Would the creation of a new national language work for Pakistan?

Not every native Punjabi speaker can understand it. Especially Riyasti.

I am not talking about native punjabis who speak urdu now, rest of punjabis in rural can understand it. Which mean majority of punjabis.

By who sirjee? No problem with Seraiki suba if other subas are also broken down. Needs to be atleast 16 subas to dilute power of individuals.

Barely 10% speak seraiki dialect yet they demand more then half of punjab....

Including 2 districts in KPK.

Like I said in the previous post, there is a language Continuity on the (roughly) right side of the Indus river.

People from Kashmir speak Pahari language which is understood by people living next to them: Hazara

People from Hazara speak Hindko language which is understood by people living next to them: Pothohari

People of Pothohar speak Pothohari language which is understood by the people living next to them: Punjabis

People from (central) Punjab speak Punjabi language which is understood by the people living next to them: Siraikis

People from Siraiki area speak Siraiki language which is understood by people living next to them: Sindhi.

The same sequence can also run backwards from Sindh to Kashmir.

I think that the biggest geographic barrier making West Pakistan's languages slightly less intelligible is the River Indus, which must have been a mighty barrier in the past. But, even these languages are derived from Persian languages, the same languages from which Urdu gets most of its vocabulary.


My point is that, Urdu owes most of it's grammar and vocabulary from these languages and can be considered natural inheritor of these languages and this particular area. Hence, Urdu is the most appropriate language to be made as a National language.

I can't understand Sindhi, so Seraiki is end. Anyway i don't know how much living next to it make sense. I don't understand Kashmiri language, our area is very near it unlike South Punjab.

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.



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.

What's wrong with Urdu?

I would recommend you to read post number 55 - my original post - which tells that this understanding of a language from the adjacent geographic areas occur in the zone of fusion. Then at the heartland of a language, that intelligibility is gone.
