Code-mixing and code-switching in bilingual countries including Pakistan, are very common phenomena. We can observe this in media, and in our daily use of language. The aim of this research is to highlight the case of code mixing of English with Urdu in Pakistan which has actually replaced the words from Urdu, and the vocabulary from Urdu is endangered due to the over-use of certain English words. For this study the data was collected from different resources i.e. through media news channels, F.M Radio, newspapers, questionnaires, and interviews. This research might help in spreading awareness among the linguists, language teachers, the common man, and the authorities involved in making language policies. The study highlights a very important socio-linguistic phenomenon that due to the excessive use of English words Urdu might loose a considerable number of vocabulary items from Urdu forever.
