Nastaliq (Arabic-derived) Script
Urdu is written in the Nastaliq style of the Arabic script, flowing from right to left. Letters change shape based on their position in a word.
Writing Challenges
Urdu's right-to-left script with context-dependent letter shapes makes digital processing complex. Many letters look similar, making spell checking crucial.
Did You Know?
Urdu and Hindi are mutually intelligible when spoken, but use completely different scripts. Urdu is known for its rich poetic tradition, particularly ghazal poetry.
