Talk:National symbols of Pakistan/Archive 1

Questions:

• "National amphibian" (National frog???)
• "National reptile"
• "National river"
• "National mountain"
• "National marine mammal"
• "Natioinal vegetable"
• "National document"
• "National Song (Patriotic)"

Some of these sound like an obvious hoax, often quite ridiculously so. So, I'd request citations for them. Please. Thanks. --Ragib 00:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Certianly some of the entires are hoax.e.g. the entry national fruit states amb(mango). Although mango may rightly be the national fruit, "amb" is not even an Urdu word for mango. The word come from Punjabi and definitely it was never declared by Pakistani government that "amb" is the natioanl fruit. I am removing this entry for the least.Awais 13:25, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Similarly "national reptile" is translated as "Qaumi MagarMach", which stands for "national crocodile" in Urdu. Indus is called "Sindh" in Urdu, not "Sindhu" which is much more of a local language name/nickname. National marine mammal is translated as "Qaumi machlee" which infact stands for "national fish". Indeed these are ridiculous.Awais 13:33, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
