@diwana

From average person to a celebrity (Singer, Actor, whatever) to politician and army general etc.

Why can’t they just talk straight for more than 30 seconds… in their OWN National Language?

I can see using very few words of English once in a while in conversation but why do they have to say whole sentence in English switching all of a sudden from Urdu?

As a side question:** Why** do they feel ashamed of wearing their own clothing or attire? (And that includes representatives from Pakistan and politicians, even foreign ministers etc.)

Do they think its** cool** to talk in English or act like Englishman from Scotland, England no matter how much they fail to copy… and they will be respected more if they speak eloquent English even when they are living and breathing in Pakistan?

so isn’t it a remarkable thing that people in Pakistan( avg person to celebrity) have learned the foreign language so well?
also you will only find this trend in urban cities otherwise in rural areas where about 70% of the population lives, regional languages are spoken the most. so the people in rural Pakistan feels comfortable with the regional languages and people in Urban Pakistan with English language or rather with Minglish. and absolutely nothing wrong with any of it.
