Detailed explanation-1: -Urdu (Nastaliq: ; /ˈʊərduː/; ALA-LC: Urdū) or Standard Urdu (Nastaliq: ; Mayāri Urdū) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken chiefly in South Asia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Original question: Why is Urdu made to look like a language of Islam and Muslims? That is because the Urdu we know of, and speak today, would not have existed without the invasions of Northern India by Afghan/Turkic empires, and later Turco-Mongols (The Mughals), all of whom were Muslim by faith.
Detailed explanation-3: -Urdu, like Hindi, is a form of the same language, Hindustani. It evolved from the medieval (6th to 13th century) Apabhraṃśa register of the preceding Shauraseni language, a Middle Indo-Aryan language that is also the ancestor of other modern Indo-Aryan languages.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hindi has its origin in 9th Century, whereas Urdu came later only in 12th Century. Northwestern states speaks mostly Hindustani and some register of Standard Hindi, whereas northern India which also has more population still speaks Standard Hindi.
