Place of English language in Pakistan

via www.nation.com.pk

The English may be a foreign language, but it is international in its significance. It is rightly taken as the lingua franca, the common language in all parts of the world today.

There is need to learn and use it in our country even though we also need to develop and adopt our own national language in all fields of life.

Importance of English language cannot be disregarded. It is spoken, read or understood in most parts of the world. Wherever you may go, in Europe, Asia, Africa or in the Americas, in Australia or the North or South Poles you will find some one or the other communicating with you in English.
