Re: Mother tongue.
But in text books and literature both are used. I feel that no.1 is more poetic… as this Manzoor Sakheerani’s song is. Many people here heard it in Hum TV’s ‘Sachal and Sabrina’

Asalam o alaikum.
How much important is your first language to you? Will to Pass it to your kids?
Now a days I have seen so many people doesn't care about their own language and teaching their kids only English?
I understand English is an intentional language,but what is the reason you don't want to carry your first language?
Concept of mother tongue is only valid if generation after generations are living in the same region. Urdu could be my mother tongue, but go back 5 generations and I am sure my forefathers were speaking a totally different language (Sanskrit, Arabic, farsi etc). Same with our kids. I can force my kids to keep Urdu as their primary language, but what about their kids and kids after them?

TLK if we link our kids with our culture through language, may be, in return they also want their children to use the same language.
I do agree with your point of generation living in same region. If one or two generation lost link with the region, then its hard to stick to the language.
Re: Mother tongue.

Exactly.
There was a time, when it was believed that Urdu is being imposed on other communities and now even Urdu speaking people are kinda disowning it by not promoting that to their next generations. Why passion for language faded away in short time?

I don't know why but remember I contacted you for translation of some Punjabi poetry related to mothers.
I do agree that local languages should be promoted alongwith foreign languages. Lets ask why other people, why Punjabi is not taught is schools of Pakistan in a separate thread.
