Abstract
This study investigates the complex dynamics of language within Pakistani society, centering on perceptions and experiences related to language dominance and proficiency. Despite English being acknowledged as a dominant language, the study uncovers unexpected trends challenging conventional expectations. Utilizing a quantitative method of research design involving students for collection of data. This investigation sheds light on linguistic discrimination, emphasizing its prevalence and impact on social interactions and perceptions of intelligence against the assumption of superior access to English resources for males, the study uncovers nuanced language strategies. Males, despite potential access, often prefer subordinate language, while females strategically incorporate English elements. The perceived correlation between linguistic skills, power, and social influence prompts a reevaluation of traditional gender roles. The perception that males are more competent or authoritative when using English is reinforced by a prevailing belief that language abilities, especially in English, are evaluated through a gendered lens in Pakistani society.
