A. In common parlance, Urdu is merely regarded as a highbrow version of the common tongue in Northern India, with a Persian touch (In terms of directly lifted words, and the use of Izafe), just as “Shuddh Hindi” (Pure Hindi) is considered the highbrow version of the same tongue, just peppered with strict grammar rules and heavy Sanskrit words. In essence, there isn’t as big a difference between Hindi and Urdu in the spoken tongue as is commonly thought, the difference primarily being in vocabulary, for the grammar is still Indic. Due to the different origins (Persian being associated with the Islamic empires, Sanskrit being the native noble tongue prior to the invasions), and the partition, some differences have come about in the spoken tongue as well, due to both sides wishing to “purify” the language on their own terms. For all practical purposes, Urdu and Hindi are mutually intelligible when spoken, with any gaps in vocabulary being filled in by context.
