Abstract
The present study is an exploratory and descriptive investigation into several dimensions related to language use in the Urdu-speaking context. The research is focused on discerning the preferences of certain individuals to utilize the English language when conversing in Urdu, examining the consequential impact of English language usage on the economic security of individuals, quantifying the prevalence of English code-switching during Urdu communication in Pakistan, and assessing the ramifications of English code-switching on the vitality of the Urdu language. This study adopted a quantitative research design. The collected data underwent rigorous quantitative analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The present study investigated the nuanced dynamics influencing language choice, revealing a complex interplay of psychological factors rooted in the legacy of British colonialism. Notably, the findings underscored that the individuals perceived English as a source of economic security.
