Hindi-Urdu Grammar
Hindi is one of the official languages of India. Urdu is the national language of Pakistan as well as a scheduled language in India. The two are often held as separate languages for social and political reasons, and in terms of their preferred sources of classically derived vocabulary; however, on a linguistic basis they are two standardized registers of a single subdialect, that being the Khari boli dialect of Delhi. Their grammatical differences are minimal, and so, keeping in line with such a linguistic analysis, Hindi and Urdu occupy a single Wikipedia grammar page.

Famous quotes containing the word grammar:
“Grammar is a tricky, inconsistent thing. Being the backbone of speech and writing, it should, we think, be eminently logical, make perfect sense, like the human skeleton. But, of course, the skeleton is arbitrary, too. Why twelve pairs of ribs rather than eleven or thirteen? Why thirty-two teeth? It has something to do with evolution and functionalism—but only sometimes, not always. So there are aspects of grammar that make good, logical sense, and others that do not.”
—John Simon (b. 1925)
