They’re different languages yes, but for spoken they’re almost interchangeable. Anyone who speaks Urdu will understand spoken Hindi, but each language has specific words unique to their vocabulary. Their vastly different in written too, Hindi is written in sanskrit script and Urdu is written in Arabic script. I speak Urdu but can freely communicate with Hindi speakers and vice versa but cannot read Hindi

I honestly never knew this. Thanks for sharing!
Sound very similar to Serbo-Croatian - a language spectrum divided by geopolitics.
Nice, thank you.
