Actually neither. I speak tamil, which is south indian/dravidian. Hindi is a north indian/aryan language. Urdu is a hybrid language, its script is Perso-Arabic while its vocabulary was borrowed from the sanskrit derivatives of northern india(sanskrit being the latin of india).

Hindi and Urdu are basically the same language with different scripts..Hindi uses Devanagri script like Nepali and Marathi, while Urdu uses a Persian Script.

Since Cakravarti does not speak one of them it means he is a really great guy! Why? Well Hindi/Urdu (together known as Hindustani) is the language of the devil!!!! Yup! I know, because I have been forced to study it for the last 4 years! I took a break and did Bengali for a while... what a relief! Hindustani is all mixed up because it is a synthesis of perseo-arabic and sanskritic words and grammar! (Also it is the imperialist language in the subcontinent today!!! )

Dravidian languages on the other hand are super cool, just like Cakravarti!

Bengalis, just like Blade, are supercool too. Why-because it was the mutiny of the English East-India Companies Bengal army that caused the 'First National Uprising', also wrongly called the 'Great Rebellion' by our oppressors to deny the uprising of its nationalistic character.

Oh, I'm blushing!

Usually I resort to using traditional and renowned Bengali egotism to promote myself, nice to hear it from someone else!

Unfortunatly, however, I will have to admit, though starting the rebellion, it was mainly Bengali in conjunction with Panjabi forces that put it down!

I don't speak Malaysian or Mandarin, but I wish they would include the Majapahit Empire (aka Sri Vijaya empire) in the game.

---------------------------
I'm sorry, the Majapahits conquered the Sri Vijaya, they were two separate kingdoms.
