Because I only speak English. I was born in the UK, and spent all my life there up until 4 years ago.

Nothing wrong with communicating in any language as long as you are articulate in any language and have good stuff to say.

In Pakistan - English is only spoken by few folks so the difference looks great but in most of international nations , people speak many languages easily

I am talking about whatsapp wali Gulabi English means we / Pakistani started to replace many Urdu words while speaking Urdu and Punjabi which not only looks / sound bad but also polluted our native languages.

No I mean I left the UK 4 years ago. I still can't speak Urdu.
OK got it.

languages mix all the time.. urdu itself borrows heavily from other languages.. just like English...

English borrows a lot of words from subcontinent.. does it mean death of English? people are not forced to use English words in daily conversation, they do it on their own.. may be urdu will take few English words and make it her own... it will still be called urdu..

Unfortunately , mixing and integration of languages is a process that happens across history a language is never pure. Naturally , slang and regional influence change the structure of vocabulary of language, until a point when it becomes obsolete

English is a Dominant international language , Urdu / Punjabi, Sindhi / Balouchi/ Pashtoon language it is only relevant when , people attending school's the % is low. As literacy would increase and school population would rise , the need for regional languages would deminish in favor of English

Unlike Japan where all banking machines, computer language etc , all technical stuff is written in Japanese text , we are more susceptible to change becasue all our technical jobs need English

If our Internal Economy was strong to sustain growth 100% locally & job creations 100% locally then we would be able to maintain control on language use for business and need for it

But we depend on income from outside Pakistan, and English is a international language for Business, so it is only common that people associate more with "phrases" in english mixed with Urdu or other regional languages

There are many programs running across the glob to save many native languages to save the history and culture associated with
Eg.
there are many words and saying only Punjabi language can own you can't simply translate them in any other language with the true feelings and meaning (hidden) attached to it.
We can't simply ignore our language just because Duniya is going to so called global village.

I have a sincere suggestion.

Devote more time and energy to saving your endangered language. Spend less time writing posts in English, which does not need your support. Spend that time on your own language.

Goodbye.

Don't promote your language here. Do it elsewhere. Here, you are supposed to write in English. Ask the Mods. And if you have to write your own language in Roman script, get the nuances correct: jaye gi, for instance, not jaye ghi. Ghi, for your information, is clarified butter.

Now, for the second time, go home. If you can't write English, you don't belong here.
