Re: Regrets for Mother Tongue
munh teRha karna is really an inferiority complex, specially when someone does this with people who are not alien to your language. I mean to say, two persons doing this (when their mother tongue is say Urdu)
Languages like English got accents. An American doesn’t try to imitate British accent while talking to a Britisher. I’ve heard many people from far east region (Hong Kong, Malaysia, etc) during official telecons.. No one tries to imitate any accent except us Pakistanis.
Even we still follow British style of writing in our communication. One of the lady from Pakistan (who was on secondment in Hong Kong) requested me to write her in American style (short sentences) instead of going long and formal sentences followed by British people.
