What makes you say this? How do “foreign looks” go first?

Big moustahe, pagRi, dhoti, shalwar, pajama, sari, gharara, bindiya, hairstyle, hair color, large sized jewelry etc. etc.

You can add sarson ka tel, chambeli ka tel, surma and kaajal to it.

Foreign looks is combination of many outward items.

Desi foreigners lose these looks, before they lose their languages.

^It’s very much wrong regardless. **Cooking/food is the last thing to go **and probably survives the generations the best.

I meant dietary discretion, eating habits etc.

Eating “jhatka” versus halal/zabiha goes long before one loses the language.

Some people start eating Non halal diet as soon as they set foot on the plane to other country.

Even hardcore Hindus start eating beef or any meat when they land on a foreign country long before they lose their respective languages.

Hmmm not in my case. I look like a desi (last time I checked my skin color was still brown), dress like a desi (love Pakistani fashion), have my natural desi hair, my husband has a dari and we eat like desis. Actually we eat like Muslims, Zabiha halal. However, we do not speak Urdu with each other. Oh and yes I wear kajal. Buy it specially from Pakistani stores here. My Nihari is killer, learned it from my dad whose an awesome cook.

There you go mixing culture and religion. Eating jhatka or halal has nothing to do with speaking Urdu. Halal/haram is not only reserved for Pakistanis.
