Beards and Burqas may be a bad example, but there are a lot of people emulating what they think arabs are like, if not in dress then in speech. I dont think all of it is some sort of religious understanding, but a cultural adoption..just like people are anglophiles or francophiles, it is not impossible for people to be arabphile or saudiphile, in their dress (jubbahs and leather socks are one example) and language..(you do realize the khudahafiz which was used by a lot of ppl is not under siege by allah hafiz…why not just say fi Amaan Allah instead of twisting khudahafiz to make it allah hafiz)… you can also see it in pronunciations of words..people using very arabic pronunciation .. just see how a common person speaks the word “yaani” vs someone who attaches the full might of the guttural throat to do a “YeaAny”…

of course I have my fun with both the english mixers and the overly arabic ones because I then just switch to full english or arabic with them, and then they are lost because of a lack of command of either..and not that my arabic is fluent, but it is better than the ones peppering their speech with arabic pronunciations or the over use of subhanAllah, MashAllah, InshaAllah, again no issues with these words and I use them too, but there are those who have these as a fillers in every other sentence..and then there are those who not only use it in every other sentence but use a full on arab accent in middle of conversational urdu for those words.

I agree with the blue there.

And, I do see you point. If it is word or pronunciation to extreme, both means people are just trying to copy other.

Some people in Pakistan just like their majority rulers and army officials have no clue who they are and how the country was formed and what should make them as Pakistanis or what does it means to be Pakistani and what is not.

The issue is also with those good people who left Pakistan for one or other reson and I am not going to go in to that detail in this thread.
