Urdu in the United States

Who speaks Urdu, and where they turn up.

Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and a scheduled language of India. It shares syntax with Hindi but uses Perso-Arabic script and draws vocabulary from Persian and Arabic for formal registers.

Chicago, Houston, Dallas, New York, northern New Jersey, DC and Detroit host large Pakistani and Indian-Muslim communities. Asylum applicants from Pakistan and Afghanistan also drive Urdu demand.
