In present century, data volume is increasing enormously. The data could be in form for image, text, voice, and video. One factor in this huge growth of data is usage of social media where everyone is posting data on daily basis during chatting, exchanging information, and uploading their personal and official credential. Research of sentiments seeks to uncover abstract knowledge in Published texts in which users communicate their emotions and thoughts about shared content, including blogs, news and social networks. Roman Urdu is the one of most dominant language on social networks in Pakistan and India. Roman Urdu is among the varieties of the world's third largest Urdu language but yet not sufficient work has been done in this language. In this article we addressed the prior concepts and strategies used to examine the sentiment of the roman Urdu text and reported their results as well.

In this paper we have discussed different methods and techniques that were used to achieve the results of sentiment analysis of roman Urdu text/comments. We have tried our best to include all the researches that have been done so far in roman Urdu sentiment classification. In all this study we have seen that classification was performed in two or three classes whether it was (positive, negative or neutral). Most researchers have used Naïve Bays, logistic Regression and Support Vector Machine. We also concluded that very limited work has been done in roman Urdu language. There are few researchers who proposed the models for roman Urdu sentiment analysis. Most of the research is performed in English language. As Roman Urdu is the variant of third largest language in the world there a lot of work is needed in this language
