Urdu language is enriched with arabic,persian and hindi words. In lingusitc studies it is noted that language is very much so influenced by the mingling of different cultures through time. It is a process that takes time and in result enrich a language. But the type of influence we are talking in this topic is not related to the process of the development of a language. it is a mental fixation created by over exposure to an other culture and neglecting our own.
