The Perso-Arabic script form of this language underwent a standardization process and further Persianization in the late Mughal period (18th century) and came to be known as Urdu, a name derived from the Turkic word "ordu" (army) or "orda" and is said to have arisen as the "language of the camp", or ""Zaban-i-Ordu"", or in the local ""Lashkari Zaban"". As a literary language, Urdu took shape in courtly, elite settings. Along with English, it became the first official language of British India in 1850.
