Hence, I believe we should be careful with foreign organisations like Oxford AQA, which are also instruments of keeping the UK and the English language up, even now three-quarters of a century after Pakistan’s independence. This year’s literature festival used Urdu much more than at earlier festivals when English was more frequently used. This year’s Nobel Laureate in Literature, Jon Fosse (64), is a Norwegian, which I am proud of mentioning. During that time, the Danish language had become the only official, written language. My point here is to say that New Norwegian is good enough even to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
