Knowing Multiple Languages!

**

No-one knows Albert Einstein’s last words, because his attendant nurse did not speak German.

“ Last week Professor Einstein trudged no more in the grounds of his beloved institute. A lingering gall-bladder infection sent him to the hospital. Blood began to escape from his aorta, the main artery. Shortly after midnight he muttered a few sentences in German. The night nurse could not understand, and the last words of the modern world’s greatest scientist were lost. At 1:15 a.m. Albert Einstein, 76, died in his sleep.” (2 May 1955 issue of Time magazine)**

So, this tells knowing different languages matters a lot?

Re: Knowing Multiple Languages!

The pashto spoken in Pakistan has some sort of influence of Urdu I believe and on the other side influence of Persian/Dari. Secondly the Pashto in Pakistan also has different accents, its more hard in the North and becomes softer in the South (Balochistan). Kind of like Punjabi, the transition from North (PahaRi) to the South (Seraiki). Seraiki is much sweeter (it is a language in its own right but has similarities to Punjabi and Sindhi).

Re: Knowing Multiple Languages!

Never head of Shina. I think people are quite racist and feel down when it comes to their languages in Pakistan. Image, if i go shopping in liberty Lahore, i might prefer speaking in Urdu rather Saraiki language . Whereas , I don’t mind speaking Saraiki language at Harrods in London. People look down at you when you speak mother tongue outside, school uni etc, they prefer speaking the national language URDU.

You know English too, so you know 4 languages! lol

The hardest language of Pakistan, all i understand dgha dgha in Pashtu. :hehe:

Re: Knowing Multiple Languages!

Inferiority complex and nothing else

I sometimes get that from people. "Why aren't you talking in Urdu or Hindi?!" My problem is I know two languages WELL. English and Punjabi. Everything else I kinda know. So when I speak Spanish, it sounds like English. When I speak Hindi or Urdu, it sounds like Punjabi. So in my case, people are more like "Oh this guy is a hopeless pendu who doesn't know Urdu, I'll just talk English with him"

Re: Knowing Multiple Languages!

Shina is spoken in Gilgit/Baltistan. As far as speaking Seraiki in Lahore is concerned, its not only Seraiki even Punjabi is looked down upon. Its considered to be a sign of a "paindu". Anyways speak the language if you want to, I had many colleagues from Seraiki areas and they used to speak in the language no issues.
