Maybe something should be said about Urdu being the native language of a relatively small minority of Pakistan's inhabitants... AnonMoos 07:51, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's all clearly discussed in Urdu article which indicates that it is spoken by a vast majority of the country's inhabitants.--IslesCapeTalk 18:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This article scores quite low on all of our measures. Clearly an authority like this is much less important than the language itself, and outside the scope of this release, which includes only the top 1% or so of Wikipedia. Walkerma (talk) 03:15, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The linkage in the info box to "Perso" is not to the language, and needs to be rectified by someone knowledgeable. 75.200.115.107 (talk) 15:40, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
