True Urdu wasn't the Language of Pakistan.............But it is now and we are happy to speak it.

Personally i would have preferred Dari ( old Persian ) as the language, but Jinnah wanted Pakistan to have a close relationship with India as long as we live separately so he choose Urdu.

Urdu has historical relationship with Muslims of India (pre partition) Hindus did everything to wipe out Urdu and implement Hindi, it is a language which can be easily spoken and understood by majority of current Pakistan, Iran, India and parts of Afghanistan.

Urdu have words from Arabic, Turkish, Persian etc. So all those who speak Urdu can learn and understand these languages and same is opposite, before British Raj Urdu was much closer to these languages that is why sub continent had poets, writers who wrote in Persian, Urdu etc.

Even my great grandfather wrote naats in persian.

That was coz Persian was taught at school. But that still doesnt mean that Iranians speak urdu, they dont. Yes we have similar words but they way we pronounce those words is very different to the way they say it.

They do, and kindly stop going against Urdu because if you are doing it then you are going against Founder of Pakistani and those who created it, and that person is enemy of the state.

Mate you don't know anything, my wife is Iranian and i have been to Iran, so i know what i am talking about. Secondly before you give out your fatwas of being a traitor, show me where i said anything against Urdu. If you can't comprehend what i said then better not reply to me.

People of Iran and Afghanistan can’t understand Urdu. We do share some common words and shair uses Farsi/Dari words but that is it.

Many people in India also don’t know Urdu.

Listen to Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s speech at the UN, that is what real Urdu sounds like.

Most Pakistanis speak mixtures of Urdu, Punjabi, Pukhto, English, and other tongues in the street.

However I will say Pakistani Urdu is not easily intelligible to outsiders, except some parts of North India.

Your assessment is not entirely true either. Bangla was widely spoken in Bengal since the Bengal sultanate period. Poets like Abdul Hakim, Shah Muhammad Sagir and Alaol were patronised by Bengal sultanate. And they wrote in Bangla not Urdu.

It is true that there has always been some Urdu speaking people, And spoken Urdu is understood specially for the rich urban people. But Bengali is and has been there before Urdu.

Besied being bi/Tri lingual is nothing special. People who have English as the native language don't have to learn any other language. Learning Bangla and English is enough for us. Any more would put pressure where the effort can be directed in learning more fruitful things.

How the hell do we PM?



Correction: Interpretation is in Urdu.
Nastaleeq text is still Arabic.

I do not know. My friends studied quran in Urdu. That I know. Nobody learns Arabic here except perhaps some Maulvis.

Well Pakistan is a universal power. Comparing it with BD is not right. That's why we left because we could not keep up with you guys, you were so advanced. Now you guys are conquering the universe and progressing to Andromeda galaxy. So it's natural that 1970's undeveloped Pakistani cities are 1000 years ahead of BD's best cities today. And Pakistanis are so super rich that BD people is like beggar to them....last I checked Pakistani pm is begging money to give it to countries like BD...ne @Nilgiri?
We wuz arabz


I am afraid that's not possible.

And why will that be? I am sorry. But people assume (not you) being a Muslim, they know more than an Indian Muslim than an Indian.

I have seen Quranic texts and my friend used to have quranic classes on sunday to learn urdu to read quran by themselves. Not 1 but 2 of my friends.

And they are Urdu muslims. Local Muslims do not learn even Urdu (I mean Tamil Muslims or Kannada Muslims).

True, but it is very easy for Persian speakers to learn Urdu. And that was according to an Iranian guy I met in Islamabad.

We came out better in 1971. We reclaimed a lot of our heritage which we suppressed to appease others.

Today Pakistan ideology is strong, vibrant, dynamic, and progressive, thanks in large part to 1971. It was a blessing in disguise.

All the best to Bangladesh, they chose a different identity and future, but still our Muslim brothers and sisters.

So what’s the economy growth? Gdp of both now compare to before?And despite 24years of head start and the looting. Where is west pakistan now compared to former east pk?

Stats says. Former east pak have done the best thing ever to free from the dictators, from west pk. Otherwise today it would’ve been like balochistan - nothing .. btw God help those who are stuck in how former est pk (now BD) were stuck for 24 years.

..

Urdu was never their language, it’s borrowed from North or western India. But I’d still say its better than they had punjabj as national lingo.

yes it is and its apparently easy for Pakistanis to learn Persian, but i am finding it hard :)

Words in Turkish and Farsi are very similar to Urdu, but it is the accent which is totally different. I find when I read something and listen to these languages, I can use my Urdu/Arabic knowledge to understand it better.

So I don’t really care but back in the time when the man who ate pork drunk alcohol called Jinnah tried to force urdu upon bengalis of east pkistn. Majority of west pkistanis didnt even know urdu themselves :rofl: talk about haramism. Even today I bet more than half of their population doesnt know urdu.

Good, you entertained yourself and filled your mind with what you want to hear.

Our destiny is different now, and I am glad.

Assalam alaikum. :wave:

You don’t know what you are talking about.

In most of the former Persian influenced Islamic countries (Turkey, Iran, CAR, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Hindustan,) we use the Nastaleeq script for Arabic which is also the same script used by Urdu, Farsi, and Dari.

I will show you some examples.
