One of them is Urdu I guess

This is dilact of Punjabi language not a different language.

lamo.............pothohari is dialect of panjabi and azad kashmiri have problem ........... seraiki is also dialect............................. panjabi as a provincial language will not devide panjab but dialect should be jatki or pothohari

as a pothohari we dont have any problem.......... bcs our language is 97% panjabi......... we are panjabi nationalist

Bro Seraiki and Potohari is dialect of Punjabi and it is 90% similar to Punjabi. And yet indian Punjab has more cultural and linguistic recognition outside and inside india and also they speak their language proudly but here no one from outside knows that Pakistan also has Punjab and Punjabi culture. *Punjabi padhao Punjabi bachao*

🟩If Punjab 'breaks' by adopting Punjabi, then be it. No matter if Punjab divides into 2 or 3 states, they are still a part of Pakistan and one country overall. What's important is to please do something for your languages. 🟥I'm not from Punjab, my opinion might offend you. I'm so sorry for that. I just want you guys to adopt your language so education and knowledge of all kind reaches down even to the hard working Punjabi farmer in a remote village, in his own language!

Hindko is dialect of Punjabi Language

Wish you best of luck with that!!! One has to keep their language alive.

Thank you​@@fjplanet1120

There is nothing in Quran as such, but since Urdu is close Arabic it was a good option for Pakistan. That's why many of Pakistanis can learn Arabic easily in Middle East and read it without even studying it as it is near to Urdu. No compulsion ! And even Pakistani Punjabi is written in Urdu so no difference .

Correction: Official language of Punjab inshallah. Full support from KPK. The future of Punjabi language is in the hands of Punjabi's themselves.

But will you write it gurumukhi or shahmukhi ??? And will Punjabi Muslim accept it as it has roots of Sikhism? And by the way these scripts are already at edge of dying script and has no literary background. It can be official language of Punjab but not Pakistan. Otherwise it will be discrimination with Sindhi, Balochi and Pushton.

@@fjplanet1120 Shahmuki is old script of Punjabi Language Baba Farid first poet of Punjabi Language He wrote in Shahmuki Script. Punjab history is 6000 Years and Sikhism is only 500 year check the fact than comment

@@hasanat3816 Thanks for Supporting Paaji ❤

@@PunjabiMunda313-d5 got it but Shahmukhi uses the script from Persian, I am just looking to understand it for knowledge sake, no offence. Because currently Pakistani Punjabi is written in Urdu so what's the difference? And the other question remains still unanswered what about Sindhi, Balochi and Pushto they have equal right too? So Punjabi with Shahmukhi can be Punjabs official language not entire Pakistan as I understand, shade your cents please!!!

lmao................ brtish empire k time panjabi 65% the west pakistan areas me..............aj 37% he................urdu speaking india se aye so unka record ziada he..........................panjabio ki population kam dikhayi jati he

Then what should be the official or national language of Pakistan? If not Urdu, we have Sindhi the oldest and with its own original script. Balochi, Pushto or Punjabi but they are written in Urdu or Persian as these language lack their own script. Or any other language, which was actually Urdu but if not Urdu then which?

@@fjplanet1120 Arabic, Turkish, Chinese - take your pick. After all. Pakistan has historic figures from other cultures as it's own. Ghori, Ghazni, et al. Urdu essentially is from the U. P., and M. P. regions of Bharat. If Pakistan has ditched everything of its Bharatiya ancestry, why not the Urdu language?

@@ratnakamal1 Urdu is just not a language it was part of Pakistan's Independence Movement i guess that suffice. Arabic, Turkish, Persian won't give Pakistan its true identity as they were not involved in Pakistan's Independence Movement so why to import a language and learn. Urdu is well spoken and understood by all Pakistanis why to make life difficult?

@@fjplanet1120 I hate to argue when we are having a reasonably civil debate. Pray in what way Urdu was involved in the Pakistani national movement, except Allama Iqbal? Jinnah was from Kutch and lived in the then Bombay. He was more comfortable with Queens English than Urdu. Also, the East Bengalis seemed to have different opinion.

@@ratnakamal1 hold on why are you freaking out like a kid? I prefer also constructive exchange of information no offense. Let me list you the mainstream founders from Urdu Speaking background: 1. Liaquat Ali Khan 2. Rana Liaquat Ali Khan 3. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan 4. Maulana Shaukat Ali 5. Mohammad Ali Jouhar 6. Khaliq-uz-Zaman Majority of independence movement members were Aligarh Alumni. The largest human migration in the world held during partition when Muslims of UP and Bihar migrated on the call of Quaid e Azam and all of them were Urdu speakers. I didn’t mention anything to trigger you, have guts to handle exchange of dialogue when you make a public comment!!!

السلام علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ۔ بھائی گو قائد اعظم کی زبان گجراتی تھی وہ اردو کم سمجھتے تھے اور انگریزی پر عبور تھا۔ لیکن وہ سچے مخلص مسلمان تھے۔ وہ جانتے تھے کہ پورے ہندوستان کے مسلمان اردو بولتے اور سمجھتے ہیں ۔ پنجاب میں تو اردو دو سو سال سے رائج تھی۔ پنجاب نے عظیم شاعر ۔ ادیب اور عالم پیدا کئے ۔ علامہ اقبال کی شاعری کا جواب نہیں وہ اردو شاعری کی جان ہے ۔ کیا ان کو کسی نے مجبور کیا تھا۔ ان کے سامنے اردو مادری زبان والے کیا بیچتے ہیں ۔ اردو کے فروغ میں پنجابیوں کا بہت بڑا حصہ ہے یہ ان کی بھی بمنزلہ مادری زبان ہے ۔ قائد اعظم نے یہ حقیقت جانتے ہو ئے انصاف سے کام لیا اور اس کو پاکستان کی قومی زبان قرار دیا اور تمام مسلمانوں نے لبیک کہا۔ پاکستان مسئلہ یہ نہیں ہے بلکہ ظلم ، نا انصافی اور قومی خزانے کی لوٹ مار ہے۔

The point that most of the people like you unable to understand is that , national language in not a language that many can speak either is that language that everybody can understand and urdu is understood by every single people who speak other language , if you are a Sindhi how you think you can communicate with a punjabi without Urdu ? en Enligsih ? really ? Every language is alreday an offical language in each province but the connection between provinces is URDU .

​@@ovaismohiuddin5753 Sorry Sir Your logic is only appreciated in Pakistan. If we buy your logic then all those African countries where French and English is understand more than their own mother tongue should adopt English and French as their official languages. Even the Far East countries such as Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Mongolia etc should also forget their own mother tongues and declared Chinese as their official languages because the mandarin Chinese is understood by the majority in those country. Secondly how come you assume that Urdu is the only language which is understood by majority of the people in Pakistan? Majority of Pashtun even today unable to understand and speak Urdu despite that fact the Govt spends billion of rupees on its promotion and patronage. Is it not our back luck that our own indigenous languages are ignored at the expense of promoting a foreign language Urdu. Did we stubbornly refused to appreciate the fact that we have gone through a trauma of splitting of this country because we heard to the logic of people like you. Let me refresh your mind that before August 14, 1947 Pakistan did not exist. It was these ethnicity (Punjabi, Bengali Pashtun Sindhi etc) who created this country and not the other way round.

@@mohammadayubkhan1921 You can have your opinion and i respect that, but sorry according to me your logic is flawed , we have to accept one language as a national language and it is very necceessary other wise every single person will force you to answer in thier language , if there is no national language then a Saraiki person will force you to answer in Saraiki even if you are a punjabi , not the other way around , so my question is , do you have a solution to this problem if we just cancel URDU as a national language ? no sir you do not have . so that is why Urdu has to be the national langauge , as a Punjabi i will never accept Pashto or Saraiki as a national language rather than Urdu and if we say we do not have any national language in Pakistan then i want you to talk to me in Punjabi not in Pashto , Saraiki or Sindhi , are you ready to accept that? that is why Urdu was the best option . by the way nobody forces you to talk in Urdu or watch urdu daramas or films you have your own culturel channels and music , whtach them , when you are in you city you talk in your language but of course if you go in other cities where you languaguge is not understood obviously you have to speak Urdu . It is not only you a lot of people do not like Urdu as National language and no bodycares specially the young generations , my children do not want to speak Punjabi they answer me eveything in Urdu even no body forces them to speak Urdu they select Urdu themselves and for me it is OK i never force my Langugage on my kids if they want to speak Urdu it is fine with me . It is you who cares about Partition , your language , ethenticity but new generation doesn't give a shit about that. one question, why are you writing in Enlgish and not in your mother tougue ? becausey you know nobody will understand or care , end of disscussion .

Hello Sir, We are not supposed to reinvent the wheel. We have around 200 countries in the world and majority of these have their own national languages. There are certain well established norms and rules which these countries have followed. First rule which language is spoken by the majority is always picked as the official language of that country. In France there are many people who speak Italian or Spanish but French is dominant thus French is the official language. So is the case of German Language in Germany, Turkish in Turkey, and Persian in Iran etc. We like or not but Punjabi is the mother tongue of majority of people in Pakistan. According to the 2017 census it is 38.4% of people who speak Punjabi. In Switzerland land they have three official languages, German (62%) French (22%) and Italian (8%). Remaining are smaller local languages or dialects. Now if we need to communicate between various communities, we can adopt English which will also us to communicate to the global audiences. Lastly the Pakistani Government was created by the british for their own strategic purpose. Those who fled India came to Pakistan and started ruling us in the name of Islamic brotherhood. They brought their own culture and language and they imposed it upon us. I have a complain about Punjabi politicians tacit approval for such a cultural subjugation. They (Punjabi) also do not care about their own identity but Pashtun and Baloch are very sensitive to the identity question. You also suggested to stop watching the TV (Urdu) drama. I never watch tv but that does not solve the problem. The state of Pakistan always discouraged the local languages and cultures and never invested a penny on its promotion. For you information our provincial assembly passed a bill and made Pashtu as a compulsory subject till the FA-FSc level but nothing happened so far. Just because those who come to power (in the province or federal level) are always vetted by the intelligence agencies and if anyone found sympathetic to the culture identity are never cleared for any state position. The tale is long but let me tell you that Pashtun are living the lives of economic and cultural slaves in this country. If the present trend was not changed, God Forbid we will be faced with even serious consequences than what happened in 1971. @@ovaismohiuddin5753

if a sindhi learns punjabi whats the problem then?

Punjabi is not the State language of Punjab. There's no primary education in Punjabi there. But that doesn't mean that an MNC cannot speak in Punjabi in the State Assembly. What foolishness is this!

Punjabi is not official language of Punjab province and thats the biggest problem as Pakistan did this to bengalis too.

Very well said. But I guess at provincial level they can make Sindhi, Punjabi, Pusto and Balochi as official language. But the problem is to qualify for provincial official language the language must fulfil both the criteria of speaking and writing and by far only sindhi qualifies that this is the reason sindhi is taught in every school in Sindh from 3rd grade. But Balochi, Pushto and Punjabi lack scripts as they are either written in Urdu or Persian so what is the difference not recognising Urdu as their provincial official language???

​@@fjplanet1120 No, but he was a mere human being and humans make mistakes. It is our duty of the new generation to correct past mistakes and decide what is better for us. May Allah grant Jinnah a lofty place in Jannah.

80% urdu is sanskrit

Salam alaikum, Urdu as a lingua franca se koi masla nai hai. Urdu sirf aour sirf lingya franca rehni chahiye na-k hum par musalat ki jaye. Musalat se meri murad hai: Maqami Pakistani bachon ko first 5 years of education unki madri zaban mein taleem di jaye na-k Urdu ya English mein. Kisi ki kamzor Urdu pe uski tazleel na ki jaye. Maqami zabano aour saqafat ko mehfooz kiya jaye.

It was even worst. Urdu is at least understood in Pakistan. We can't understand Arabic in the least

We are fine with our languages and we don't want to loose our Identity by adopting Arabic. Learning Arabic is good but adopting it and destroying your culture is against our identity

Punjabi zaban ki apni script hai, Gurmukhi. Isko asani se likha aur parha ja sakta hai. Balki Indian Punjab me parhai Punjabi me hi hoti hai.

Punjabi zaban leak ni sakta are you comedy me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@AbdullahKhawar262this is the height of helling hate against Urdu that you want English to be national language when even educated people can't speak it well and literacy rate in Pakistan is just 15 to 20 percent then you talked Persian the language which even 1 percent people in Pakistan can't understand it!
