Prolonged Connection between Persian and Arabic in Urdu

The Indian subcontinent is the second home of the Persian language. Once upon a time, Persian was the official, administrative, correspondence and accounting language of government departments and administrations in this country. The influence and spread of the Iranian language and culture in the subcontinent is an undeniable fact. These similarities have taken place in different historical periods in various ways, including the domination of Muslim rulers, the migration of Iranian poets and merchants, the presence of Iranian architects and architectural works, and the attacks and conquests of some Iranian kings, and so on. In addition to these factors, the kinship of the two languages and cultures has itself caused some of these similarities. Also, Urdu language has been inspired by Arabic literature and its grammar and syntax in the structure of its words for different linguistic expressions and meanings and the formation of grammatical and morphological parts. Urdu makes extensive use of Arabic words and phrases, meaning that it contains a wealth of language, most of which is taken out of Arabic because there are thousands of words in it.
