shahid you keep saying that urdu is used only rarely i get a sense that what urdu means to you is a word that feels odd or foreign but most of the everyday words like jawan and aap and shadi are the same in both dialects languages if an urdu speaker can understand of the dialogues in most movies doesn't that mean that the dialogues are colloquial urdu also colloquial hindi difference in script doesn't mean difference in language when the young turks took over turkey they decided that turkish was henceforth to be written in roman rather than arabic script does that mean that turkish before the government imposed change was a different language i don't think so
