If we are to learn from history then we should adapt to most advance language of the Era because this was practised by Muslims and then west to reach the pinnacle of glory. Muslims learnt Greek then replicated their work in Arabic and finally they produced their original thought in Arabic. Same was the case during renaissance of Europe.

I would condemn scarping urdu language in it's entirety because national language is like honour and honour is neither scrapped nor abandoned
