PM, president to deliver speeches in Urdu on foreign trips, SC told

[coffee_cup]

yet another example of stone age tribal thinking.

Sorry to see.



Beleive me,

I love to speak urdu (Lkhanavi style) among Urdu speaking friends.

But with Sindhis, I'd use as much Sindhi even tooti phooti.

With Punjabis I'd use Punjabi even tooti phooti

When traveling through different countries,

my first sentence is always local (French, Arabic etc. ) depending on where I am
then switch to English.

.

You are mixing up a lot of things.

Learning foreign languages should be appreciated, but when it comes to official dealings and teaching in schools, it should always be done in the national language. It has been proven world wide, that kids learn in their native/national languages much faster than in a foreign language - say English.

There is a reason why Germany, France, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Lativa, Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, South Korea, China, Russia, Japan, Vietnam, Argentina, Brazil etc etc etc... teach in their native languages and also when on official tours speak only their national language.

But that does not stop you from learning foreign languages. On the contrary, learning every new languages opens a new world for you. Learn it for fun, for interaction with people but not as a status symbol as is unfortunately the case with English.

Argentina, Brazil

Do they use "local" language and for how long? 100 years 200 years 1000 years?

We should have a policy of using both English and Urdu as needed. Yes there should be use of urdu in symbolic roles such as in speeches by the UN, but English should be used in Parliment on matters of budget, etc.
Most if not all our higher education is in English, and economic terms etc should be discussed in English. There is not even a need to make these principles as there should be a grip on both languages by members of parliament as well as our head of state. Guess a supreme court judge finally saw that clip of our parliamentarians speaking in Urdu.

Ok lets say I accept your argument about Argenitna and Brazil. Their native people (native Indians?) did not have a developed language and majority of their population today consists of colonial people or a mix that of, but my argument still stands for all those dozens of countries around the world.

Our language Urdu is one of the most developed languages in every literal sense so why not promote it instead of killing it slowly?

 

[Yousafzai_M]

And you say it in English

Oh what an irony.

Hmm because I am not able to type Urdu, not an Einstein like you are.

 

[Patriots]

And you say it in English

He is saying about his own language ... English is not our language ... This is just for to communicating with others ......

 

[SHAMK9]

If you have ''to'' then replace it with Arabic!

Go away dude, seriously

pathetic backward tribal thinking.


Foreign trips and speeches should be in the most convenient language for the hosts.

Preferably local language
if not then English.

Example

If PM is in Norway, he must used local language to connect to local people.
If however he is not comfortable with that, he should use English.


A language closet to the local people makes us better connect with them.


And why to forget that Pakistan is blessed with expertise in English rivaled only by a handful of regions around the world.

Other people look at us in awe when we can easily switch between English and Urdu and possibly a third language (like Punjabi, Pushto, Sindhi or Balochi).

This type of strength should be encouraged in today's global village.

Instead some of us want to drag us back to 1900 AD.


pathetic.

Bhai sb if we talk about implmention of Urdu as national language ... We become pathetic backward people ... Didn't you see how did Israelis revive Hebrew which was eliminated from whole world ... Actually pathetic is you by your mentality ... Sorry no offence ...........

Nawaz sharif can't speak English well. He is used to deliver speech from a written page.
This law is made for our PM. He was becoming embarrassment to nation.

He would still need a parchi as he is not capable of giving a speach

Those arguing should make a note which everyone knows URDU is not native to any province of Pakistan . Agar language import karke impose karni ho toh wahi karo jiski global level pe relevance ho .

Urdu was contacting lingo before partition ... And now it is national language as per Quaid's wish and according to our constitution too ... So keep away your self to trolling this thread ... This is bad habit of Indians always try to ruin Pakistan related threads ......
