lol, i hate it when you get yourself into these kinds of situations (my urdu is along the lines of "rubbish" and occasionaly contains mixture of mirpuri). My lil bro speaks the worse mirpuri its hilarious.
English is far more easier!
But if your urdu [b]was good[/b] then I for one have to say it is way more respectful then angrezi (english language).
I received nothing I wanted
I received everything I needed.
My Prayer has been answered.
English doesn't have respectful/disrespectful terms, "you" is just used for everyone...if u dont feel confortable sayin "you" when refering your parents, call them "mum" and "dad"etc....
I don't think English is disrespectful at all.
Unless you use slang or swear word in your speech.
any language can be disrespectful..............if you speak Eton English even that sounds fancy
BUT
a lot of poets, scholars, etc will tel you............. English is a weak language
you cant interprate Farsi, Urdu, Arabic, Ottoman Turkish into English - loses vvalue and interpretation....such is its simpleness
its a fact
The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

English can be a very respectful language
if ur articulate and know how to choose ur words carefully
i hate Urdu-i sound like a fool when i speak it
hey so what if english does not have the vocab of those languages?
In arabic there are supposedly 15 diferent words for camel. It may be god for poetry, but normally one or two are more than enough.

you wont understand admin
urdu and farsi i can vouch for, im not familiar wiv arabic - they cant be captured in English, many texts lose meanings and emphasis
i was reading a Seerah book, and the author mentioned the original was in Ottomon Turkish, and despite best attempts, its not the same in english.
u hav an english nasheed - good lyrics but not very deep
u hav a naat - those lyrics dnt hav same effect in English

I agree with Hayder, the emotions that are captured in urdu, farsi and arabic cannot be related in the same way in english.
THROUGH LOVE all that is bitter will be sweet.
Through Love all that is copper will be gold.
Through Love all dregs will turn to purest wine.
Through Love all pain will turn to medicine.
Through Love the king will turn into a slave!
that is not because English is a weaker languege. Its because Idioms and phrases cannot be translated word by word.
Translate something from english to another language. It will lose some of its zest.

lol, admin - hav u ever read urdu/farsi poems? stories? understood the Qawalis or naats?
English is a good language, but far inferior - any knowledgeable person who can speak all or some of the languages mentioned will tell u that

I suppose Urdu is more emotional then English..
But, since I can barely speak it I’m very rarely moved by it…I express myself a lot better in English and feel more connected to people who also express themselves better in English.
But I agree with someone who said that “suraiqi” is a sweet language….I love that language.
yes any knowledgeable person not fluent in english will tell you that.

I can only recite non stop from 1-100 in urdu
my urdu teacher taught me

i dont think urdus snobby at all. or SO called posh
My dads from Karachi-dads side all speak this extremly posh Urdu that makes me sick-they dont know punjabi
mums from Islamabad-her family speaks punjabi but before marraige mum only knew english
dad taught mum how to speak Urdu
we all speak English at home
but mum and dad speak to one another in Urdu
Urdu is snobby-u ever heard Alim Online from Geo speak? thats how my family speaks urdu :roll:
that way that man who presents alim online talks can be quite irritating,
at times hes sounds k, my sis says he talks to slow ...my cousins find him annoying.
my urdu is really good naj but im crap at numbers i have to ask mum which number she'd talking bout,my punjabi sounds hilarious,cant speak it properly to save my life lol
Actions speak louder than words!
He is way too slow.
false pauses to retend he is intelligent... or the autocue is too slow!
I find the geezer very annoying.

he is urdu speaking muhajir, they spk a different type of urdu to the punjabis.
Karachi is full of urdu speakers, and that man is a man of altaf husseins jama'at, no wonder he is a gud actor.
Ya ALLAH Madad.
Haq Chaar Yaar
