No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

So the same language, but different writing systems. Like if English were written in binary, it'd still be English, but nobody would be able to read it like they could read English text.
They say that the common definition of "a language" is by borders and military, rather than by any linguistic criteria! Lol

I suppose but u also have to take the plethora of words that exist in one and not the other and different dialects E.g the word for family is "parivaar" in hindi and "khaandaan" in Urdu God is "bhagwan" in hindi and "Rabb" in urdu etc etc I'm not sure about Hindi but I think it derives from Sanskrit. but Urdu was called "Rekhta" before as it's parent language . The word Urdu comes from the Turkish word for army "Ordu". Urdu was formed after an amalgation of Arabic and Persian and over the years as soldiers from different ethnicities came under one banner in the subcontinent it picked up vocab from old Hindi as well and due to the centuries of living along side Hindi speakers, alot of words are understood between each other. If someone was to speak Rekhta or even "pure" Urdu today as how or is in old poetry, as it was in the beginning, I'm sure no hindi speaker will understand and even modern Urdu speakers will take a minute
