Hindi and [[Urdu]] were considered the same language but have evolved into separate dialects. However, to this day, both languages are [[Mutual intelligibility|mutually intelligible]], meaning their speakers can understand each other without knowing the other language. Urdu, however, is written in the completely different [[Arabic alphabet]].
