Notes

  1. ^ Snedden (2013, p. 176): On p. 29, the census report states that Urdu is the official language of the government of Azad Kashmir, with Kashmiri, Pahari, Gojri, Punjabi, Kohistani, Pushto, and Sheena ‘frequently spoken in Azad Kashmir’. Yet, when surveyed about their ‘mother tongue’, Azad Kashmiris’ choices were limited to selecting from Pakistan’s major languages: Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Pushto, Balochi, Saraiki, and ‘others’; not surprisingly, 2.18 million of Azad Kashmir’s 2.97 million people chose ‘others’.
