(Kita'b I Muqaddas: Zabu'r 23 az Dáúd) Nastaʿlīq (Perso-Arabic) Script Devanāgarī script १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ( २३ ) Usage Christian community in the Indian subcontinent Urdu was the dominant native language among Christians of Karachi, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan in the 20th century and is still used today by some people in these states.
