What could be the reason for this?

I see some unknown posters here saying they cannot read Urdu and those may or may not be born in Pakistani family.

SOME of those still can read ‘Roman Urdu’,… one of the the most oxymoron word.

Urdu being the national language of Pakistan, the country has a lot of written material in Urdu. What are the reasons the offspring of a Pakistani would not be able to read Urdu?

P.S. I hardly go in to parenting and don’t think it is only about parenting. Wish it stays here in AV and we discuss this focusing even adults born to Pakistanis and still not able to read Urdu. Forget about even writing.

3- On same page 454, second paragraph, they are correct that speaking the language lasts longer than reading and writing.
