1884. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 76618355. Urdu is a very popular language of the subcontinent, second only in the number of speakers to Hindi. It is the national language of Pakistan and an official language of UP in India. It is the language of poetry and of literature. This is a comprehensive, informative and useful dictionary for an English student seeking knowledge of the Hindi language or a Hindi student wanting to learn English. This is an essential work in understanding the poetry and literature of the Urdu language. Fascinating! \n
