Why Punjabi was Abolished in Punjab by the British?

The British first introduced Urdu as an educational and official language in Punjab due to fear of Punjabi nationalism, because of the status of Punjabi language, culture and traditions in Punjab as a binding force between Muslim Punjabi, Hindu Punjabi, Sikh Punjabi, Christian Punjabi.

For the British, Punjab was a frontier province, Punjabi was a secular martial nation and Punjab had boundaries with Afghanistan and Persia. Therefore, the Punjabis, unlike the Bengalis and the Sindhis, were not allowed to use their mother tongue as an educational and official language due to fear of boast in Punjabi nationalism.

After an era of Ranjeet Singh, during the rule of the British Empire in Punjab, British rulers imposed martial law in Punjab. To govern Punjab, they brought Urdu-speaking Muslim and Hindi-speaking Hindu bureaucracy and establishment from UP, as a result Punjabi became a socially and politically depressed and deprived nation due to the hegemony of Urdu and Hindi language, Gunga Jumna culture and UP-ite traditions. It resulted supremacy of UP-ite and UP-ite mindset in policy making and decision taking in national affairs and foreign relationship, managed, motivated and sponsored by the British rulers to eliminate the Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and Christian Punjabis into different religions and languages to secure their rule over last captured land and martial race of India.

However, during British rule in India, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Christian Punjabis were still a nation because of common land, language, culture and traditions. The religion was a personal subject, although, religious dissimilarity was a natural reality. However, clans moreover, communities were the institutions for social interaction and charity work. Punjab was a secular regime and Punjabi was a respectable and honorable language, culture and nation in India.

In 19th century due to politics of congress, dominated by Hindu and Hindi speaking leaders, Hindu Punjabi started preferring Hindi language, culture and traditions instead of Punjabi. Later on, Muslim Punjabis did the same due to the influence of the Muslim League, dominated by the UP-ite Urdu speaking Muslim leaders and presence of UP-ite Muslims in Punjab.

As a consequence of preferring Hindi language, culture and traditions by Hindu Punjabis and Urdu language, culture and traditions by Muslim Punjabis, the characteristics of assimilation to accomplish the sociological instinct started to switch from “Nation to Religion” and “A Great Nation of Sub-Continent Got Divided and Get Emerged into Muslim and Hindu States” as well as, started receiving the reward of hate and regret from every honorable nation, in addition to the humiliation, loathing and abuse from Hindi and Urdu speaking persons. This is the punishment of Punjabis for not respecting their motherland, language, culture and traditions. Anyway, Evolution exists everywhere, without realizing that, it is at right direction or wrong.

Since decades, Punjabis were in trouble because of lacking interest in Punjabi nationalist politics, ignorant to the Punjabi language, unaware with the Punjabi culture and uninformed for the Punjabi traditions because of preference to the Urdu language, Gunga Jumna culture and UP-ite traditions.

Especially, the Punjabis, those migrated from the Indian side of Punjab to Pakistan were more under the domination of Urdu language, Gunga Jumna culture and UPite traditions. Therefore, they accepted and owned the hegemony of Urdu language, Gunga Jumna culture and UPite traditions by surrendering the Punjabi language, culture and traditions. In addition, they also facilitated and supported the UP-ite to dominate Urdu language, Gunga Jumna culture and UPite traditions by means of suppressing and eliminating the languages, cultures and traditions of original and actual entities of Pakistan i.e. Sindhis, Balochis, Pukhtoons and Punjabis (due to many factors).

Hence, time has proved that; independence of Pakistan at the cost of splitting up Punjab with the blood of 2 million Punjabis and displacement of 20 million Punjabis, furthermore, lending support to UP-ite for dominating the Urdu language, Gunga Jumna culture and UPite traditions by means of suppressing and eliminating the languages, cultures and traditions of original and actual entities of Pakistan i.e. Sindhi, Baloch, Pukhtoon and Punjabi, in conjunction with, hegemony of UP-ite Muhajirs in national and foreign affairs bureaucracy, military and civil establishment, skilled and technical professions, politics and media organizations, was a blunder by the Punjabis due to political immaturity, irresponsibility and pettiness.

Urdu Speaking UP-ites, those concurred foremost cities of Punjab during British rule and after creation of Pakistan, are a major problem for Punjabi Nation and Punjabi Language. As they also speak Punjabi therefore, it is difficult to distinguish them that they are Punjabi or Urdu speaking UP-ites. By camouflaging in Punjabi skin, these UP-ite Urdu speaking Muhajirs is the main conspirators in Punjab to confuse Punjabi people and degrade Punjabi language along with support to Urdu language by the propaganda of “ Urdu is Binding Language of Pakistani People”, rather Language of Muslims.

پنجاب اسمبلی فوری طور پر پنجابی زبان کو تعلیمی اور دفتری زبان بنانے کے لیے قانون سازی کرے۔

پاکستان کی سپریم کورٹ ' آئیں کے آرٹیکل 251 کے احکامات کو بلا غیر ضروری تاخیر کے فوراَ نافذ کرنے کا حکم دے چکی ھے۔ سپریم کورٹ کے حکم کو صرف اردو زبان کے بطور سرکاری زبان نفاذ تک محدود رکھ کر مشتہر کیا جا رھا ھے۔ جبکہ سپریم کورٹ نے حکم جاری کیا ھے کہ؛

آرٹیکل 251 کے احکامات کو بلا غیر ضروری تاخیر فوراَ نافذ کیا جائے۔

سپریم کورٹ کا حکم اگر صرف آرٹیکل 251 (1) کے نفاذ کے لیے ھوتا تو اس سے مراد صرف اردو زبان کا بطور سرکاری زبان نفاذ ھوتا لیکن سپریم کورٹ کا حکم چونکہ آرٹیکل 251 کے نفاذ کے لیے ھے اور آرٹیکل 251 کے نفاذ کا مطلب آرٹیکل 251 (1) ' آرٹیکل 251 (2) آرٹیکل 251 (3) کا نفاذ ھے۔ 

سپریم کورٹ کا حکم چونکہ واضح طور پر آرٹیکل 251 کے نفاذ کے لیے ھے ' نہ کہ صرف آرٹیکل 251 (1) کے نفاذ کے لیے اس لیے سپریم کورٹ کا حکم صرف اردو زبان کے نفاذ تک محدود نہیں رکھا جاسکتا بلکہ آرٹیکل 251 کے نفاذ کا مطلب  " اردو زبان کا بطور سرکاری زبان نفاذ اور قومی زبان کے متوازی صوبائی زبانوں کا فروغ ھے"۔

http://www.supremecourt.gov.pk/web/user_files/File/Const.P.56_2003_U_dt_8-9-2015.pdf

آرٹیکل 251 کا متن ھے؛

1۔ پاکستان کی قومی زبان اردو ھے اور آغاز سے 15 سال کے اندر اندر یہ انتظام کیا جائے کہ اسکو سرکاری اور دیگر مقاصد کے لیے استعمال کیا جائے۔

2۔ ذیلی دفعہ (1) کے اندر رھتے ھوئے انگریزی زبان اس وقت تک سرکاری زبان کے طور پر استعمال کی جاسکے گی جب تک اس کے انتظامات نہیں کیے جاتے کہ اس کی جگہ اردو لے لے۔

3۔ قومی زبان کے مرتبہ پر اثر انداز ھوئے بغیر ایک صوبائی اسمبلی بذریعہ قانون ایسے اقدامات کرسکتی ھے جس کے ذریعہ صوبائی زبان کے فروغ ' تدریس اور قومی زبان کے ساتھ ساتھ اس کے استعمال کا بھی بندوبست کیا جاسکے۔

سپریم کورٹ نے اپنے فیصلے کی تمہید میں کہا ھے کہ؛

" اس سے پہلے بھی ھم آرٹیکل 251 کے مندرجات کی اھمیت کی طرف توجہ دلوا چکے ھیں اور سرکاری امور میں قومی زبان اور صوبائی زبانوں کی ترویج کی اھمیت کو اجاگر کرچکے ھیں"۔ 

" عدالت نے مشاہدہ کیا ھے کہ حکومتِ پنجاب ' پنجابی زبان کو اس کا مقام دلوانے میں ناکام رھی ھے اور اس زبان کو حصولِ علم کا ذریعہ بنانے کے لیے کوئی خاطر خواہ اقدامات نہیں کیے گئے"۔

" دستور میں مہیا کردہ ذاتی وقار کے حق کا لازمی تقاضہ ھے کہ ریاست ھر مرد و زن شہری کی زبان کو چاھے وہ قومی ھو یا صوبائی ' ایک قابلِ احترام زبان کا درجہ ضرور دے"۔

" جب ریاست اس بات پر مصر ھوجائے کہ وہ زبانیں جو پاکستان کے شہریوں کی اکثریت بولتی ھے ' اس قابل نہیں ھیں کہ ان میں ریاستی کام انجام پا سکے تو پھر ریاست ان شہریوں کو حقیقی معنوں میں ان کے انسانی وقار سے محروم کر رھی ھے"۔

" اس بات میں کوئی شبہ نہیں کہ انفرادی اور اجتماعی وقار اور تعلیم باھم مربوط ھیں۔ تعلیم ' جو ایک بنیادی حق ھے ' براہ راست زبان سے تعلق رکھتی ھے"۔

یونیسکو جیسا ادارہ بھی ' جو اقوامِ متحدہ کا تعلیمی ' سائنسی اور ثقافتی ادارہ ھے ' اس بات کی تائید کرتا ھے کہ بچے کو اس کی اپنی زبان میں ھی تعلیم دی جانی چاھیئے کیونکہ اپنی زبان ھی وہ زبان ھے جو اپنے گھر اور ماحول سے سیکھتا ھے اور اسی کے زیرِسایہ پروان چڑھتا ھے۔ لیکن حکومت اس اھم معاملے سے بے نیاز دکھائی دیتی ھے"۔

" حکومتوں کی بے عملی اور ناکامی کو سامنے رکھتے ھوئے ' ھمارے سامنے سوائے اس کے کوئی راستہ نہیں کہ ھم حکم جاری کریں ؛ آرٹیکل 251 کے احکامات کو بلا غیر ضروری تاخیر فوراَ نافذ کیا جائے"۔ " بغیر کسی غیر ضروری تاخیر کے نگرانی کرنے اور باھمی رابط قائم رکھنے والے ادارے آرٹیکل 251 کو نافذ کریں اور تمام متعلقہ اداروں میں اس دفعہ کا نفاذ یقینی بنائیں"۔" اس فیصلے کے اجراع کے بعد ' اگر کوئی سرکاری ادارہ یا اھلکار آرٹیکل 251 کے احکامات کی خلاف ورزی جاری رکھے گا تو جس شہری کو بھی اس خلاف ورزی کے نتیجے میں نقصان یا ضرر پہنچے گا ' اسے قانونی چارہ جوئی کا حق حاصل ھوگا"۔

" اس فیصلے کی نقل تمام وفاقی اور صوبائی معتمدین کو بھیجی جائے تاکہ وہ آرٹیکل 5 کی روشنی میں آرٹیکل 251 پر عمل درآمد کے لیے فوری طور پر اقدام اٹھائیں۔ وفاق اور صوبوں کی جانب سے اس ھدایت پر عمل درآمد کی رپورٹ تین ماہ کے اندر تیار ھوکر عدالت میں پیش کی جائے"۔

سپریم کورٹ کے حکم کے بعد اب پاکستان کے وفاقی اداروں میں اردو زبان استعمال ھوگی  جبکہ پنجاب کے صوبائی اداروں میں پنجابی ' سندھ کے صوبائی اداروں میں سندھی ' خیبر پختونخواہ کے صوبائی اداروں میں پشتو اور بلوچستان کے صوبائی اداروں میں بلوچی استعمال ھوگی۔ اس لیے پنجاب حکومت اور معزز اراکینِ پنجاب اسمبلی سے پنجاب کے عوام کا مطالبہ ھے کہ پنجاب اسمبلی فوری طور پر پنجابی زبان کو تعلیمی اور دفتری زبان بنانے کے لیے قانون سازی کرے۔

Punjabi Zabaan, Pakistan Ki National Language Kyon Nahi Hy?

Kisi bhe state ki national language tu wo language hoti hy jo ous state ki majority population boolti ho.

 Pakistan ki 4% population Balochi boolti hy.

 Pakistan ki 8% population Pushto boolti hy.

 Pakistan ki 8% population Urdu boolti hy.

 Pakistan ki 12% population Sindhi boolti hy.

Jub k, Pakistan ki 60% population Punjabi as first language boolti hy jub k Punjabi language ko as second language boolnay waalay es k elaawa hain.

Sawal paida hota hy k Pakistan ki 60% population k Punjabi as first language boolnay k bawajood Punjabi k bajaay Pakistan ki 8% population ki as a first language booli jaanay waali zabaan Urdu ko Pakistan ki national language kyon banaaya gayaa hy?

India ki 25% Hindustani nation (Hindi-Urdu speaking, U.P, CP people of Gunga Jumna) ki Hindi zabaan, India ki national language hy.

India ki 25% population ki zabaan honay k bawajood, India k educational institutions, government offices, electronic aur print media, foreign relationship k liay Hindi zabaan ko he priority di jaati hy.

Laykun, Indus Valley Civilization k area par qaim Pakistan ki 60% Punjabi population ki Punjabi zabaan, Pakistan ki national language kyon nahi hy?

Pakistan ki 80% population k Punjabi zabaan bool aur samajh laynay k bawajood, Pakistan k educational institutions, government offices, electronic aur print media, foreign relationship k liay Punjabi zabaan ko kyon priority nahi di jaati?

Why Punjabi is not an Educational and Official Language of Punjab?

Punjabi is spoken by 60% Punjabis as a first language and 20% others speak Punjabi as a second language in Pakistan.

The Problem is not in speaking of Punjabi. The Problem is, about making Punjabi as an educational and official language of Punjab.

Urdu is not a lingua-Franca for international trade and business, then why Urdu is an educational and an official language of Punjab? Why Punjabi is not an educator and an official language of Punjab?

There is a difference between national language of any nation and lingua-franca for international trade and business. Punjabi is the national language of Punjabi nation and English is the lingua-franca for international trade and business.

Langua-Franca always takes change according to the international trade and business requirement of the nation, but the national language always remains the national language of the nation. In the past, for centuries, Persian was the lingua-franca for international trade and business in Punjab and it was replaced by the English.

Neither the Urdu is a national language of Punjabi nation and nor the Urdu is a langua-franca for international trade and business than; what is the justification for Urdu to be the educational and official language of Punjabi nation?

How Punjabi Language Got Encroached By The Urdu-Hindi Language?

Punjabi is the 9th biggest nation and Punjabi speaking population of the world. Punjabi nation is the 3rd biggest nation of South Asia. Punjabi Muslims are the 3rd largest ethnic community in Muslim Ummah. Punjabis are the largest ethnic population in Pakistan. The great land of five rivers called as Punjab is the homeland of Punjabi nation. Yet, socially and politically Punjabi is a depressed and deprived nation due to the domination of Urdu-Hindi language, hegemony of Gunga Jumna culture, supremacy of UP-ites and UP-ite mindsets clones of Gunga Jumna culture in policy making and decision taking of national affairs and foreign relationship of Punjabi nation since from 1849.

In 1800 century, religious ratio of Punjabi people in Punjab was 48% Muslim Punjabis, 43% Hindu Punjabis, 8% Sikh Punjabis and 1% others but due to attraction of the various tribes, castes and the inhabitants of the Punjab into a broader common "Punjabi" identity and uniting by natural affinity of "Punjabi nationalism", Punjab was a secular region, Punjabi was a secular nation and a Sikh Punjabi, Maharaja Ranjeet Singh was the ruler of Punjab, after throwing out the Muslim Mughal invaders of Punjab from Delhi, India and Muslim Afghan invaders of Punjab from Kabul, Afghanistan.

Maharaja Ranjeet Singh made Lahore his capital and was able to expand the Kingdom of Punjab to the Khyber Pass and also included Jammu and Kashmir in it. He was also successful in keeping the British from expanding across the River Sutlej for more than 40 years. After his death in 1839 the internecine fighting between the Sikhs and several rapid forfeitures of territory by his sons, along with the intrigues of the Dogras and two Anglo-Sikh wars, eventually led to British control of the Lahore Darbar in 1849.

As, after Hindi-Urdu Speaking UP, CP people of Gunga Jumna culture, Bengali was the second and Punjabi was the third biggest nation of South Asia and for the British, Punjab was a frontier province of British India because, Punjab had boundaries with Afghanistan and Persia. Therefore, to rule the South Asia, the prime factor for the British rulers was to control the Punjab by dominating or eliminating the Punjabi nation.

British rulers were well aware with the fact that, they succeeded to capture the Punjab but they has not concurred the Punjabi nation. Therefore, British rulers imposed martial law in Punjab to govern Punjab and due to a fear from Punjabi nationalism; British rulers started to eliminate the Punjabi nation into frictions by switching over the characteristics of Muslim Punjabi, Hindu Punjabi, and Sikh Punjabi from  “ Affinity of Nation to Emotions of Religion”.

For demolishing the nationalism and promoting the religious fundamentalism in Punjab, British rulers not allowed the Punjabis to use their mother tongue as an educational and official language. Therefore, the British rulers first introduced Urdu as an official language in Punjab and they brought the Urdu-speaking Muslim Mullahs and Hindi-speaking Hindu Pundits from UP, CP to Punjab for the purpose of educational teaching of Punjabi people along with, UP, CP bureaucracy and establishment for the purpose of Punjab administration.

It resulted supremacy of UP-ites and UP-ite mindsets in policy making and decision taking in national affairs and foreign relationship of Punjabi nation, managed, motivated and sponsored by the British rulers to eliminate the Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and Christian Punjabi’s into different religions and languages to secure their rule over last captured land and martial race of subcontinent.

As a result, Punjabi nation became a socially and politically depressed and deprived nation due to the domination of Urdu-Hindi language, hegemony of Gunga Jumna culture and supremacy of UP-ite traditions.

However, beside the all efforts of British rulers to demolish and eliminate the Punjabi nation, due to struggle of Punjabi nationalists during British rule in India, beside the dissimilarity of religion, because of natural affinity on ground of similar language, culture and tradition, Muslim Punjabi, Hindu Punjabi, Sikh Punjabi and Christian Punjabi were still a nation. Religion was a personal subject for building moral character and spiritual development for the life of hereafter. Punjabi nationalism was a subject for the worldly life affairs. Whereas, clans moreover, communities were the institutions for social interaction and charity work. Punjab was a secular region, Punjabi language was a respectable language, Punjabi culture was a honorable culture and Punjabi nation was a wealthy nation in British India.

In 19th century due to politics of congress, dominated by Hindu and Hindi speaking, UP-ite Hindu leaders of UP, CP, Hindu Punjabi started preferring Hindi language, culture, and traditions instead of Punjabi. Later on, Muslim Punjabi’s did the same due to the influence of the Muslim League, dominated by the Urdu speaking, UP-ite Muslim leaders of UP, CP and presence of UP-ite Muslims in Punjab.

As a consequence of preferring Hindi language, culture and traditions by Hindu Punjabi’s and Urdu language, culture and traditions by the Muslim Punjabi’s, the characteristics of assimilation to accomplish the sociological instinct, started to switch from “Nation to Religion” and “A Great Nation of Sub-Continent Got Divided and Get Emerged into Muslim and Hindu States” as well as, started receiving the reward of hate and regret from every honorable nation, in addition, humiliation, loathing and abuse from Hindi-Urdu speaking persons too. This is the punishment of Punjabi's for not respecting their motherland, language, culture, and traditions. Anyway, Evolution exists everywhere, without realizing that, it is at right direction or wrong.

Now, from decades, Punjabi's are in trouble because of lacking interest in Punjabi nationalist politics, ignorant of the Punjabi language, unaware of the Punjabi culture and uninformed to the Punjabi traditions because of preference to the Urdu language, Gunga Jumna culture and UP-ite traditions.

Especially, the Punjabi's migrated from the Indian side of Punjab to Pakistan were more under influence of Urdu language, domination of Gunga Jumna culture and supremacy of UP-ite traditions. Therefore, they accepted and owned the hegemony of Urdu language, Gunga Jumna culture and UP-ite traditions by surrendering the Punjabi language, culture and traditions. In addition, they also facilitated and supported the UP-ites to dominate Urdu language, Gunga Jumna culture and UP-ite traditions by means of suppressing and eliminating the languages, cultures and traditions of actual inhabitants and original entities of Pakistan i.e. Bengali’s, Sindhi’s, Blochi’s, Pukhtoon’s and Punjabi’s (due to many factors).

Hence, time has proved that; independence of Pakistan at the cost of splitting up Punjab, disintegration of Punjabi nation with the blood of 2 million Punjabi’s and displacement of 20 million Punjabi’s furthermore, lending support to UP-ites for domination of Urdu language, Gunga Jumna culture and UP-ite traditions by means of suppressing and eliminating the languages, cultures and traditions of actual inhabitants and original entities of Pakistan, in conjunction with, hegemony of UP-ite Muhajir's in national and foreign affairs bureaucracy, military and civil establishment, skilled and technical professions, politics and media organizations, was a blunder by the Punjabi's due to political immaturity, irresponsibility and pettiness.

At present, Urdu Speaking UP-ites, those concurred foremost cities of Punjab during British rule and after creation of Pakistan are major problem for Punjabi Nation and Punjabi Language. As they also speak Punjabi therefore, it is difficult to distinguish them that they are Punjabi or Urdu speaking UP-ites. By camouflaging in Punjabi skin, these Urdu speaking Muhajirs of Gunga Jumna culture and UP-ite traditions are main conspirators in Punjab to confuse Punjabi people and degrade the Punjabi language along with support to Urdu language by propaganda of “ Urdu is Binding Language of Pakistani People”, rather Language of Muslims.

As the Punjabi language has groomed by the Sufi saints therefore, Punjabi language has spiritual background and Punjabi language has potential for wisdom related inventions and intellects to develop the moral character for good deeds of life and spiritual development for the life of hereafter.

For skill related inventions and intellects, usually international Lingua-Franca plays essential role but for wisdom related inventions and intellects, spiritually rich language is of vital importance, especially if it is your mother language. Therefore, it is in the best interest of Punjabis to adopt the English as an international Lingua-Franca and Punjabi as their national language.

If we start speaking other languages and forget our own, we would not be we, we would be clones of an alien people; we would be aliens to ourselves" UNESCO, 1958.

Punjabi is an actual, original and potential language of Punjab and Punjabi nation. A language groomed, patronized, propagated by the “Sufi Saints of Punjab”. Therefore, it is an earnest need to implant Punjabi language as an educational and official language of Punjab.

Tragedy with Mother Tongue of Punjabi's.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh made Lahore his capital and was able to expand the kingdom to the Khyber Pass and also included Jammu and Kashmir, while keeping the British from expanding across the River Sutlej for more than 40 years.

 After his death in 1839 the internecine fighting between the Sikhs and several rapid forfeitures of territory by his sons, along with the intrigues of the Dogras and two Anglo-Sikh wars, eventually led to British control of the Lahore Darbar ten years later.

 For the British, Punjab was a frontier province, because Punjab had boundaries with Afghanistan and Persia. Therefore, the Punjabis, unlike the Bengalis and the Sindhis, were not allowed to use their mother tongue as an official language due to a fear of Punjabi nationalism therefore, the British first introduced Urdu as an official language in Punjab, including Lahore, allegedly.

 In Punjab, non-educated, agriculture related and rural residents speaks Punjabi, owns Punjabi culture and follow Punjabi traditions but due to educational and official status of Urdu in Punjab, majority of elite class, government servants and urban residents, do not have respect, regard and honor for their mother language, culture and traditions.

 Urdu Speaking UP-ites, those concurred foremost cities of Punjab during British rule and after creation of Pakistan, are also a major problem for Punjabi Language, culture and traditions. By camouflaging in Punjabi skin, these UP-ite Urdu speaking Muhajirs are main conspirators in Punjab to confuse Punjabi elite class, government servants and urban residents by degrading Punjabi language and support to Urdu with propaganda of Binding Language for Pakistani People, rather Language of Muslims. Therefore, the basic assembling and vital binding force for Punjab and Punjabi nation, i.e. Punjabi language is not an official and educational language of Punjab.

 However, without patronage and ignorant attitude of Government of Pakistan, still Punjabi, the language of 60% Pakistanis, is the 9th Most Spoken Language of World.

 01. Chinese (Mandarin) – 935 Million Native Speakers

 02. Spanish – 387 Million Native Speakers

 03. English – 365 Million Native Speakers

 04. Hindi – 295 Million Native Speakers

 05. Arabic – 280 Million Native Speakers

 06. Portuguese – 204 Million Native Speakers

 07. Bengali – 202 Million Native Speakers

 08. Russian – 160 Million Native Speakers

09. Punjabi – 130 Million Native Speakers.

10. Japanese – 127 Million Native Speakers

Punjabi is the 9th Most Spoken Languages of World.

Although there are over 6,000 languages in existence today, the vast majority of the world speaks less than 150. Of those 150, the usual suspects are all there, however there are a few that may surprise you; English drops to third place and Portuguese overtakes Bengali. Enough teasing, let’s get started.

01. Chinese (Mandarin) – 935 Million Native Speakers

Of the more than 6.6 billion people in the world, 14.1% of them speak Mandarin Chinese. China has many dialects, but Mandarin Chinese is the most common and widely accepted of them all. It is the native language of roughly 935 million Chinese.

02. Spanish – 387 Million Native Speakers

Saying “Hola” at spot number two is Spanish with 387 million speakers. This accounts for about 5.85% of the world getting the big bien venido upon entering this world. Also a common second language, for Americans and others, Spanish is quickly gaining ground as a world language partly due to it being widely thought of as the easiest language to learn. While it has quite a ways to go before it overtakes Chinese, it’s already overtaken number #3… English.

03. English – 365 Million Native Speakers

If you’re reading this, you speak English to some degree (or you are really confused.) While behind Spanish, English is still the lingua franca of the world. It dominates business, trade, and America’s currency, the dollar, is still used on a global scale. Hollywood helps spread our lovely language throughout the world and helps it maintain it as a status language.

04. Hindi – 295 Million Native Speakers

Hindi is the big-hitter in India. India has over 122 languages with 22 of them recognized by the constitution of India as official languages. Of them, Hindi has emerged as the big dog; the one everyone wants to play with. It is essentially a lingua franca in parts of, if not all of, India. Most Indians can speak or understand it to some degree. India has a lot of people, therefore a lot of people speak Hindi. Logical.

05. Arabic – 280 Million Native Speakers

Obviously, as astute as you all are, you know this statistic is a bit skewed. Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the common language used for news broadcasts and official stuff, however most Arabic-speaking folk speak a dialect of Arabic; Egyptian Arabic, Moroccan Arabic, Algerian Arabic, etc. If these were fragmented off, none of them would easily make the top 10, however, luckily for Arabic, they are all lumped together for official purposes. You got lucky this time, Arabic. Arabic is also one of the hardest languages to learn for English speakers.

06. Portuguese – 204 Million Native Speakers

From Brazil to Portugal, the Portuguese know how to party. They also know how to multiply. From a relatively smaller number of countries, this rabbit-like mammals get it done when it comes to producing little Portuguese speakers.

07. Bengali – 202 Million Native Speakers

I bet you didn’t see Bengali coming… in fact, I bet you don’t know what Bengali is. Let me educate you. Bengali is the language native to the southeastern region of Asia known as Bengal. Think Bangladesh. While numbers vary for the ‘native speakers’ of this language, it’s still in a solid place among the top 10 most spoken languages in the world.

08. Russian – 160 Million Native Speakers

Russian, or Russki as I like to call it (I don’t know why) is a Slavic language that gives me fits when I try to learn it. Written in the Cyrillic alphabet, it looks and sounds foreign to most English speakers. The Russians know how to be cold and decline words. And be tough. And intimidating.

09. Punjabi – 130 Million Native Speakers

 Ahh Punjabi, what would a top 10 list be without you? Punjabi “…is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by 130 million (2013 estimate) native speakers worldwide making it the 9th most widely spoken language in the world.”

10. Japanese – 127 Million Native Speakers

Perhaps the most polite language on the top 10, Japanese is famous for it’s difficulty in addressing various levels of people with regards to their status and respect level. Seemingly two different languages are used for addressing elders and people of authority vs. that annoying kid down the street. With it’s unique writing system, it appears to be really foreign to a large portion of the world. However, to 127 million people, it’s pure comfort.

It’s clear to see that the vast majority of languages are comprised of only the top fraction of a percent. Of the 6,000+ languages spoken today, this list of 10 makes up for roughly 45% or so of the total population of the earth. As the world becomes smaller, we lose a lot of the underrepresented languages out there. Whether you consider this a natural part of civilization, or a tragedy, it is happening. There are large efforts out there to support and help preserve near-extinct languages, but it will remain an uphill battle as more and more people jump on the bandwagon to speak one of the more ‘common’ languages.
