[eng:b6b5568db9]Do not take me wrong, I am not expert in English, but after using it to communicate for 30 years ( My mother tongue is Urdu), it is easier for me to say in English what I want to say, even it may be grammatically wrong. There are words for every thing you do or see from morning to bedtime. Even when English borrow words, it get modified afterward to a simple English words.
Ah Urdu, It is not that I have not read and written extensively in Urdu. There are novels, short stories, poetry and articles to attest the fact. Problem is spoken Urdu has not progress on its own. The other day I was trying to create a dictionary of profession in Arabic and thinking I am on a Urdu site, I used Urdu as a language to translate word[/eng:b6b5568db9] الفلكي, عالم الفلك ,astronomer. [eng:b6b5568db9]This became a major task, look what I came across [/eng:b6b5568db9]ہیئت دان ۔ رصاد ۔ سدھانتی ۔ کھگول جاننے والا . [eng:b6b5568db9]I do not think any one will understand what I am talking about if I use any of these words. Urdu lack addition of simple new words .
Again I am not saying that literary Urdu lack words, but every day spoken Urdu is no match to other languages.
We badly need a new Baba-e-Urdu in Pakistan.
