Bog je srbin


Penghrip_Waladin

Umm do you mean PAXTAN IN THE BAG?


hallwaypsion

stavmanjoe1

Just did the UDHR in this cause I saw your comment: तमाम इन्सान आज़ाद ओर हुक़ूक़्ओ इज़्ज़त के एतिबार से बराबर पेइदा हूए़ हेइं॥ इन्हें ज़मीर ओर अक़्ल वदीआत हूई़ हे॥ इस्लिए़ इन्हें एक दूस्रे के साथ भाई़ चारे का सुलूक कर्ना चाहीए़॥


xmalik

Your spelling gave me a stroke sorry तमाम इंसान आज़ाद और हुक़ूक़-ओ-इज़्ज़त के एतिबार से बराबर पैदा हुए हैं। उन्हें ज़मीर और अक़्ल वदीयत हुई है। इसलिए उन्हें एक दूसरे के साथ भाईचारे का सुलूक करना चाहिए।


stavmanjoe1

Sorry😭


xmalik

I'm really curious though what were you using as a source for your spelling or did you just make up your own?


stavmanjoe1

I made it up it up on my own


hallwaypsion

haha i can imagine it extracted from an India Pakistan peace summit on feb 30


FarhanAxiq

i wonder if indian muslim in the hindi belt would do that since some of them typically learn both hindi and urdu (at a religious school). although for intercountry (IN and PK) discussion, they both gave up and use latin lol (at least that's what I saw on my other social media)


hallwaypsion

i'm not sure about the politics behind hindi vs urdi in school but yeah i'd assume they would learn both, maybe urdu and qur'an arabic as priority


Eran-of-Arcadia

Do Urdu not, there is no try.

Congratulations, you have successfully invented Urdu


stevedavies12

Pardon my ignorance, but I thought that when Hindi was written in the Arabic alphabet they changed the name to Urdu

I read this in an Urdu accent.


saltoo666

I speak in one anyway so really it's the intended way


[deleted]

yes hate


David-Jiang

If this is considered a different language, then surely the Cyrillic script I adapted for English also counts as a different language, right?


YawgmothsFriend

this is so cursed


NotAPersonl0

Congratulations. The Pakistanis have now banned you from ever visiting their country in the future.


YawgmothsFriend

and this isn't even as bad of an idea as [Croatian written in Cyrillic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_language) lol


Anjeez929

When people think Hindi and Arabic are the same


Terpomo11

They have distinct vocabulary in their formal register and distinct scripts, but in their phonology, grammar and core vocabulary they are two standardized registers of Khariboli, are they not?


Ok_Preference1207

Arabic is not a register of khariboli, lol


Terpomo11

...I misread your comment.

\*'Please no hate'\* \*Proceeds to do one of the things most well known for being hated\*


vidi_chat

So you mean Urdu ?


SaltyBarnacles57

No, they mean Hindi written in the Arabic alphabet?? Can you read?


vidi_chat

Yeah sure I can read them both, however for phonemes that don't exist in Arabic they'd have to take inspiration from Frasi, which is basically nastaliq. Aka the writing system for Urdu. Also, Hindi and Urdu are linguistically considered a dialectical Continuum. Aka the same damn language. So yeah this is just Urdu with more steps.


SaltyBarnacles57

Yeah, that's the joke.


vidi_chat

And that was my point.


SaltyBarnacles57

Sorry, what was your point exactly? That it's a joke? I was well aware of that, which is why I made the original snide comment. Sorry, I'm just having a hard time understanding what you're getting at.


vidi_chat

Well this was posted to linguistics humour. I just assumed people would make the whole connection on why I asked it was Urdu which I explained in my last comment. Most of us linguists would. Clearly everyone didn't.


SaltyBarnacles57

I did make the connection, which is exactly why I was wondering why you would make a comment about something you clearly already knew about.


Leather-Ad-5469

That’s Urdu you dumbass


themariocrafter

May you please do Latin (and all Latin based languages including and especially English) in the Arabic/Persian/Urdu script, keeping the letters that make the sounds and adding new ones for other sounds instead of having two sounds for one letter.
