Often regarded as a Persianized version of Hindustani (3), Urdu's poetic and lyrical nature adds to its enchanting aura.
Steeped in history, the journey of Urdu's nomenclature is intriguing. The name Urdu was shortened from Zaban-i-Ordu, by the esteemed poet Ghulam Hamadani Mushafi in the late 18th century (3). Originally used interchangeably with Hindavi and Hindi, the language found its identity as Zaban-e-Urdu-e-Mualla, meaning ‘the language of the exalted camp,’ reflecting its association with the Mughal emperors' court.
The term Ordu, derived from Turkic languages, meaning ‘army,’ further weaves an enigmatic tale of how this exquisite language earned its appellation.
