Chart

@Wikibear47 Why should a language chart be used on the lead of an ethnicity article? This chart is also misleading as it doesn't include the language data of disputed territories currently administered by Pakistan (Azad Kashmir, gilgit baltistan) and claims for example there are 0.001 Shina/balti speakers which is not true Axedd (talk) 19:27, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Axedd The language chart actually represents different ethnic groups speaking these languages. I agree with you that it's not perfect, but on the other hand, it's not entirely incorrect. I would rather see this one replaced with something more accurate but until that happens I think it should stay. However if consensus is formed to remove then I'm OK with it.

Ethnic groups in Pakistan

During the 9 of the 16 years I worked as a missionary in the Sindh Province of South-East Pakistan, I was in contact with a number of ethnic groups which are not mentioned in your article. They are: Kutchi Kohlis, Parkari Kohlis, Marwari Bhils and Megwars. There are hundreds of thousands of these tribal people in Sindh. I hope it may be possible to include these groups in a future edit of this very helpful article. With kindest regards, Fr. Mark Connolly 78.145.57.167 (talk) 18:15, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Parkari Kolhis, Bhils, Meghwals with exception of Kutchi Kohlis can be wikilinked here. - Ratnahastin (talk) 19:09, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Urdu in ethnic compositions circle diagram should be changed to "Urdu-speaking muhajirs" as Urdu on its own is just a language and makes no sense in the context of an ethnic composition map. Urdu is not an ethnicity. 2001:56A:F07F:CB00:979:935B:2405:FC1D (talk) 07:03, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
