A language will remain in this world, if it has ability of absorption, even English has absorbed many words from other Languages and also from Urdu language. for example:Garam Masala, Roti, Pukka, Poori, Loot, Khaki, Jungle, Gymkhana, Dekko, Dacoit and many more. See the meanings of these words in English dictionary.
Dear! are these words not from Urdu? which are absorbed by English.
If there is no proper word in Urdu for a specific term or word from the other languages, then we can pronounce it, as it is.
