Ethnicity section

The use ethnicity section in this article does not seem valid. Urdu is a language that is spoken fluently throughout Pakistan and northern Indian and it is generally not associated with an ethnic group. An example would be Hindi, spoken fluently throughout northern India and is not associated with any ethnic group (and no ethnic group is mentioned in its Wikipedia article). Therefore, the ethnicity section should be removed from this article as it is quite misleading. Thanks :) PeoplesRepublicOfChina01 (talk) 16:45, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merger of the article into main Urdu article

The Urdu language has a wide and diverse group of fluent speakers, just like Hindi. The article, Urdu-speaking people complicates things instead of being useful, as there is no ethnic or ethnolingusitic group of Urdu-speakers as they are wide spread diverse group of people with various ethnic and regional identities. I suggest the merger of Urdu-speaking people article into this article, its situation is exactly like Hindi's, whose speakers do not form an ethnic or regional identity as other neighbouring regions.

The merger has been completed and a new sub page has been added to this article. PeoplesRepublicOfChina01 (talk) 12:29, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I've reverted it. It can't be done unilaterally. An WP:RFC is needed or at least a consensus in the well-advertised talk page proposal and then a RM. It take at least a month if not more. You can't make a hurried post and merge the page Fowler&fowler «Talk» 13:09, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Except that Urdu speaking people most definitely see themselves as a coherent identity. 39.41.209.33 (talk) 07:20, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Table about the number of speakers by country

That table does not make sense, the L1+L2 number (as stated in India) cannot be lower than just the L1 number of speakers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.79.110.116 (talk) 22:50, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lashkari

Who has ever called the Urdu language "Lashkari"? The citation given, gives no references for this – most likely WP:CIRCULAR. نعم البدل (talk) 02:56, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 7 October 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please change ethnicity text in the infobox from Urdu-speaking people to Hindustani Muslims as they are known locally in South Asia as Hindustani Muslims to distinguish them from other religious groups. 223.123.115.133 (talk) 06:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:26, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Phonology

I'm confused as to why each individual nasal vowel is included when the Hindustani phonology article doesn't include them.

The orthography doesn't even give them separate letters. They're treated as vowels + nasalisation but not as separate phones. 178.120.11.225 (talk) 17:47, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
