Ni Hao! Learning a foreign language is always an exciting experience for people of all ages. With regards to the lingual preferences of Pakistan, the two of the most commonly used languages in this country are Urdu and English, excluding rural areas where people prefer using regional languages more. Furthermore, the official documents issued by the government of Pakistan are also either in English or Urdu medium. However, in recent years, the trend of learning foreign languages, especially Chinese, has also picked up the pace in Pakistan. It is mostly because now a large number of Pakistanis frequently travel back and forth to China for business, employment and educational purposes due to the friendly ties between both the countries. Owing to this fact, many institutes have now started offering Chinese language courses in Islamabad.
Note: Mandarin is the most commonly used dialect of Chinese language in China. So, a majority of the institutes in Islamabad offer courses in this Chinese dialect.
