Assalaamu alaikum,

I don't see a reason why Urdu which does not represent all of Pakistan should be given the national language status. I have read that this was a mistake and opportunity lost by making urdu the national language when Pakistan was founded. Isn't it time to shift to Arabic? And which do you think is the most purest dialect of Arabic today?

Most people cannot even read and write in proper urdu how are they going to read and write in fasih arabic?
