Many people discussed whether Urdu should be replaced with Persian or Arabic etc.
Because to be honest Urdu has nothing to do with Pakistan and the British made Urdu to the national language of Pakistan since occupation before occupation it was Persian.
Still today Urdu remains national language and English official language of Pakistan. And our mother tongues (Pashto, Punjabi, Sindhi, Balochi and Kashmiri [languages spoken in Kashmir region]) are only regional languages.

Making our mother tongues to national languages of Pakistan is the right direction in my opinion and necessary.
But Pakistan being a multi ethnic state also needs a unity language like Urdu today.
Replacing Urdu with Arabic or Persian brings its benifits but it is also not our languages to be honest.

So what if we create a new national language and it replaces Urdu.

One example would be:

Grammar: Balochi (for example)
Vocabulary: Punjabi (20%), Pashto (20%), Sindhi (20%), Balochi (20%) and Kashmiri/Koshur (20%) = 100%
Name of the language: Pakistani (P=Punjab, A= Afghania, K= Kashmir, S= Sindh, TAN= Balochistan)


I know it is not realistic. It is more realistic if Persian or Arabic replaces Urdu.
But what do you think?

Bring back the Mughal Empire in Pakistan, bring back Persian. :yahoo::yahoo:

No thanks. No need for more mongol empires.
Pakistan was occupied by three mongol empires (Ghengiz Khan, Timurids and the Mughals).
And Mughals ruled only mainly in eastern Pakistan (especially Lahore), elsewhere they were not present.
They have more to do with your country.

I want to know what will you do to Urdu.

Urdu speakers can of cource continue to speak their mother tongue. But they would have to learn the new secondary language.
Like all Pashtuns, Balochis, Sindhis, Punjabis and Kashmiris etc. learn Urdu as secondary today.

Languages are not created. They evolve from existing languages, over long periods of time. After a few decades of economic progress, and you'll see that people will adopt Urdu and English all over Pakistan. This is already happening slowly in big cities. Regional languages like Punjabi, Pushto, Sindhi etc will die out eventually.

The way Bollywood culture is coming to Pakistan...She needs another language to associate herself with the people of common religion. Arabic and Farsi.

Plus it will help greater economic and regional ties between the brotherly nations. Minus kinks and corrupt motherlands.

P.S.

Many people discussed whether Urdu should be replaced with Persian or Arabic etc.

Many people here on this forum? Or did you see people discussing it in mainstream media or acadamia? I never came across anyone talking about it, except for some crazy Muslim-ummah-will-rise-again kind of folk.

Thats very unfortunate and should be stopped. We Pakistanis are Pashtuns, Punjabis, Sindhis, Balochis, Kashmiris etc. They are our languages and our identity.
I agree languages are not that easily created.
But people want to get rid of foreign words in their languages all the time.
For example Spanish after Reconquista (recapturing Spain from the arabs). Spanish was way heavier influenced by arabic than today. And they got rid of most of the words.
So languages can be manipulated and of cource be replaced.
Urdu in Pakistan is only secondary language and is of course easy to replace.
But the question is which language what be the best?
