[edit] UNICODE

Is Urdu expressable in UNICODE? Has that had any impact on Urdu keyboards? Might it in the future? DelRayVA 192.31.106.34 20:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Urdu predominantly uses the Arabic Unicode standards. Basic structure of Urdu unicode was standardised in 2000 [1]. However, issues on additional letters and characters are probably still in progress.--IsleScapeTalk 12:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hindustani Orthgraphy and Romanisation

I am removing links because:

  1. Hindustani orthography lists two different scripts. Since standard Urdu keyboards only use Perso-Arabic script, it's more relevant to put a direct link to the right article instead of causing any confusion. Hence reverting it back to Perso-Arabic script
  2. Uddin and Begum Urdu-Hindustani Romanization is ambiguous. Citation to the only reference is incomplete. Not notable.--IslesCapeTalk 12:49, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for being willing to discuss the issue. I'm fine with your removal of the links. Thanks for providing your reasons. However, do you think some link to an article on the Romanisation of Urdu would be relevant? Perhaps a link Roman Urdu if not Uddin and Begum Urdu-Hindustani Romanization? Because of globalisation, Urdu, like other languages, is often written in the Roman script. It is also written this way in order to allow Hindi and Urdu speakers to communicate in writing. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. With regards, AnupamTalk 19:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
