Abstract

A lot of researchers have tried to create links between Turkish and Urdu languages. Some researchers have argued that Urdu is directly influenced by Turkish Language. It might be because word “Urdu” is derived from Turkic word “Oordou” meaning “Camps” or “Armies”. Many linguists think that Urdu has less contact with Turkish as compared with Arabic and Persian Languages. On the other hand, the Grammatical Structure of Urdu Language is much more similar to the Hindi Language. No Doubt, Turkish and Urdu share a lot of words but it is Grammatical and syntactical structure that determine family of a language not vocabulary. Almost every language has loan words and with the passage of time, every language adopts new words from other languages. For example, scientific terms in almost every language are in Latin. This article is a short description of Turkish Influence on Urdu Language. I have tried to explain the similarities and differences between Turkish and Urdu Languages and cases which govern these similarities and differences.
