Urdu a “Pakistani dialect”
Skip to: comments (0); categories; related posts; previous/next postYou’ve got to feel laugh at La Retaguardia which, in a piece on the hunger strike by illegals, describes Urdu as a “Pakistani dialect.” There are only about 20,000 mother- and second-tongue speakers in Barcelona, so it’ll take probably them a few more years to get it right.
