So lets make all pakistans languages national languages - but how does that come into practise?
We can state them on paper to be national languages but whats their role?
Look at Afghanistan - the majority speaks pashtu - somewhere between 38-70% depends on whichcourse you believe. I believe 50-65% is better. the remaning mostly speak persian. Other languages spoken balochi, uzbeki, turkmen, hazaragee - dialect of persian, kohistani.
Both pashtu and persian are both national and official languages BUT :-
most pashtuns can speak persian yet the persians cant speak pashtu as good
karzai or other important people address mixed crowds of people in persian over pashtu
where theres 50% persian speakers and 50% pashtu speakers - persian is the language which bridges the ethnic groups.
most tv media outoput is in persian
the elite speak persian
in afghanistan pashtu is a paper official language and in practise its just a regional language.
how would languages such as chitrali, shina, wakhi, brohi expressthemselves as national languages?
