Neighbors, what's the other flag on the right ? The logo looks like the state symbol, do you guys use it on a flag ?

State emblem[edit]

The State Emblem
Main article: State emblem of Pakistan

The State Emblem was adopted in 1954 and symbolizes Pakistan's ideological foundation, the basis of its economy, its cultural heritage and its guiding principles.[28] The four components of the emblem are a crescent and star crest above a shield, which is surrounded by a wreath, below which is a scroll.[28] The crest and the green colour of the emblem are traditional symbols of Islam. The quartered shield in the centre shows cotton, wheat, tea and jute, which were the major crops of Pakistan at independence and signify the agricultural base of the economy.[28] The floral wreath, surrounding the shield, represents the floral designs used in traditional Mughal art and emphasizes the cultural heritage of Pakistan.[28]

Nation's Motto[edit]

Main article: Iman Ittihad Nazm

The scroll supporting the shield contains Muhammad Ali Jinnah's motto in Urdu, which reads from right to left: (ایمان ، اتحاد ، نظم و ضبط‬) "Iman, Ittehad, Nazm" translated as "Faith, Unity, Discipline" and are intended as the guiding principles for Pakistan.[20]

Lol no way. You can hear the Punajbi Paindooness from a mile.

I guess only decent Urdu speakers remained in India. Listen to someone from Awadh region to give you an idea how is Urdu spoken properly.

I have seen them and most of the actors spoke with a noticable Punjabi accent.

Maybe the ones from Karachi (muhajirs specifically) could speak it properly.

You would laugh if you heard me speak urdu, so I try to avoid speaking it.

We laugh at a lot of things Pathans do.

Urdu speaking should be the last thing you should be worrying about.
