    Well of course it is. After all, English doesn't put up with such things. And while we're on the subject, I've never understood why the French can't grasp the proper pronunciations of tough, cough, hiccough, though, brought, and through. ;)

    Probably for the same reason why native English speakers can't grasp the pronunciation of 'voiture' for example. That final guttural 'r' is killing you. ;P

      In a Call center? Jokes apart, Hindi is similar to Urdu when speaking because Hindi was derived from Urdu. Hope you learnt something new today.

        Hindi. You should learn it, Adnan. Maybe you could get a real job.

        1. Adnan knows Urdu which is mutually intelligible with Hindi. 2. If your point was that he could find a real job in India, I certainly wouldn't welcome him. 3. He is, as usual, talking out of his arse when he says Hindi is derived from Urdu.

        Cheers, Vikram.

                  Instead of being a kid, why don't you put forward your point? or you want to say hindi is NOT similar when speaking? no where i said hindi and urdu share same script.

                            Unfortunately, your religion is a cheap knock-off of Judiasm. As an ex-Methodist, I find their yodeling and your yodeling equally unappealing. Add in the fact that Jews and Christians have figured out how to use toilet paper and there's no contest.

                              I can't say same about your religion because I would have read more about it than you would have or about other religion. Fortunately I have met some good members of your religion. So in short there's something which lacks in you and only you should be cursed.
