Re: Pakistani Pronunciations

Instead of just mocking Pakistani pronunciation, why don’t you provide the correct form and teach people how to use it …

It’s indeed very easy and effortless to pick a mistake then debug it …

Re: Pakistani Pronunciations

I am not getting angry or chafed brother , not at all ..

It’s good to laugh on yourselves , giggle on your mistakes…. But aint we , as a nation , doing it for long now …

My point was , why cant , we be a wee bit positive and take our people out of that inferiority complex , they are in from centuries…

On any given day , a native English speaker , cant pronounce a single urdu/Persian word right …

Smirking on people’s mistakes doesn’t give them courage to fix / improve their erratum.

There are enough people out there who belittle us, for us not to strike at ourselves.

Re: Pakistani Pronunciations

Pakistanis as a community care way more than anyone else about the command and pronunciation of the english language, especially by fellow desis, than we ever should. I'm not referring particularly to this thread, but this is a trend i have noticed in general. Even white people don't care about how you say the words as long as you are able to convey your point.
