I speak Urdu quite a lot, too, and I read a lot of Persian.
Michael Bates was a very funny actor; he'd served in India, could speak Urdu, and had great comic timing.
A few words of Hindi appear here or there, but it's all Urdu. I feel that if the popular culture, which is what Hindi films are, uses Urdu, it's not going to diminish.
I feel French is very close to Urdu. Both languages are beautiful. Sadly, their beauty is lost in translation.
I speak Hindi fluently because my mother speaks only in Hindi and Urdu.
Urdu can not die out because it has very strong roots in Persia. The language itself is not only just the language of the Muslims, but it's also the language of the Hindus.
I can't understand Urdu, Bahasa or Russian, but when the Pakistani Faiz, the Indonesian Rendra and the Russian Rosdentvensky declaim, I can feel the living throb of rhythm and music, the warmth and passion of their poetry, as do the hundreds, not a mere roomful, of poetry lovers in the audience.
We recognised Urdu as the second official language and made it a medium of examination in all Bihar Public Service Commission tests.
