Urdu-speaking communities
Urdu-speaking communities are primarily found in Pakistan and India, where Urdu is one of the official languages. These communities also exist in various countries around the world, including Saudi Arabia, United States, and United Kingdom, due to migration. Urdu serves as a means of communication, cultural expression, and identity for these groups.
In addition to daily conversation, Urdu is used in literature, music, and film, contributing to a rich cultural heritage. Notable literary figures, such as Mirza Ghalib and Faiz Ahmed Faiz, have shaped Urdu literature, while Bollywood films often feature Urdu dialogue, further popularizing the language globally.
