    I don’t but I wonder how close these two languages are? Since I sometimes watch Karl Rock on youtube, he apparently speaks both depending on where he is at the moment. Is it like “I understand nearly every word without even trying” or is it more like “If I focus hard enough I get the meaning of what the person is saying”?

      They’re different languages yes, but for spoken they’re almost interchangeable. Anyone who speaks Urdu will understand spoken Hindi, but each language has specific words unique to their vocabulary. Their vastly different in written too, Hindi is written in sanskrit script and Urdu is written in Arabic script. I speak Urdu but can freely communicate with Hindi speakers and vice versa but cannot read Hindi
