Urdu Alphabet
English Sound Pronunciation
Example
Learning the Urdu alphabet is very important because its
structure is used
in every day conversation. Without it, you will not be
able to say words properly
even if you know how to write those words.
The better you pronounce a letter in a word, the more understood
you
will be in speaking the Urdu language.
