After a few seasons of Expanse, I couldn't stop mixing Belter Creole. It's so fantastically interwoven into their culture. I absolutely love how it's much more relatable and easier to pick up than something like Dothraki or Valyrian, which may as well have been Parseltongue for me. My only wish is that fictional worlds use more Urdu/Hindi phrases, but I'm sure bilingual person whishes their favorite world used both their languages. Although Belter Creole does use some familiar Urdu words, they're often paired with completely unfamiliar words. For example, setara mali or little star (literally "star little") uses the Urdu word sitara for star, but pairs it with—what I think is—the Polish word for small.
