Now that we have taken up to produce literature in
various languages of Pakistan the work of the editorial department is also
taking new dimensions and challenges. For Sindhi language we had to stretch
ourselves from Lahore and were quite demanding but we were able to accomplish
the job. This is the first regional language that we took up and it was a great
experience. We were able to successfully produce the primer and other follow-up
books as well as the teaching charts and flash cards. This experience will help
us enormously when we lay our hands on other languages of Pakistan. It may be
noted that following languages are in the pipeline:
|
 |
Seraiki |
|
 |
Hindko |
|
 |
Pashto, and |
|
 |
Punjabi |
