Why do Urdu speaking people pronounce English words starting with letter "S" as "IS"?

[Mr.Cringeworth]

It's not slang word. Punjabis prounounce police as pulas and puls. Sipahi as shipahi sarak as charak etc

What that might be a southern thing i have never heard anyone say charak or shipahi.

Park as Parak

Gosht as goshat or goshut. Doodh as dudh. Jana as janra or janwran. Khana as khanran or khawanran. Bolna as bolanran. Seekhna as sikhnran. Dhona as dhowanran.
Basti as wasti. Truck as taruck

I have noticed this trend among the Urdu speaking anchors, news casters on Pakistani TV. They tend to pronounce English words starting with letter "S" as "IS". They seem to convert "S" sound in the beginning of the English words into ("I"+"S") sound. For example they pronounce School as "Ischool", Smart as "Ismart", Spoil as "Ispoil".

Why do people with Urdu speaking background tend to mispronounce these English words starting with letter "S". I have noticed that hindi speaking people of India also seem to make the same mispronunciation of English words starting with letter "S" and they too convert "S" sound into ("I"+"S") sound. What is the reason behind this mispronunciation, can any urdu or hindi speaking background person explain it for me?

it also on another funny note my Punjabi friends pronounce it S as SI for eg SIPRITE instead of Sprite

another funny Urdu speaking pronouciation is calling the city Kiranchi instead of Karachi

Depends on education level also. Hindi speakers in India also speak like that but only the uneducated ones. I am sure educated Urdu speakers in Pakistan wont make that mistake either.

Btw, I have heard Pakistani Punjabis fu$k up pronunciations too.

How indian people can't differentiate bw "Z" and "J" sounds. Also they mix up "ph" and "f" sounds

Yes. Again it's mostly a question of education though.

Only sialkotis do that. Don't drag in the whole of punjab. and to expect us to be perfectly aware of its accent is ridiculous as it's not our mother tongue

Idiot paakis instead of excelling at science by whatever way and accent possible they're stuck with the "awesomeness" of the lingo itself. Dumb nuts it's just a tool to learn science not to degrade your countrymen over their English accents

Biscuit as Biskut

When in my friends circle I personally call it bayskut. So what?

What that might be a southern thing i have never heard anyone say charak or shipahi.

There is also a difference of pronunciation between rural and urban areas.
