Is urdu dying as a language? It is the official language of only one country -Pakistan. Although, according to the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan, Urdu was to become the state language (i.e. used in offices)besides the national language.

Important piece of information:k: Pakistan’s official language is english, although most of the population cant understand it.

On the very important medium - internet, even while conversing we use English and that too in Roman English. Is that good? Does that mean that after a few years we might abolish the Arabic/Persian alphabet of Urdu with English? What is your opinion on this?

Very valid concerns… If god forbid this arabic text gets abolished then it will be the end. it is next to impossible to read long urdu text in roman english
