Is Urdu not Pakistan's official language?

[LaBong]

I dont think so ,Abir.

p.s.: Also I can see this de-generating into a measuring contest.So lets stop it here and say cheers to each one's mther tongue.

It's recent development isn't it? Also it's not yet approved by Supreme court or passed as a law in parliament. As far as I know every state can have their own official language but when communicating to GoI they need to use either English or Hindi. We in our state prefer English for that purpose.

I agree with you, the whole comparing business is pretty lame, mother language is sweetest and best for everyone.

Yep...its fairly recent development.There were huge agitations by the lawyers and it was then permitted.Actually I dont think the Supreme court will cause any problems because the offices in TN are exempted from the Official Languages Act.

Yes communications of TN with Centre also happen in English

So true.

Urdu is a universal language in Pakistan, more then 80% people can understand and speak Urdu in Pakistan, it doesn't matter whether he is a balochi, Sindhi, ptowari or a Punjabi

First dont take wrongly as degarding Urdu.No Im not.

Seconly your point actually bolsters my point.Tamil infact was never derived from any language.It was a "proto-language" meaning it was a source from which many other languages were derived and didnt originate from anything itself.

The age of Tamil is not yet determined(tried,but couldn suceed).But on a minimum its estimated to be around 3000-4000 years.Not many languages can compare to that..Can it.?

I see we have different opinions of what rich is. For you it is originality, for me it is the mixture of numerous languages. Its totally up to the individual i presume.

Also my apologies for going off track

Jana ji,if you forgot,it was you who first brought in Tamil,though I guess it was In a light hearted manner...

Please go back a few posts and have a look.

Jane jee has a tendency to do that

Why would Pakistanis (who are allergic to everything Indian) adopt an Indian language as the official language for their country?

I am sure Jana jee would like to dispute the fact that Urdu originated in India

Well I tend to agree with that, but IF movies & music can have nationalities, then why can't languages?

And i would ask you why would Indians own something that was created by Invaders ???

but then we have seen Indians these days passionately also claim Mughals were Indians


and oh another question "Why Indians dont make Urdu an official language since it evolved in India
