 Address in Urdu

Dr. Jassim Taqui

DG Al-Bab Institute for Strategic Studies

 Islamabad July 22, The US charge de affairs a.i. to Pakistan Her Excellency Angela Aggler came with a good surprise when she extended her greeting to the nation on the advent of Eid ul Adha in the Urdu Language. 

I enjoyed the speech of Her Excellency especially being trilingual (Arabic, English, and Urdu).

However, I would like to suggest that the translators of her English speech should avoid using compound or/and long sentences. Use simple sentences with minimum grammar. Control vocabulary by being very selective to ensure simplicity. This would make the speech easier to read and pronounce, and more exciting.



The writer is Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics.
