Really a remarkable work for the haters of our national anthem. Urdu is the language of mixture of various foreign languages. So every word spoken in Urdu by the Ahle Zuban is Urdu definitely Urdu. Some so called progressives who did not want Hafeez Jallandhari to win this honour started such debate. But it does not have a base. As you have worked out that 53 out of 56 words are commonly known/used in Urdu. I wish I knew Sindhi, Pashto an Balochi as well so that I could figure out how many words of this tarana are easily understood in these languages. But I'm sure there will be many. Thanks a lot to work on this important issue.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much sultan for your kind response to the article. It will be a great step if you find some common linguistic connection between regional languages and Urdu Qoumi Tarana of Pakistan. Sindhi and Balochi civilization has some connectivity with Arabic region while Pashto and dari area connected with Persian roots. Hoping best this information will help anyone regarding the concerned research.
