With GS attracting so much non-urdu/pakistani audiences in recent years, i think it would be wise to consider renaming some of the forum names that are in urdu at the moment, especially these ones:
Khel Khilari should be made Sports. I know there is a description on the main page and all but people hardly read that. Also the quicky should be changed from Khl to Sports or something along those lines.
**
Shor Sharaba** to something english.
I was going to say **Cricketnama **to **Cricket **but i guess we already have the word cricket in cricketnama.

I dont have anything against urdu. Just trying to standardize things a bit.

All parent forums are in named English except Shor Sharaba and Khel Khilari. And one more thing, sub-forums for Poetry are in Urdu.
I dont see how standardization disrupts the ehtinic flava or flair whatever you call it.
This is the age where new words are being created on a daily basis and making their way into Oxford's and Webster's dictionaries. Words such as, 'You can google it on the internet' to 'yade yade yada' etc. are all recent additions. Why can't we have our own words here on GS? As long as the majority gets it and the minority understands it.
sac hai, main gori hoon, lekin main urdu sikh rahi hoon, tau main bahut khush hoon jab main urdu gupshup par sikhti hoon:)
aur urdu sabse shamandar zabaan hai :love:
I feel these names give ethnic flavour to the forums and I am in favour of retaining them. I am sure non desi people joining this board soon become familiar with these terms. Thanks for your suggestion.
