Estimates suggest that about 90 % of children who speak over 60 indigenous languages do not have access to education in their mother tongues. Linguists estimate that exclusive teaching of Urdu and English subjects the indigenous languages to physical endangerment as well as negative perceived vitality. This study investigated the language management techniques, practices and discourses of the school authorities about indigenous languages and linguistic diversity, and its effects on perceptions of the students. The study used the theoretical framework of governmentality as introduced by Foucault in The foucault effect: studies in governmentality with two lectures by and an interview with Michael Foucault, Harvester Wheatsheaf, London, (<span style="border:0px;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;outline:0px;display:inline">1991</span>), which not only focuses on the direct acts of the governing of the state apparatuses, but also addresses the indirect acts of governance that shape individual behaviors. Deploying a mixed methodology that used students of high secondary level, teachers and school principals as sampling in 11 low-fee English-medium private schools in Quetta, Pakistan, the findings suggest that school authorities exercise stringent techniques such as notices, wall paintings, penalties and occasional punishment to suppress the use of languages other than Urdu or English. Mostly, the students also show compliance to the top-down policies. Most of participants perceive indigenous languages as worthless because of their lesser role in professional development and social mobility. The study concludes that the governance methods displace the indigenous languages both physically as well as perceptually. The prevailing orientations look upon languages as commodities, profoundly downgrading the cultural, literary, aesthetic and sociolinguistic dynamics of the indigenous languages.</div></div><br> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">From:</span></b> "<a href="mailto:lgpolicy-list-request@groups.sas.upenn.edu">lgpolicy-list-request@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a>" <<a href="mailto:lgpolicy-list-request@groups.sas.upenn.edu">lgpolicy-list-request@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a>><br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">To:</span></b> <a href="mailto:lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu">lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a> <br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Sent:</span></b> Saturday, December 13, 2014 8:45 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject:</span></b> lgpolicy-list Digest, Vol 68, Issue 17<br> </font> </div> <div><br>Send lgpolicy-list mailing list submissions to<br> <a>lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a><br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br> <a>https://groups.sas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/lgpolicy-list</a><br>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br> <a>lgpolicy-list-request@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a><br><br>You can reach the person managing the list at<br> <a>lgpolicy-list-owner@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a><br><br>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>than "Re: Contents of lgpolicy-list digest..."<br><br><br>Today's Topics:<br><br> 1.
