Abstract

Urdu is the third largest language spoken in the world. Many traditional theories were in vogue, as for as their origin is concerned, before the advent of modern linguistics. Mir Aman Dehlvi in the foreword of his famous "Bagh -o-Bahar" claimed that Urdu originated in an "army camp or Bazar" for which it was termed as "Urdu zaban or Lashkari zaban (the language of army camp)" and used for communication in the era of Mughal emperor Akbar. This theory misled many scholars and various traditional theories were presented by them based on Mir Aman,s formula of language construction. The present article is an Explorative and Critical Analysis of Traditional Theories of the Origin of Urdu.
