Good topic to discuss. :k:
English has been made the official language of Pakistan and Urdu is the national language.
More than 95% of Pakistani’s in Pakistan can speak/ understand Urdu but according to data it is said only 8% has Urdu as its mother tongue e.g. 44% of Pakistani’s have Punjabi as their first langauge, 14% have Pashto as their first langauge etc.
This is because of all the different provinces and the many languages that are spoken in the country e.g. Pashto, Sindhi, Punjabi, Brahui, Saraiki, Balochi, Burushaski (spoken in Hunza), Shina (spoken in Gilgit District), Khowar (spoken in Chitral) and many more..
