- Certain letters in Urdu cannot connect to the letter coming after them (i.e., the letter to their left) even if that letter is part of the same word. We shall refer to these letters as "terminal" (though, again, they do not necessarily terminate a word). Such letters are also sometimes referred to as "unfriendly" letters.

urdu words are divided into non-connectors and connectors. non-connectors do not join the letters that follow them in any word. connectors join both preceding and subsequent letters and take a shortened shape except when appearing at the end of a word.
