The discourse on linguistic diversity in the Pakistani province of Sindh is dominated by the historical struggle of native Sindhi speakers for recognition of their language as one of a national and provincial language. While the struggle of Sindhi and other languages of Pakistan continue to receive constitutional recognition and protection, linguists and IT experts of Sindh have made significant progress in making Sindhi language compatible with the digital world. Sindhi language has made major advancements in order to be known as a modern and surviving language in the digital age.

On the other hand, linguistic diversity of Sindh has been undermined by the political debate and discourse around Sindhi as a national language in addition to Urdu. There are many languages in Sindh which are not fully recognised, developed and protected. Debates around demographic supremacy of Sindhi language have halted the progress of other languages and dialects of Sindh, such as Gujrati, Marwari, Dhatki, Oadki and others.

This paper argues that while advancements of Sindhi language as a modern language of in a digital age is commendable progress that should continue to expand, its benefits need to be extended to other languages which are facing extinction in Sindh, and as a result undermining the rich cultural and linguistic diversity of the region.
