[Vancouver, Canada] — November 9, 2025 — LingQ, the leading language learning platform known for its innovative input-based approach, announces the addition of Urdu on World Urdu Day.
Urdu is one of the world’s most widely spoken languages with 240 million speakers and it is the national language of Pakistan. The language features vocabulary derived from Persian, Arabic, and Turkish. While Spoken Urdu is highly similar to Hindi, written Urdu is similar to Arabic and Persian.
With LingQ, Urdu learners explore authentic materials like podcasts, news articles, videos, and books, all with interactive tools that make learning the language more natural and enjoyable. Anything online can be imported into your LingQ Urdu library as learning material.
The addition of Urdu brings the number of languages available on LingQ to 53, making the platform one of the most diverse.
"I look forward to studying Urdu on LingQ, which already has Hindi, Punjabi and Gujarati," says Steve Kaufmann, polyglot and co-founder of LingQ. "With Urdu I can take advantage of my prior knowledge of the Persian writing system to get started learning a language very close to Hindi. Maybe I will tackle the Hindi writing system later."
