I still do this, but don't find it a problem, enjoy the diversions. ----please, draw me a sheep---- Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Linguistic therapy LukeJavan8 #199261 04/21/11 05:54 AM Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,706 down under Candy OP Pooh-Bah OP Candy Pooh-Bah Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,706 down under makes me wonder..... 100 words for Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Linguistic therapy Avy #199262 04/21/11 08:19 AM Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5,295 Netherlands, the Hague BranShea Carpal Tunnel BranShea Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5,295 Netherlands, the Hague Avy, it must be nice to understand those old languages.

The functional languages I know are Kannada, Tamil and now Konkani (still learning). Urdu is the language I love. I am not very good at it. I am constantly looking up the Urdu dictionary because I read a lot of Urdu poetry. I know this line up sounds impressive, but all Indians are bi,tri,quadri lingual.

My understanding is that on a basic conversational level, Urdu and Hindi are pretty much the same. When you get into specialized registers, the vocabulary is different. And of course the scripts are different. I know some Hindi, and a little amount of Sanskrit and Tamil.
