=== Indo-Aryan languages === ==== Hindi-Urdu ==== There are two subjunctive moods in [[Hindi]]-[[Urdu]] ([[Hindustani language|Hindustani]]), first the regular subjunctive and the second, the perfective subjunctive which superficially has the same form as the perfective aspect forms of verbs but still expresses future events, it is only ever used with [[if clause]]s and [[relative pronoun]]s. In a semantic analysis, this use of the perfective aspect marker would not be considered perfective, since it is more closely related to subjunctive usage. Only the superficial form is identical to that of the perfective.<ref name=":1" /> The regular subjunctive mood can be put in two tenses; present and future.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=VAN OLPHEN|first=HERMAN|title=Aspect, Tense, and Mood in the Hindi Verb|date=1975|url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/24651488|journal=Indo-Iranian Journal|volume=16|issue=4|pages=284–301|doi=10.1163/000000075791615397|jstor=24651488|issn=0019-7246|access-date=2020-08-17|archive-date=2020-07-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200710232215/https://www.jstor.org/stable/24651488|url-status=live|url-access=subscription}}</ref> There is another mood, called the [[Counterfactual conditional|contrafactual mood]], which serves as both the past subjunctive and the past conditional mood in Hindustani.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Lesson 18 - Past Subjunctive in Hindi|url=https://taj.oasis.unc.edu/Hindi.Less.18/grammar03.html|access-date=2020-09-01|website=taj.oasis.unc.edu|archive-date=2024-08-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240829212618/https://taj.oasis.unc.edu/Hindi.Less.18/grammar03.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Hindi-Urdu, apart from the non-aspectual forms (or the simple aspect) has three grammatical aspects ([[Habitual aspect|habitual]], [[Perfective aspect|perfective]] & [[Progressive aspect|progressive]]) and each aspect can be put five grammatical moods ([[indicative]], [[Presumptive mood|presumptive]], subjunctive, [[Counterfactual conditional|contrafactual]] & [[Imperative mood|imperative]]). The subjunctive mood can be put in the present tense only for the verb '''''honā'' (to be)''' for any other verb only the future sujunctive form exists. Subjunctive mood forms for all the three grammatical aspects of Hindustani for the verbs '''''honā''''' (to be) and '''''karnā''''' (to do) are shown in the table below. {| class="wikitable" |+ Subjunctive and Contrafactual Conjugations of {{lang|hi|honā}} (to be) !
