farsi turkish etc I can understand being in the mix. how can arabic have gotten into Pakistan? is there really any population in Pakistan that speaks arabic as mother tounge? I don't thinks so
Nobody in Pak speaks Turkish either and Farsi is spoken by a very very small minority, I have some Farsi speaking relatives through marriage but the younger generation have lost it.
Arabic shouldn't be classed as a national language but it should be given constitutional/official language status in Pakistan and used as a language of inter-provincial communication because Pakistan was created in the name of our religion and Arabic is the language of our religion.
As a Pashtun-Punjabi hybrid Pakistani Urdu is a bad choice for my national language because it has nothing to do with my ethnicity or my religion.
Urdu shouldn't be the only national language, Punjabi, Pashto etc. should also be made national languages and one constitutional language Arabic.
