Any plans on Urdu?

Now, that Hindi has been added to Lingq, I think it would be great to add Urdu as well, because the languages are similar enough and in fact tend to be mixed in speech, so I’m sure there are people who try to learn them together, as myself.
Lingq already supports the Arabic script, so probably it should not present any techinical difficulties.

Yeah, I’d love to see Urdu on LingQ. I can already read Arabic and Farsi, and so it would be an easier transition for me to move onto Urdu, rather than directly to Hindi. I’d also like to tackle Punjabi too, since like Urdu, it’s also widely spoken in Pakistan, the two are often code-switched in single dialogue, and I believe they have a significant amount of cognates too.
