Most likely it is Urdu, the main language of Pakistan, which is very similar to Hindi, but written in a script derived from Persian.

I'm glad you got in there before me. I wonder whether a soon-to-be former President was aware of the difference?

Well, never having studied that family of languages, so I really couldn't tell you the difference between Arabic and Urdu by looking at it. The only thing I CAN comment on is that what it looks like -- but if its origins are Persian, that would explain it.

Yep, grew up in New Mexico. Both my Sister and now my niece attended NMSU. My mother went to Eastern, though. I remember many many hours sitting in the library at Eastern when I was a kid...
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
