long or short 'u'?
I feel pedantic for mentioning this, but the way the word is written, it has a long 'ū'. While the Hindi spelling हिंदुस्तानी has short 'u'. Maybe this is just conservatism in Urdu spelling and in this case people actually pronounce 'و' as short... Exarchus (talk) 11:10, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
