Urdu strawberry?
You meaning urdu fruit? Hai....English is not my firsht langooage, but I am trying to shpeek it. Pleeeze peeplan......don't thinks that I am the showing-off.
Urdu is the national/official of language of Pakistan. While other languages (such as Punjabi, Sindhi, Siraiki, Balochi, Pushto) are also spoken across the country........URDU is the common language that binds us together. Although English is the universal language........lack of education/exposure to English would make it difficult for all people to communicate with one another in Pak. But.....if everyone has learned Urdu........then no matter what province you come from in Pakistan (Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh, NFWP, ) you can still communicate with one another. I think it's kinda cool.
Another example. In the US, English is the official language. Regardless of other languages that are spoken (Spanish, Urdu, French, Arabic, etc).......English helps all people in the country communicate with one another. Now......Black people have their own style of English (Ebonics)...........people living in the northern states have a unique accent to their English........as do the people living in the South. In the end...............it's still English.
Snobbery? Maybe for some people it might be. I have pride in the fact that there are three languages running simultaneously in my home: Urdu, Punjabi, and English. And I feel pride in the fact that I can speak/understand all three of them. My mom took out the time to teach my brother and I how to speak and write urdu. The funny thing is that my parents have a punjabi accent to their urdu. My brother has a stronger accent than my parents. Whereas.......I don't have an accent to my urdu, I've been told. My sister says that my urdu sounds as though I'm from Karachi. Anyhow.........regardless of how it sounds......I have pride....in the fact that I can communicate in my native language. There shouldn't be a monopoly on language.
