Yeah! perhaps you shoud say the same thing for the GCC countires where arab kids are finding it tough to speak good arabic. i remember reading an article in the natiaonal where there is a disscussion english replacing Arabic due the norm. Perhaps those who lecutre us about arabic should lecutre the arabs. Pakistanis tried to impose urudo in Bengle and see the result. Perhaps you should take lesson from recent history insteading of dwelling in the land of utopia.
Allahualam

Who doesn't lament the fact that the "Arabs" now do not speak proper Arabic? Why this offense at the suggestion of Arabic, the language of the Quran, the Rasul (peace be upon him), and Jannah, as the the lingua franca of Pakistan instead of Urdu, when Urdu is the native/first language of very few Pakistanis and was even less so when it was chosen as the national language of Pakistan?

o,ya..Is this obligatory?..does Islam say so?

i don't understand why people always try to pick on this beautiful urdu speaking country.
i wish they know the sweetness of Urdu.. those who don't know urdu i feel sorry for them..

With all due respect sister, I think that those who know Arabic feel sorry for those who don't know it's sweetness which has been attested to by the Rasul (peace be upon him). Furthermore, Pakistan is often focused upon because it has a national language that is the first or native language of a very small percentage of its population and, as such, it would be easier (though still very hard) to make a transition to real, proper, beautiful Arabic there than in many other countries.

In fact, for most of the very same reasons that Urdu was chosen as the language of the country, Arabic would have been a better choice.
