Thread: Urdu Language Destroying Pakistan! - Page 10 - GupShup Forums

My question remains un-answered. Secondly Urdu is a lashkari zubaan. It has many words of other languages. So technically speaking, Pakistan is an urdu word. As persian words adopted by urdu don't make urdu a persian language/

^ You are correct but the words are Persian.

A couple of facts first: -Urdu being an Indo-European language, is technicly not native to Pakistan. Linguistis, anthropologists seem to have pinpointed the location of the first proto-Indo-European languages in the area between the black sea and the baltaic region. Most likely location is southenr Ukraine as evidence shows. No one knows what language was spoken in Pakistan/Indus valley before the Indo-European invasions of the 17-15...

Punjabi language has a script called Gurmukhi which is used by sikhs in Punjab on the indian side of the border while in pakistan urdu is used as the script for punjabi. i think if u speak the language u must learn the script coz phoenetics will never match another language. i hope i made my point across. urdu zabaan shiiriiN zabaan hatta k Bollywood couldn't get rid of it and also the Govt of india.

this is too depressing. i cant believe there are such hateful pakistanis who even think like this. way to go!! with this waste mentality pakistan is going VERY FAR!!

ye hamari har baat maiN politics kahaN se aa jati hai?
