This textbook will help intermediate students gain advanced levels of proficiency in Urdu. By learning about the mechanics of word-building through contextualising explanations and practical exercises, learners will develop their comprehension skills in reading, writing and speaking. Each module is based on a register from another language and follows the same structure with a self-explanatory introduction illustrated by carefully chosen examples and a range of exercises to improve and test learners' skills. Urdu Vocabulary complements college-level Urdu language and literature courses as well as self-study, making it an ideal resource for students, translators, researchers and scholars.
