Borrowing and word's adaptation is the most common process through which languages evolve mostly in this global era as languages' contact takes place widely. Borrowing is the process in which one language borrows words from another language and adapts those words in its vocabulary. The Urdu language is the national language of Pakistan, as it has come in contact with different languages, and it has a wide capacity to adapt many words and borrow them. It has a rich phonetic system so it can easily own borrowed words. This paper analyzes the process of borrowing and words adaption in the Urdu language.
