Why Punjabi in Pakistan considered inferior to Urdu

Every language in Pakistan is considered inferior to urdu. And then Urdu is considered inferior to English. This is nt something alien, in India same case.

Hi,

That is why the punjabi have progressed more than others because they have not allowed the language to hinder their progress---.

Language is a conduit to success---. Punjabis will learn the language that will lead them to success---urdu---english---chinese etc etc etc---Italian---spanish---Japanese---german---you name the language and the punjabi will learn it to make himself better---and so would the urdu speakers as well.

Missing out the urdu speaker was not intentional---.

Language is just a conduit to express and understand and communicate---.

I have a simple reason to not speak my regional language(wont name it)..
I dont see prospects in it.
I would rather learn and retain a language that would help me with a career or help me earn good.

That translates into , " punjabi bol pen di siri....ghauri aya"

They are burning India already. What would Ghauri do

Imagine if lingo-fascists start bringing down sign boards in a "foreign language".
I did a thread on second language for Pakistan poll..Most people voted for English and Arabic, no single regional language got votes so we are safe..

Only desi goras consider it inferior otherwise i see common people speak more punabi than urdu. Compared to urdu Punjabi is a rough language couple that with complex of DESI GORAS who consider it language of lower income people.

I am willing to put up any sign boards in any language if it takes them to follow law and order.

This is the only case in the world where language is being 'threatened' by its own native speakers.

Just because CM speaks Seraiki, people cannot digest it.

Pakistan should cherish it’s regional languages but Urdu should be the official language for everything.

Don't start this type of useless thread.
This guy hanif looks how passionately he talks about punjabi. While he and his family women, nimra and sana bucha almost never speak punjabi.
This problem doesn't exist in Pakistan where majority speaks punjabi. Just people can switch very comfortably according to who is speaking in what langauge.
Punjabi is usually spoken among family, friends, while urdu officially.
Don't start this useless debate.
Enough with nationalism.
Now whole of kpk and balochistan and Sindh also speaks urdu.. 10 years earlier kpk women don't know urdu, now everyone speaks urdu as second language so is balochi people. Gb people always speak very fine urdu. Karachi people don't speak urdu that clearly.
It is a langauge that unites.
A cause not to fight but to celebrate.

Punjabi is an outdated medieval language in terms of science and education. Punjabi speakers use words in English while speaking Punjabi because there is no modern day equivalent. Even Urdu is irrelevant and this coming from someone who strictly speaks Punjabi and English.

Urdu is the NATIONAL language of Pakistan and we all should be proud of Urdu. Further, it is a graceful and poetic language which is neither coarse, rough or inherently vulgar. All Pakistanis should unite under a common language and a common Pakistan instead of being ethnic, especially based on the pointless attachment to regional languages.

Beyond Urdu, our 2nd and 3rd language should be English and Arabic.

Urdu is a military purpose language. A language of administration.

For a security state like Pakistan. Jinnah chose Urdu for its efficiency not for its eve teasing capabilities.
