I wants yr views and comments Fariah Jamil.

Iqbals poem appeared in todays papers here.

i know people in Pakistan wants to learn the language of their forefathers.IS IT STILL EXIST THERE?

Urdu,Punjabi,Pakhtun,Baloach,Afgani and Sindhi are common languages in Pakistan.Whats about Hindi.

Now the people in Pakistan wants to connect themselves with their ancient history,which is most ancient and closer to India than any other country.

Reading Gandhi and Jinnah together is the way of life in intellectual Pakistan,which is more open now than before.

Hindi Films are so much popular then why not Hindi.

It should be the language of communication between all south asian countries.

I wants your comment on this Mr Ramesh Balam.Does Hindi and Devnagri still exist in Pakistan.I dont think there’s any Hindi newspaper or Hindi as a language in their Universities.

Thanks for your invitation. I shall search for the required informationm and let you know.

Thanks Sumera,for Yr comments,which i think now on right place.

To be honest, Hindi doesnt have a ’status’ as such in Pakistan on its own as a language, it is understood just as Urdu plus more sanskrit and minus more Arabic and Persian.

’Urdu’ is a Turkish word which means ’foreign’ or ’horde’. This just shows that the language represents it’s origin being an amalgamation of foreigners with the natives of South Asia. It was formulated by the interaction of foreign army, merchants and immigrants to India.

Today, it is the national language of Pakistan and is quite similar to the neighbouring country India’s national language Hindi. Infact, the grammar of Urdu is quite similar to Hindi. The forte of the language has been and still is it’s literature that has some master pieces.

Likewise, poets like Mirza Ghalib, Allama Iqbal, Faiz Ahmed Faiz have had a give and take relation with the language. Where they took the language as a bridge between their thoughts and their readers, they also gave the gems of their beautiful poetry to the language.

Because of their identical grammar and nearly identical core vocabularies, even most linguists do not distinguish between Hindi and Urdu as separate languages—at least not in reference to the informal spoken registers.

For them, ordinary informal Urdu and Hindi can be seen as variants of the same language (Hindustani) with the difference being that Urdu is supplemented with a Perso-Arabic vocabulary and Hindi a Sanskritic vocabulary.

Additionally, there is the convention of Urdu being written in Perso-Arabic script, and Hindi in Devanagari. The standard, ”proper” grammars of both languages are based on Khariboli grammar — the dialect of the Delhi region. So, with respect to grammar, the languages are mutually intelligible when spoken, and can be thought of as two written variants of the same language.


of course thats just the spoken hindi ’status’
