However, designating the indigenous languages 'OFFICIAL' status will raise their awareness and prevent them from going extinct, which is or at least should be the main point here.... [/b]


yes ? no?
Yooki, your last sentence makes the point, BUT in my context

I am not in favor of a single sole national language, there should be atleast 6 official languages, giving due consideration to the four main provincial languages, and in addition to that, Urdu and English. Urdu can be used in the center, by the Govt and should be taught in all four provinces, along with the the respective provincial language of that particular province. Once we get this system going, yes these languages wont go extinct, and then maybe we can worry about the other less spoken languages. We have to start somewhere.
