This is a list of Urdu language words of Persian origin. Many Persian
words also came into English through Urdu during British colonialism.
Persian was the language of the Mughal court before British rule in
India even though locals in North India spoke Hindusthani. Thus many
words in the list below, though originally from Persian, arrived in
English through the intermediary of Ottoman Turkish language.
