Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language with about 104 million speakers, including those who speak it as a second language. It is the national language of Pakistan and is closely related to and mutually intelligible with Hindi, though a lot of Urdu vocabulary comes from Persian and Arabic, while Hindi contains more vocabulary from Sanskrit. Linguists consider Standard Urdu and Standard Hindi to be different formal registers both derived from the Khari Boli dialect, which is also known as Hindustani. This App is designed to learn Urdu in a fun way. Designed by Sarbjeet Singh Graphics by Gurpartap Singh Popy

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ling at 4.6 against Learn Urdu's 3.5. Ling also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 4). Learn Urdu's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 22) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
