Abstract
This paper presents a systematic study for the entropy and coding of the printed Urdu language. Comparison with the study of printed Arabic and printed English is also given. We also find the alphabet entropy of the Urdu language using Bayesian estimator given by Gill and Joans (1979) and compare it with the entropy calculated through using the usual maximum likelihood estimator.
