Abstract

China and Pakistan are friendly neighbors and there are many similarities between them. Pakistan’s language status has its own characteristics. Pakistan’s language policy is constantly changing. The main manifestation is the competition for official language status between Urdu and English. This has created a number of problems, such as fierce fighting in the two social strata, division of the country, colloquialization of main ethnic languages and national separatism caused by marginalization of local dialects. These facts have provided useful reference and enlightenment for the formulation of Chinese language policy.
