- Abstract
This paper is restricted to the discussion of the socio-cultural impact of loanwords of Arabic origin on Urdu in the Indian sub-continent. The present paper begins by giving a brief history of the Arabs' contact with the population of the Indian sub-continent speaking different languages. It discusses briefly the advent of the Muslims speaking different languages including Arabic resulting in the evolution of a new language, later known as Urdu. The paper discusses the circumstances under which word-borrowing has taken place.
