is hindi also called urdu? I was unaware urdu was still spoken ans I thought it was like what they spoke in mesopotamia in ancient time or something. Its very possible im mixing up two very different things.
Urdu is spoken in Pakistan and is a sister language of Hindi. They are very similar and there is a high degree of mutual intelligibility. It has some Arabic and Persian influence as I understand it.
Perhaps you might be thinking of the Ugaritic language. It was spoken in the Syria/Lebanon area.
Thank you. You know I was looking it up and I think its just that there was so many names that began with U in like sumer that I just thought the language came from it. Like Ur and Uruk and Eridu (ok that last one does not start with U but has a very U feel :)
