| Urdu and Arabic are fastest growing languages in US according to CIS |
English phobia is the most common disease in Pakistan spreading at highest ratio in Pakistan in current decade and patients consider themselves some supernatural creature or out of this worlds because they consider themselves superior than normal Human beings speak Urdu (National language of Pakistan) but ironically Americans are also suffering from a language phobia other than English and guess what??
With other languages they are going through Urdu and Arabic phobia :)
Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) revealed in its survey report that Urdu and Arabic are the fastest growing languages in America which are spoken at home by Americans (both natives and immigrants). 20% Americans that means 61.8 million residents don't speak English.
After reading the news story I was thinking that why Pakistanis always take up 2nd hand things, even language fashion. When their own language is trending in US they are happy by adopting old fashioned language (English).
No doubt internet world is still open completely for those who can understand English, but I am concerned about those, who speak English where its not needed.
People use to speak it in-front of those who can't understand it well and be impressed by the speaker (I think if they'll talk in Urdu, people will not only be impressed by them but also will love them)
People use to speak it to show off that they are educated (and I think that speaking in Urdu with logic and information can also prove that you are educated)
People use to speak it to address national issues like parliamentarian even though they don't speak English well but they do speak some written words which sometimes they themselves don't understand and fumble a lot in uttering those given words (and I think addressing in Urdu (national language) can have much more effect and easily understood by nation)
People use to speak it to be in list of moderns (and I think Urdu is modern than English, because according to dictionary modern means present day things or newer things, well English is originated in 5th century AD and Urdu is far newer than that as it is originated after Muslims arrival in India)
All the formal speeches (including parliament, senate, oath taking ceremonies, business groups, educations institutes, media, judiciary) in Pakistan are delivered in English although our national language is Urdu (I think formal addresses should strictly be in Urdu)
By the way reader can object that writer of an English blog is supporting Urdu and criticizing English speakers but I will say English speakers also don't want to read something in Urdu (I think that reading only English material also a part of adopting English fashion, and making them know something is not easy in Urdu medium so I chose English for that.) or I'll say inferiority complex is going beyond limits.
Yes, its inferiority complex in people generated by world think tanks in commons and VIPs of our nation, that's the reason they don't trust themselves and waste all their potential, time, energy and talent in learning and speaking English. By spending whole their lives in this task they think that they succeed, but they should know one thing that foreign language stops the thinking process (a person thinks in his mother tongue), and if they think that they succeed they are wrong, they are not able to think because they have thrown away the tool of thinking.
Think, and be more modern and fashionable, speak Urdu and promote it :)
