I might be wrong, but it seems to me that U.K based desis seem more in touch and proud of their heritage where as American based desis aren’t to such an extent…Which makes me think that there’s a much better chance of Eastern culture and languages prevailing within the next generation of European rather than American desis.

I think thats correct. UK desis had their confusions sorted, they have developed a niche in british culture and unique as british asians and i dont see them changing too much further. slight change always happen in history of cultures.
many still speak urdu, punjabi, pushto, sindhi etc, or atleast understand it well.

other thing is in uk schools u get a chance to opt to study Urdu language too.
if we emphasise to speak own language at home, they will learn to speak english anyway. in that way they will speak both confidently, and thats the way ahead.
