SINDHI & URDU are the most beautiful and melodious languages of South Asia (sub-continent). Please don’t let them die. Do learn Siraiki, Punjabi, Balochi, Pashto, Brohvi, English and other languages but keep Sindhi and Urdu along.

It is the moral responsibility of all to protect and promote Sindhi language and Sindhi culture and keep it alive for the global peace.
