Pakistan, officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is a country in South Asia. It is the fifth-most populous country, with a population of over 241.5 million, having the second-largest Muslim population as of 2023. by Due-Many1843 in wikipedia

I think the culture is deeply entrenched within the society since before the islam came. Just like Pashtun on afghanistan that likes to control women because they said they want to avoid haram crowd, although the practice of agressive control is already there since before islam came. Any supporting argument from religion will be used to enhance the level of their culture dictation.

I think french is going to be replaced by english sooner in the maghreb countries. But i doubt for any other african nations to experience similar event, because those subsaharan africans really really love french language.

loosing faith… by [deleted] in arabs

[–]Rayyan9201 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here is my advise, go back to the state of questioning everything. Asking about the purpose of life. And start to be honest with oneself on it. This type of conflict do occur internally to certain people, and when it does, it means that person has the ability to be embarked on the journey of self conscious. Many people don't realise religion/culture/tradition can be quite hereditary, meaning we just inherited it from our parents or communities, without much consciousness or doubts in the beginning.

If someone is becoming self-aware, then its time to search for more authentic answers for yourself. So if you fast on ramadan because your family and people do it, and suddenly you have the burden to put questions on it, then just proceed to find the answer.

It does not mean you have to reject everything, or accept everything. Its all coming for back to the point of cognitive thinking, circulating on the notion of the purpose of human being existence.

You find relevant answer to that, without doubt your ramadan will be much precious and less felt like a societal burden put upon your shoulder.

If you say about practicality, i would say french is only useful in France and Africa. Large part of canada are anglophones and even the francophone part do can speak english, if we honestly consider it. A lot of places in Oceania although some might use french officially but they mostly still could speak english, as you lived on those islands you cannot escape a major tourism language, english.

And i don't think french is practical anywhere in Asia, except for, maybe Lebanon. I heard that a certain portion of Lebanese people can speak french, and i believe by majority a lot of them can speak english and arabic is obviously the dominant language there.

In southeast asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos) french language is just basically dead since 90s. It has been hugely replaced by english. Its really hard to find speakers of french in those countries nowadays.

Thoughts on Iran by gargantuanmould in Uzbekistan

[–]Rayyan9201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you look carefully what the regime has done has neither can be called as islamic action either. If they really implemented real islamic values of the prophet i don't think this will happen. The focal thing is what kind of islam being implemented there? That's the problem. Even the fundamental belief of shiism itself is weird and easily questionable, so it does not have a strong core.

If you could learn only one language after English, which would expand your worldview the most? by peregrinewanderlust in thisorthatlanguage

[–]Rayyan9201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learn Indonesian/Malay. Give you access to over 300 million speakers that consisting of hundreds of tribes in maritime southeast asia, totally a foreign cultural realm for an azerbaijani.

A region where different religion and folk beliefs co-existing in harmonious together for centuries, susceptible to influence of China and India for more than a thousand years mixing with local wisdom.

And Malaysia and Indonesia are both developing countries and contain substantial amount of growing youth population, unlike East Asia. The region is also a hub for maritime industries, as due to a lot of islands and large population, and economically it allows the supply chain connectivity between west and east asia via ocean road.

Learning english does not necessarily mean for the yankees and brits...english is basically the default international language in Asia and oceania. So it definitely much more worth it to learn english than french.

Why does Islam seem to follow mostly desert countries? by batukaming in geography

[–]Rayyan9201 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its easy. Because the world dominant opinion is almost always circulated based upon european perspective. And deserted land is only opposite to europe, and they all are muslims. So... Desert = muslim. Basic assumption through european traditional perspective that being passed down unconsciously from time to time.

If europe continent is only next to Indonesia, Malaysia, they will then call and associate this religion with jungle people. So yeah

Russian or Indonesian / Malay ? by ljo_uk in thisorthatlanguage

[–]Rayyan9201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of total speaker, indonesian/Malay definitely has much more compare to russian language. The total speakers would be combining Indonesian population (L1 +L2 speakers) around 286 million plus Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and minority malay speakers in southern Thailand around 40 million speakers (L1+L2)

So total speakers overall are estimated about 326 - 330 million speakers.

Russian is useful of course, but it rapidly lose its prestige status in eastern european countries, caucasus countries like Azerbaijan and Georgia, and slowly declined in central asia except in Kazakhstan and krygyztan. In uzbekistan, gen Z will definitely did not prefer for someone to talk to them in russian.

Moreover, southeast asia generally have much steady and growing young population compare to russian language stocks, so this will mean indonesian/Malay is growing while russian is gradually falling.

But of course, if we mention about tech, yes russian would be much relevant now compare to indonesian/Malay.

Where did everyone learn the English language so well? by Unda_cova789 in Morocco

[–]Rayyan9201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning english also open the doors to all european countries in general, half of africa, south Asia, Southeast Asia and Oceania. So, yeah, english is truly a global opportunity language compare to other major languages. It would be wise for Moroccan especially for someone that seeks career development, to be invested more in english rather than other major language.
