The origin of the Urdu language is the Mughal Empire's word for army, Urdu. However, contrary to popular belief, Urdu was not created in the army camps of the Mughal Army. Urdu is spoken the same as present-day Hindi, but Hindi uses the traditional Devanagari script (a decedent of Sanskrit), whereas Urdu uses the Persio-Arabic alphabet.
The poet Ghulam Hamadani Mushafi coined the term Urdu for this language in 1780. However, this began to alienate the two major cultures in India/Pakistan, the Muslims and Hindus. Hindus began to speak and write Hindi, whereas Muslims would begin to speak Urdu.
In Pakistan, Urdu is mostly learned as a second or a third language as nearly 93% of Pakistan's population has a native language other than Urdu. Despite this, Urdu was chosen as a token of unity and as a lingua franca so as not to give any native Pakistani language preference over the other. Urdu is therefore spoken and understood by the vast majority in some form or another, including a majority of urban dwellers in such cities as Karachi, Lahore, Okara District, Sialkot, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Multan, Faisalabad, Hyderabad, Peshawar, Quetta, Jhang, Sargodha and Skardu. It is written, spoken and used in all provinces/territories of Pakistan although the people from differing provinces may have different indigenous languages, as from the fact that it is the "base language" of the country. For this reason, it is also taught as a compulsory subject up to higher secondary school in both English and Urdu medium school systems. This has produced millions of Urdu speakers from people whose native language is one of the other languages of Pakistan, who can read and write only Urdu. It is absorbing many words from the regional languages of Pakistan.
Although most of the population is conversant in Urdu, it is the first language of only an estimated 7% of the population who are mainly Muslim immigrants (known as Muhajir in Pakistan) from different parts of South Asia. The regional languages are also being influenced by Urdu vocabulary. There are millions of Pakistanis whose native language is not Urdu, but because they have studied in Urdu medium schools, they can read and write Urdu along with their native language. Most of the nearly five million Afghan refugees of different ethnic origins (such as Pashtun, Tajik, Uzbek, Hazarvi, and Turkmen) who stayed in Pakistan for over twenty-five years have also become fluent in Urdu. With such a large number of people(s) speaking Urdu, the language has acquired a peculiar Pakistani flavour further distinguishing it from the Urdu spoken by native speakers and diversifying the language even further.

Urdu Document Translation
Urdu is mutually intelligible with Hindi in spoken form but uses distinct vocabulary drawn from Arabic and Persian for formal and literary registers. Documents from Pakistan use standard Urdu terminology, while those from Indian states like Uttar Pradesh and Telangana may reflect regional Urdu varieties with localised administrative vocabulary. The Dakhni Urdu of southern India, while spoken, does not typically appear in official documents.
Urdu Document Types
Pakistani birth certificates are titled پیدائشی سرٹیفکیٹ (paidaishi certificate) and marriage certificates as نکاح ناما (nikah nama). Educational transcripts from Pakistani universities are commonly called ڈگری ٹرانسکرپٹ, and police clearance is a پولیس کلیئرنس سرٹیفکیٹ.
Where Urdu Is Official
Urdu is the national language of Pakistan, where it serves as the lingua franca and language of government, though only about 7% of Pakistanis speak it as a first language. In India, Urdu holds official status in the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal, and is one of India's 22 scheduled languages. It is widely used across South Asian diaspora communities globally, including a substantial population in Australia.
Urdu is written in a modified Perso-Arabic script called Nastaliq, flowing from right to left, with additional characters for sounds specific to South Asian languages. Romanisation of Urdu follows no single universal standard, which creates challenges when matching transliterated names across documents — translators must exercise careful judgement to ensure consistency with passport and identity record spellings.
About City of Perth
The City of Perth covers approximately 14 square kilometres encompassing the Perth CBD, Northbridge, and East Perth. With a residential population of around 30,000 that swells dramatically during business hours, it serves as the administrative, commercial, and cultural heart of Western Australia and has seen substantial apartment development over the past decade.
The LGA comprises Perth CBD, Northbridge, East Perth, West Perth, and Crawley, with the Murray Street and Hay Street malls forming the core retail precinct.
Council House on St Georges Terrace is the seat of local government. The City of Perth Library on Hay Street is a modern multi-level facility, and Perth Concert Hall, Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, and the Perth Cultural Centre in Northbridge anchor the civic and cultural landscape.
Perth Station and Perth Underground are the central rail hubs connecting all suburban lines. The free CAT bus network circulates through the CBD, and the Elizabeth Quay bus station serves as the main Transperth bus terminal. The Mitchell and Kwinana freeways converge at the city's edges.
