Useful and user-friendly:
The books in the newer series of Lonely Planet phrasebooks are all excellent, because the authors make the assumption that the reader is an educated and literate individual, who wants to know something more about the target language than just a list of supposedly common phrases. There is a tremendous amount of information packed into this handy little book. Contrary to what another reviewer said, the book makes a very clear distinction between Hindi and Urdu words. The sections on script and grammar are well done. Overall, it is probably the best Hindi/Urdu phrasebook available.
Great little book:
This tiny little book is full of useful words and phrases. I want to learn both Hindi and Urdu, and this is a great way to see the overlap and differences between the two languages--in their respective scripts. This book provides a lot of information for the money and is a great reference.
Great compact reference:
Very helpful pocket reference.
Do not go for this one.:
This phrasebook does not make clear which words are Hindi and which words are Urdu. Not recommended for the beginner.
A very useful phrasebook:
This phrasebook is excellent. It provides both Nagari and Urdu orthography. The little dictionary in the end is very exhaustive and ready-made sentences cover a wide range of needs.
