Our language deserves same kind of attitude from us. When we'll learn this one thing, no matter how many language of the world we learn urdu will alwayz be something we'll be proud of cuz that is our identity.

This is one of the reason that they stand tall amid the financial turmoil which has engulfed west these days. One more point to be noted, every sixth person in this world is a chinese, they got huge consumer markets all over the world - where ever they have chinese population.

In few years time Patients would be replaced by something in Chinese!!!! The reason china is successful is not because of the language but because they adopted their language and are proud of it. WHEN ARE WE ADOPTING URDU? Look at the post before this one .. In few years time Patients would be replaced by something in Chinese!!!!

The reason china is successful is not because of the language but because they adopted their language and are proud of it. WHEN ARE WE ADOPTING URDU?

I have also seriously thought to send my kids to Chinese schools so that they could learn Chinese. China is a huge market and can't be ignored. Just wait for 20 years. I believe it is a good step.

The basic education should be at least in the national languages so that the kids don't feel panicked. Its so sad people speaking English at home just ensuring that their kids are having better English accent. We never spoke in English despite studying in the best institutions. The same goes for my kids also. If you see history, countries who have excelled, have all their education in their own language. Lets pray that our national language is implemented in offices as required under the constitution.

One can learn different languages but not at the expense of local language. That is not globalization. Moreover I would rather prefer to travel and spend time with my Chinese friends and learn about their way of thinking without discarding my own. I had been to China thrice and found the young generation to be more “business oriented”. SHEESHAY – BACHISTAN-CHINA PHANGYOOO! ZAIXEN (thank you, Pakistan-China are friends- bye now) @raheel, I agree with you on this one since the Chinese are more and more going towards English – I personally think language is not a barrier anymore.

Thats the closest market to Pakistani goods. Last time Pakistani exports were soaring in form of Textiles they imposed quota system and our whole textile/garment industry turned into scrape house.
