Rayan

Submitted by sadia khan

Hi can someone tell me how to pronounce the name RAYAN
"The gate of heaven which allows fasting people in Ramadan to enter."

and is that the same as RAYN
"It is the name of a gate of the heaven"

i think its the same but just alternate spellings, the second one you can tell how to pronounce
like "RAA-YON"

but how would you say the 1st? and are they the same?

cuz there's another name RAYYAN
"Full, pretty"

but the meaning is diff. so i don't think its the same.
thank you.

they lady who wanted to learn urdu and hindi poetry

Submitted by jyesj

Actually urdu and hindi are very close as far as speaking is concerned. But the script are entirely different. urdu is writtien in arabic or persian script while hindi is written in deonagri. Actually I want to make it clear that you do not get confused b/w urdu and hindi. In india with a little change urdu is the language of speaking while in pakistan it is completly spoken and read with persian script. It is advisable if you are interested in learning urdu/hindi try pakistani institues. All the historical poetry is said in urdu not hindi. there is alphabet "ghain" also in arabic it is not available in hindi script so the poetry of urdu poets ghalib and mir have been defaced using hindi script. But urdu/hindi is popular in arab world because of indian movies where they use origional urdu and very few hindi words. this is the reason people relate urdu with india. anyway there are many institutes in india for pure urdu.
