How Urdu looks on the page
- This pair
- Spoken Hindi and Urdu share most everyday words, so much of the change is the script — Devanagari becomes Nastaliq, written right to left — plus formal words, where Hindi leans on Sanskrit and Urdu on Persian and Arabic.
- Script
- Nastaliq (Perso-Arabic script), written right to left — copy it into an app that supports right-to-left text.
- Numbers
- Urdu print uses both Eastern Arabic-style digits (۱, ۲, ۳) and 0–9, and phones mostly 0–9.
- Names
- In Urdu text, names come from Arabic and Persian and have several English spellings (Mohammed / Muhammad).
Writing to Urdu readers
- Saying "you"
- Urdu has aap (respectful), tum (familiar) and tu (very close). Check the tone when you write to an elder, a client or an officer.
- Sentence order
- Hindi and Urdu both put the verb at the end, so most sentences keep their shape; idioms still need rewording.
- Mixed words
- Spoken Urdu and spoken Hindi share most everyday words; the scripts and formal vocabulary differ.
- Who reads it
- Urdu is spoken in Pakistan and across India, especially Uttar Pradesh, Hyderabad and Bihar.

Yes — up to 5,000 characters, 5 times a day, no sign-up.
Are names, dates and amounts kept?
The translator keeps names and figures as they are, but machine translation can slip — check dates and amounts against the original before you send.
Which "you" will the Urdu use?
The one that fits the tone of what you paste — a respectful message stays respectful for an Urdu reader.
Can I paste Hindi mixed with English words?
Yes. Mixed text is translated as a whole; everyday English words that Urdu readers also use can stay as they are.
