mastodon.social is updated with the bookmark feature developed by @[email protected].

I can already see that the action bar now looks too crowded so the bookmark function will maybe move to the dropdown menu soon.

I've also imported the Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Urdu and other new translations from Crowdin. If you would like to see those translations completed, you can contribute here:

Please look at that page before asking for new languages to be added! They are probably already there!!

@Gargron we need Urdu Language officially both in translation & text format.

220 Million Pakistani , most of 200 Million Indian Muslim's & 55 Million Urdu Indian speakers & many many More, speak Urdu.

Urdu is the parent language of Hindi.
Please don't neglect Urdu delibrately like Hindutva Fascist Twitter did.

@Revler @Gargron Sure, a lot of Urdu loan-words in Hindi, both came into existence simultaneously, Urdu influenced Hindi more, than the other way around, Persian/Arabic the Urdu parent being the court language was bound to affect the development of the local spoken Hindi dialects but, why & how do you deem Urdu a parent of Hindi though? Did it not come from Sanskrit? Calling them cousins or childhood friends would've made more sense.

@Owaisbukhari15 ignorance

I can go into deep historic, history of Urdu lingua Franca.

Urdu is born & created in Hyderabad.

Urdu is the parent language of Hindi, not a word influenced from 'Brahmin only' language of Sanskrit. Or khadi boli, as it's often presumed.

There are no Hindi transcripts prior to 1903,
Not a single one.

It wasn't even a language until 1931.

Hindi was officially recognized 1951, out of Brahmin Savarna Hindu inferiority Complex from Urdu.

Let's just leave it here.

@Revler Interesting, I'll have to read up on the matter then. Maybe, i too have fallen for the Sanghi-brainwashing. Give me a few days, I'd love to get back on the matter.

@Owaisbukhari15 Urdu language is born, nurtured, curated in Hyderabad (then Islampur)

It's surrounded by Dravdian langues & lingua Franca speakers.

It retains Persian Islamic Farsi, Islamic Arabic & Islamic Turkic, with Muslim-Mongol dialects. No influence from Pre Islamic era.

Exclusively Muslim & Islamic lingua Franca.

How on Earth do you make so many presumptions ? Ignorance

Reading too much of Brahmin Hindi Propganda? Colonial British orientalism? or Bollywood filmi drama's ?

@Owaisbukhari15 And u don't understand, why are you getting all riled, to deminish or belittle Urdu language.

And start comparing it with Hindi or anyother language.

What's wrong if I speak my mother tounge Urdu language, of Hyderabad.

Urdu is born, created, curated, nurtured in Hyderabad.

Anyways
My challenge still stands

//Show me one Hindi transcript & document before late 1840's.

You can't find a single one, my challenge to anyone.

Hindi was developed in 1850's formalized by 1950's//

@Revler I really wasn't riled, not then!
It wasn't a put-down of the Urdu language in any way, you made the comparisons, the connections, i was merely expressing my disliking on your oversimplification of the Hindi language as an illegitimate child of the Urdu language somehow. It may be an imagined/cocked-up bull by leaders of an independent India, call it a Sanghi dream or scheme, i still love all the languages i was taught in school. I'll stand against its stupid Imposition though, always!
