Features
Urdu is a highly inflected language with a subject-object-verb (SOV) word order, although there are few fixed rules and a high degree of flexibility and variation. Urdu words are inflected to express gender, number, person, and case by adding a suffix or changing the sound of the word endings. Verbs are structured according to aspect and tense/mood, with successive layers of inflectional elements following the lexical base.
Dialects
Urdu is one of the standardized registers of the Hindustani language, with the other main standardized register being Hindi, and the two registers exhibit an extremely high degree of mutual intelligibility.
Writing System
Modified Perso-Arabic script
