  Abstract


This paper explores the origins and development of Urdu language and literature in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent leading up to the mid-19th century. Urdu emerged as a distinct Indo-Aryan language during the Mughal dynasty, drawing vocabulary from Persian, Arabic, and local North Indian languages. The paper traces Urdu's beginnings in army camps to its adoption by the upper classes and recognition as a literary language and symbol of Muslim identity, catalysed by Sufi mystic and poet Amir Khusrow. It follows Urdu's diffusion throughout northern India with the mobile Mughal army, administration, and merchants, taking root particularly within the syncretic Punjab region. The analysis outlines critical periods and locations associated with the significant progression of Urdu poetry and prose, its scripts, Perso-Arabic and Devanagari vocabulary, and dialects until the mid-1800s
