  Whenever it comes to learn something, language is considered as the essential limb. Whether it is concerned with education, literature, culture, art or skill. If one has not command over the language one could not express and learn appropriately.

  Learning more languages is helpful to learn more things but it becomes a curse and barrier in the learning process, when it is not appropriately learned. In simple terms, if a student does not understand the language spoken by the teacher in class-room then ideas and information can’t be passed long. Pakistan is one of 44 countries with large number of population, without access to education in mother tongue.

  Language remains along with humans from cradle to death.  A child has to learn language, so that he could learn survival manners and societal culture. Moreover a child grows with innovative ideas and his native language becomes a mean for demonstration. If children are not allowed to speak in their native language a bulk of ideas can be killed. Language barriers also impact negatively learners, as they can cause frustration. Learner may feel inadequate, shameful and sad for not being able to understand. Second language learners feel a fear to express themselves and concern that they will be mocked if they will  try to speak in a new language, that's all can cause emotional stress and may interfere with learning.

 Education is an essential source of learning which is also can be used for progress of human being in terms of emotions, intellectual  physical and spiritual. Education allows one to spend a peaceful and happy life. But it could be possible if there is a language barriers in education system. These barriers arise when different languages are spoken. Everyone has its own language belongs to different regions, and ethnicity.  For instance: Siraeki, Dhatki, Balochi etc. .These all languages are spoken together, there will be must a confliction  over misunderstanding of concept or   certain meaning of the word.

During colonial era of Britain in subcontinent language policy in education was that Urdu was the educational medium of general masses while English for elite .This colonial era policy was crucial and criticize earlier in 1880 for severely divorcing the people of Punjab from their sociolinguistic roots. Punjabi speakers were not educated in Punjabi and their lost approach from their folk knowledge. Meanwhile Hindu Punjab were not educated and conscious  in Sanskrit and Punjabi Muslims were not educated in Persian, so that both groups lost contact with literary sources of their cultures.

Language is also deeply concerned with education. Generally,  in school college and universities course schemes are organized in that language which are not native. If students have no grip over language in which students are learning, it will be not only stressful to learn but also refrain to generate creative ideas. The Global Monitoring Report On Education For All In 2015, reveals that worldwide the choice of language instructions and language policy in schools is critical for effective learning.

 A conclusive point of a  research under British council namely “ Teaching and Learning in Pakistan: Role of language in Education” enumerates that  if children become literate in their home language first than later learning of foreign language or second language ( e.g. English, Chinese) is likely to be more successful than if the foreign language than or second  language is used as the medium of instruction.

  Although arts or skill is not directly concerned with language, but it can be demonstrated through the language, inform of instructions, techniques, tips and tricks. If one loss the focus from all these elements whether expressed or written in during learning, owing to poor linguistic skills. Obviously, it will resist the learner.

Language is an important part of culture and nation. It connects people together and helps to learn and understand their culture, history, and literature. Likewise, Sindh has broad culture, literature, and history. There is number of people who do not understand the Sindhi language, so they remain deprived and unconscious about such elements.

  These barriers can be replaced by technology. Translation is an activity of communication between languages through which one can learn anything concerned with education, literature, history, art and other things. Individually it can be done through online translators. This way, mighty ideas could be prevented from devastation and defend from imposing of foreign language.
