Urdu is the name used for the Hindustani language as spoken by Muslims. It is the national language and one of the two official languages of Pakistan (the other being English), and one of 22 scheduled languages of India, as an official language of five Indian states.

Urdu is generally written from right to left just like Arabic and Persian. Urdu has 39 basic letters and 13 extra characters, and most of these letters are from Arabic and a small quantity from Persian.

There are between 60 and 70 million self-identified native speakers of Urdu: There are 52 million in India, some 6% of the population; 12 million in Pakistan, or 14%; and several hundred thousand in the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, United States, and Bangladesh. However, a knowledge of Urdu allows one to speak with far more people than that, as Hindi-Urdu is the fourth most commonly spoken language in the world, after Mandarin, English, and Spanish.

Urdu is also spoken by large numbers of immigrants and their children in the major urban centres of the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany, Norway.
