It all started in the country where my parents were born, Pakistan.

Pakistan is a country in South Asia next to India. It is the 6th most populous country in the world with around 188.9 million people as their population. Now that's a lot of people! This country's major religion is Islam with around 95-98%. The rest is the remaining religions. (Hinduism, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, etc.) Their official sport is field hockey but squash and cricket are very popular there too. Clothing that is usually worn in Pakistan are salwar kameez. Kurtas, Achkan, and Sherwani are also worn in Pakistan as well. There are more than 60 muical instruments that were made and played from Pakistan. For instance: the mangey, tabla, alghoza, chimta, ghungroo, and more!

Pakistan has amazing and delicious food. Some include: Biryani, Daal, Haleem, Naan, Lassi, Kulfi, Halwa, Ras Malai, Kheer, Rice, etc. These food tend to be spicy and mouthwatering.

Pakistan is one of those countries with the education system made up of 6 parts. The first part is Preschool (Ages 3 to 5). Next is primary (grades one through five). Then middle school (grades six through eight); high school (grades nine and ten). Intermediate (grade 11 to 12). Finally, University programs for undergraduating and graduate degrees.

Art is very popular in Pakistan. It is said that Art in Pakistan has gone back for at least 5000 years.There are lots of different types of arts. Some include: literature, paintings, and more! There also lots of famous artists in Pakistan too. In particular, Sufi Waqar, Habib Burkie, Ayesha Siddiqui, Zubaida Agha,  Iqbal Ahmed, and a whole

lot more!

Although, Urdu is

Pakistan's main language,

There are also other languages used in Pakistan and it all depends on which you're living in. If you live in Punjab, it's more likely to speak Urdu and Punjabi. If you live in the sindh region, you'll most likely speak Sindhi. It all depends on the region. But in all regions the offical language is Urdu.
