What do you expect from a nation, whose all academics are taught in English
Hm, very, very good English speakers and writers and (probably unfortunately very many) stammering diarists.
A pity, yes, because language is culture. If their characters fall asleep, this could also mean disintegration (Tower of Babel).
There are foundations here for the preservation of regional languages (in German there are many dialects, some of which are considered languages in their own right). However, you can put endless amounts of money into promoting them: If nobody speaks/uses the language (fluently) anymore, it will die even with millions in subsidies... 😢
Disintegration is already there.
We also have many foundations that promote and preserve regional languages. I don't have enough knowledge about how effective they are. I could be wrong, but my experience says that the work is being done, but only in texts, and texts are not always interesting.
I will talk about myself; I have read a shamefully low number of Urdu books but hundreds of English texts because I don't often find innovation in Urdu. That's not just about reading; media too. I barely watch Urdu movies; even my kids are growing up watching English cartoons because nothing interesting is created in Urdu anymore.
Things are complicated. Sadly, language seems less important compared to all other crises in which we are drowning.

Do you speak Urdu with your children, family and friends in everyday life? Like Urdu is YOUR language but written language and TV is English?
