become more educated and Bollywood loses its dominance to OTT platforms, the language and songs in more mainstream films will become more regional(as evidenced by the rise of the Tollywood industry), while those targeting elite urban dwellers will be made in English, while the language of knowledge generation will continue to be English, owing to the continued dominance of the Anglo-saxon world, particularly the US, whose economic activity turns the wheels of global commerce to a large extent. So Urdu will have neither. Rather than Urdu, I predict a rise in individuals learning Mandarin as Chinese commercial activity continues to grow and become global. Hindi is an artificial construct as well, and I predict a highly -Anglicized version of Hindi serving as the link language in Northern India in the time to come, while Southern and NE languages will used Anglicized versions of their languages as well. This is the natural evolution of language. I agree that the fate of Urdu in India reflects the tale of Muslim fortunes in India, from invaders and rulers to equal citizens jostling for influence and resources with hundreds of other groups democratically, rising together with them and becoming one with the nation, which is the future than Maulana Azad predicted as well. Gradually, artificial constructs will give way to more uniting societal constructs that reflect socio-economic realities of today, rather than invisible glories of an imaginary past and this is what happens in history. Bdw, less than 4% of the Pakistani population spoke Urdu when it was declared the official language, and the vast majority speak Punjabi, so Urdu does not have a stronghold in Pakistan in reality, either. I suspect the percentage of Indians who speak 'pure' Hindi(if you even believe there is such a thing) is equally low.
Not really true. The language was already shaping up in the form of Khari Boli. The contact with Persian only helped it grow faster into a literary language.
@@zabanwala I would largely agree with that statement. It would be hard to put a timeline on when Hindi, particularly, Central Zone Hindi spoken in Western UP and Eastern MP exactly started to develop into Urdu, and the technical differences between slightly Persianized Hindi/Khariboli and Urdu. But this seems to be a specialist subject for Etymologists/ Linguists and it is tempting to succumb to credentialism and cede that territory to them. We again get into the muck of what exactly separates Urdu from Hindi if we try to determine when Urdu actually became Urdu. While I appreciate the 5 sounds you have talked about in this video and their evolution in India, I would respectfully counter by saying that what we're describing here is a dialect, not a language. But perhaps you could enlighten us about what separates Hindi from Urdu through a future video! I might be guilty of oversimplifying it, but to me Urdu seems to be the same language with a few nouns changed, a script from the middle eastern civilization and some nouns borrowed from Persian.
So what would be done? What should be done? Blaming indian govt and hindus is useless when Indian muslims themselves not serious in pronouncing correct Urdu and not interested in the script of Urdu despite knowing the fact that their language is facing extreme dislike if not hate amongst the non Urdu speakers both in India and Pakistan! Nobody is going to care Urdu if Urdu speakings themselves do not care their language! In India there are lot many cities where Urdu muslim population is concentrated in a very close vicinity forming an atmosphere of pure urdu speaking society within these urban center so Why they do not pay attention to talk correct Urdu and try to know how to write it too!? Yeh aap ki zubaan ha aur aap hi ko saumbhaalni ha Kisi aur ko Urdu ki parwah quon honey lagi? Ya hogi?
@@zabanwala Urdu has too many issues, but the most significant one is that spiritually, Urdu's head is in the past. Only in poetry can this kind of mind work, because in poetry we are calm and contempative. In all other aspects of implementation of language, one has to live in the present.
Absolutely loved it! Especially the phonetic explanation of the words with few examples from famous movies. Looking forward to listening and watching more videos from you.

The dwindling usage and reduced practical use of the language threatens its popularity, besides being cannibalised by English on the other hand.
