Urdu is going to be end by
the use of English words
Today the English language is considered to be the very standard language to talk because we think that by using English words over available Urdu words we look to be educated enough but this is just a mindset of our minds to become over smart by using more English vocabulary more than Urdu because due to, that this is an international language may be. Well, Urdu, a South Asian language spoken by anywhere between 100 — 125 million people in Pakistan and India, and one of Pakistan’s two official languages. Urdu is traditionally written in a Perso-Arabic script called Nastalik and the other one is naqash . Needless to say, the language is in a crisis. Specifically, it is the lack of interest in its preservation which is disturbing. People want to connect with the people in their ease. May be that’s why the Pakistani writers use English words more in their writing, want to be make theirs writings more attractive as compared to pure Urdu words. in our daily lives.
We see a copious blending of Urdu and English with phrases like
“shandar offer”
“aur haasil kijiye amazing discounts”
“fun ko on karo”
“raho connected everyday”.
By reading these logo’s name invariably,
someone would get frustrated and burst out along these lines: “Urdu is such a
limited language” (this said in English of course), purely because they did not
have an inkling of how Urdu worked. Being the part of today generation that
actively helped blur the distinction between Urdu and English in Pakistan. Only
30% people want Urdu back to its national position but our government do
nothing for it and according to me these issues should solve at government level
at least but as a result of all the lack of effort towards helping it
grow, Urdu's progress has stagnated. Now we are at the mercy of whoever decides
to write whatever they like in the language and subject the public to read it.
We are coming dangerously close to “illiteracy” in our own national language.
But apart from lamenting its decline, there is, perhaps, nothing much we can do
with educational authorities like ours.
Best to move on
then, for as a scholar once said, “Milk agar spill ho Jaye to crying karnay se kuch gain nahi
hota”.
