It is important for English and Hindi knowing people to understand how the letters are truncated or symbolozed when two, three or more letters come together. I hope you have learned previous lessons well and you are able to read individual Urdu letters easily, if not, please go back to lesson 1.

LESSON 3.0THE 39 URDU CHARACTERS

Nasta@]l&q Style : The 39 Urdu Characters

ا ب پ ت ٹ ث ج چ ح خ د ڈ ذ ر ڑ ز ژ س شے ں و ہ ھ ء ی ک گ ل م ن ف ق ص ض ط ظ ع غ

Naskh Style : 39 Urdu Charactersش س ا ب پ ت ٹ ث ج چ ح خ د ڈ ذ ر ڑ ز ژے ں و ہ ھ ء ی ف ق ك گ ل م ن ص ض ط ظ ع غ

In order to understand Urdu clearly and easily, consideration of the following Three things (ppp) is essential. (A) Character Properties; (B) Character Positions and (C) the Connector Points.

(A) THE CHARACTER PROPERTIES :Unique for a Language born in dia, most of the characters of the Urdu can be recognized simply by looking at the ‘placement, number and presence or absence’ of the dot/dots or a mark (nauK[ta: nuktah<

�� �� ��) in them. Some say there are 37 characters in Urdu language, most people say there are 38

characters, I say there are 39 characters. These 39 characters can be grouped into sets, according to their properties.

(a) According to their ‘shapes,’ the Urdu lettere may be grouped into the following two sets.

i. 1, 2 or 3 dots : é(=ی ) ن گ ق ف غ ض ظ ت ٹ ث ج چ خ ڈ ذ ڑ ز ژ ش

ب پ

Page 10: Learn Urdu

books-india.com

ii. No dots : ے ی ء ھ ہ و م ( ں)ن ل گ) ک( ( ع)غ (ظ) ط ( ص)ض (ش) س (ز) ر ( ذ ) )د (خ

ح ا(b) Again, unique for the Language originated from Sanskrit, Urdu is not only written Right to Left, but

the Nasta@]l&q words and letters can be stacked and compacted, vertically and/or diagonally. e.g. � �� (f[ja,

Mountain pass), ��� ��� �� (jah²ma, Hell), � �� �� �� (Sa>jar, Daggar), � � ��� ���� (hnaIf[I, Religious), �� � �� � � ��� (ihjjaIr, One’s

nature), ��� (zar, House), � �� �� �� (bacapana, Childhood), �� ���� �� (iksaIsae, To someone), �� �� (bataS[a, Duck),

�����(mauhmmad, Muhammad), �� ���� �� (paICe, Behind), ��� �� �� (naIcae, Below), چیب (baIca, between) ...etc.

(B) THE CHARACTER SHAPES :Also, unique for the Languages of India, characters of the Urdu language are written in four shapes,

depending up on their position in a word.

(1) STAND ALONE POSITION : When a single letter is written as a stand-alone character, it is written

in complete shape, along with its dot (nauK[ta: nuktah< �� �� ��), if any. e.g. see the 39 Stand-alone Urdu

characters shown above.

(2) STARTING POSITION : When there are two or more letters in a word, the first letter is writtenin “Starting Position.’ the last letter in its End position and the rest in their Middle position.

For example : saba sab (all) �� (s&n is written in Starting shape, and be in End shape); sabak[ sabaq

(Lesson) � ��� (s&n is written in Starting shape, be in Middle position and qa@f in End shape)

NOTE : Urdu words can start from 37 of the 39 characters shown above. Their Starting shapes are :Nasta@]l&q style : 37 Urdu Characters in Starting position

µ ² Z z ڈ) never comes in Starting position) r z wd ¥ ¢ › ˜ ” ‘ Š ‡ „ a

a ƒ ƒ aStand Alone End Position Middle Position Starting PositoinNaskh style :

a ƒ ƒ aStand Alone End Position Middle Position Starting Positoin

TIP 7 : (i) No letter is connected on the LEFT SIDE of the Letter AiLaf[ alif (A a ). (ii) alif can be connected to the letter on its right side only. Therefore, in the Middle

position and in End position, the shape of alif remains same.

Examples : Urdu@ alif الف (Naskh ا�لف) (Hindi A English a )(for the letters be and pe, please see Lessons 3.1 and 3.2 or the Back Cover of the book)

(ii) Letter alif in Starting position ا ) ) : Aba ab (now) = Right to Left $ ba b + A a = ا + ب =

as Initial letter, alif) اب AiLaf[ ا must be written in Stand-alone shape; therefore, be bae ب also becomes a Stand-alone letter).

ا ب + پ = + ƒ + „= �پ �� (Naskh (��پ (be is written in Starting shape, alif in Middle

position is attached to be, but it is detached from pe. Letter pe is written detached from alif, in Stand-alone shape). See TIP 5

Page 12: Learn Urdu

books-india.com

(iv) Letter alif in End position (ƒ) : Abbaa abba@ = Right to Left $ a A ب ba b + ا + a A ا = a A

ƒ + ba b „ + a A ƒ = Naskh) ابا ا�� ) (alif is in Starting shape, be is in Middle position and second

alif [ is written in End shape, which is same as its Middle position shape). See TIP 4

NOTE : When the AiLaf[ alif (A a ) comes after the Urdu@ letters dal (د ), d<al ( ) jal ,(ڈ ذ ), re (ر ),

ade (ڑ ), jhe ( ژ) and zhe ( ز ) , the alif is written as a Stand-alone letter. eg\ دا ڈا زا ڑا را ذا

It ipmarts a plain sound (like A a ) to the consonant below it. e.g. ا = (A + A, a + a) ب = (ba` + A, b + a) پ = (pa` + A, p +

a)

(2) Zer j[aer ز��� (Naskh �� ( ز : e.g. ا ب .etc... پ

USING URDU PLURAL WORDS

RATNAKAR’S FIRST THREE NOBLE TRUTHS : (Singular to Plural)FIRST TRUTH : If the word is Masculine ending in a@ (Aa), the a@ (Aa) changes to e (]) in plural.

eg\ singular m\ Boy LaDñka lad<ka@ ’plural m\ Boys LaDñk # (����) لڑکا lad<ke لڑکے (����)SECOND TRUTH : If the word is Feminine ending in a consonant, then eÜ (]ã) is added in plural.

eg\ singular f\ Book iktaaba kita@b بکیتا plural f\ Books iktaabae> kita@beÜ # (����ب) (������ں) کیتابےںTHIRD TRUTH : If the word is Feminine ending in & (}|), the & (}|) changes to iya@Ü (}yaaã) in plural.

LESSON 8MAKING YOUR OWN SENTENCES FOR COMPLETED ACTIONS

A perfected or completed action indicates what you did, have done or had done.(i) suffix (m\) a@ (Aa) or (f\) & (}|) is attached to the verb that ends in a consonant or a short vowel.

eg\ verb chal caLa (to walk) # walked chal + a@ = chala@; I walked m\ maiÜ chala@, f\ maiÜ chal&.caLa + Aa = caLaa, (m\) maE> caLaa, (f\) maE> caLaI_ ی چلیں چال، میںچال؛ م= آ + چل ( ���������،������؛��= آ�+ ��� )

(ii) suffix ya@ (y + a@) yaa or y& (y + &) yaI is attached to the verb that ends in a long vowel such as a@, & or o (Aa, }|, Aae). eg\ verb so saae (sleep) # (slept) m\ so + y + a@ = soya@, I slept m\ maiÜ soya@, f\maiÜ soy&. saae + yaa = saaeyaa, (m\) maE> saaeyaa, (f\) maE> saaeyaI_ ی سوئیں سوئا، میںم ( �����،������������ )

(iii) If a completed action is Transitive, suffix ne (nae) is attached to the subject. verb kha@ Saa (eat) #(ate) kha@ + ya@ = kha@ya@, (I ate) maiÜne kha@ya@. Saa + yaa = Saayaa, maE>nae Saayaa_ اے کھای نیںم ( ������������ )p& paI (drink) # (drank) p& + ya@ = p&ya@, (I drank) maiÜne p&ya@. paIyaa, maE>nae paIyaa_ اے پیی نیںم ( ����������� )

(iv) When suffix ne (nae) is attached to a subject, the verb changes according to the Object (the thing on which the action is done). Now the Subject has no effect on the verb. eg\ m\ and f\ subject #

1. I ate a banana. maiÜ ne kela@ kha@ya@ maE>nae k’Laa Saayaa اھای کالے کی نیںم ( ��� ������������ ); 2. I ate bananas. maiÜ ne kele kha@ye maE>nae k’Lae Saayae ھائے کےلے کی نیںم ( ����������������� );

3. I ate a rot>& maiÜ ne rot>& kha@y& maE>nae rae@I SaayaI ھائی کے روٹی نیںم ( ��������رو������� );4. I ate rot>&/ maiÜ ne rot>iya@Ü kha@y&Ü maE>nae raei@yaaã SaayaI> ھائی کںاے روٹی نیںم ( ������ں���رو������� ).

RATNAKAR’S FIFTH NOBLE TRUTH : (Perfect tense)If an action is completed on a transitive verb, suffix ne (nae) is attached to the subject.(a) Completed or perfected action = I did, I have done, I had done ...etc.(b) Transitive action is where the the action is performed on an object, not on the

subject. eg\ I (the subject) ate (the verb) a mango (the object), I drank tea, I wrote a book ...etc.

(c) Intransitive action is where the action is performed by the doer (subject) on himöherself, i.e. the action is not transferred to any external object.

eg\ I (the subject) went, Bob slept, John walked, dog ran, cat died, they stayed, we came, you lived, baby cried, water leaked, house burnt, Sonia
