Talk:Urdu

A Plan for the Module
This module needs a plan if it is to become a useful resource for people wishing to learn Urdu. Here's a proposal to get us started; I can't go much further than this, but I'm sure someone else out there can.

Also, a template would make it easier to navigate from one page to the next, from exercise to answer key, and from section to section. --Skoosh 22:32, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
