urdu

Urdu inscriptions made of inlaid stone on the Taj Mahal. Urdu and Hindi are roughly the same language, though they use different alphabets for writing. I can read Hindi slowly, but I can't even distinguish where each letter begins in Urdu's Persian-Arabic script. I do admire how decorative it is though.
