dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this paper is to highlight the issues relating to the survival of regional languages in the face of multilingualism, globalization and the ever increasing use of Urdu and English language, It also aims to determine factors due to which Pakistanis could not achieve their national identity on the basis of Urdu as national language; instead English took the place of national language which exercised adverse impact not only on Urdu, but also on the regional languages and culture equally. Data is collected through questionnaire, group interviews and by document analysis and is analyzed by using qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques. The plan includes unfolding power politics on the basis of language resulting in elimination of regional language and culture. The results show that modernization, globalization and lack of effective language policy planning and practice are the factors responsible for the loss of culture and regional varieties of language; and if timely steps are not taken we will be deprived of our cultural heritage.en_US
