I read about it that Pakistan tried artificially add more Persian words to Urdu after independence. The arificial Urdu can differentiated from the original Indian one but you guys claims we have added more Sanskrit word to it. Just like Pot calling the Kettle black.
Anyone with even the tinniest bit of intellect would know that there is no 'original' language & there is no 'artificial' language for a language is a human construct !
And that Urdu by its very nature is an ever-evolving language exponentially more so than Sanskrit, English or German to name a few.
And we have no added Persian to our Urdu for the Urdu that was spoken in these parts of Pakistan was already Persianized to an extent that Persian was the Court Language of the Mughal Empire & for a while the British Indian Empire naturally the imprint it has had on the local languages is vast.
At any rate Urdu & Persian are not mutually intelligible in the least bit & our Urdu borrows loan words from Persian, from Turkish, from Arabic, from Sanskrit & from our local languages in addition to being written in the Persian Script - I dunno where the Pot or the Kettle comes from in any of this !
