A sad day for Urdu at The University of Washington

 It looks like no one wants to take Urdu at the University of Washington. I was at the bookstore the other day with my son and noticed that the shelves were full of Urdu workbooks.







urdu alphabet- प वर्ग और च वर्ग

ज और ब के बीच भी confusion होना स्वाभाविक है क्योंकि दोनों के नीचे एक बिन्दु लगता है,लेकिन धीरे धीरे प्रयास और पढने से आप दोनों में अन्तर करना सीख जायेंगे। च वर्ग के सारे अक्षर ऊपर की और से मुडेहुए होते हैं , अब देखिये:

प=پ پـ
च=چ چـ

फ=پھ
छ=چـھ

ब=
ب بـज=ج جـ
अब देखिये इनमें अन्तर कैसे देखेंगे , एक शब्द है " जला" जिसका अर्थ है निकल देना , तडीपार या देश से निकल देना, और दूसरा शब्द है बला -जिसका अर्थ है विपत्ति,संकट।

बला -بلا
जला -جلا

भ=بھ 
झ =جھ

म=مन=ن

You probably thought I would not approve this comment, but being the quirky gal I am...I thought that everyone should see it.

I am amazed that you actually created a blogger account just to get my attention here. I mean, blocking you was not enough.

To think that I should not learn a language because I do not follow your superstition is just...well...weird.

It would be like me telling you to stop using a computer because Bill Gates is an atheist.

I hope you like the video I made for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbBJm9DUQ4E

If you did not know this about me, I have a very mean side when people mess with me.

You got me. Ok, I concede that it was not the best thing to do. All I have to say is that I only want to offer you my sincere unconditional apology and have deleted the message (I clicked the delete button). I am sicerely sorry and have no excuse to doing such a thing.

I go to UW and that is normal to see until they get the number of students they want and then it usually disappears, usually.
