Mainly in Pakistan and in some parts of India... Hindi is also very similar to urdu in many ways.

Urdu is one of two official languages spoken in in Pakistan - the other language is english. Urdu is also an official language of five Indian states of India.

Answer

Urdu is spoken predominantly in Pakistan, it is the national language of the country, though not really the official language, which happens to be English in most government departments and almost exclusively in the private sector.

It is, as far as I'm aware, not the official language or North India or Fiji.

Historically, it was the language spoken by the Muslims of India, under the Mughal rule. The word Urdu means "Camp", which refers to the origin of the language. The Mughal rulers had army with soldiers from all across India... Urdu developed as a means of common language, is a combination of 11 languages or so.

Interestingly, it is not the mother tongue of any of the indigenous people of Pakistan, and was brought to the Pakistan region by Muslim immigrants who left India after partition in 1947 to live in Pakistan (a small minority in the country residing mostly in the southern province of Sind.

===========================

Urdu is the official language in northern India, Pakistan and Fiji.

It is often referred to as Hindustani.
