Welcome to the online Urdu dictionary.
Urdu is an Indo-Aryan / Indo-Iranian language of Indo-European lineage. Its vocabulary developed under Persian & Sanskrit and to a lesser degree Arabic, Hindi, Greek and Turkish influence during the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire in South Asia.
Standard Urdu has approximately the twentieth largest population of native speakers, among all languages. It is the national language of Pakistan as well as one of the 23 official languages of India.
Using this dictionary, you can search for meaning of an Urdu word, or part of a word in English or vice versa. If you do not get the expected search results, please try variations of the spelling of the Urdu work.
