Native Language

[AbuMalik]

As most from South Asia origin, we know we have multiplicity of languages like hindi, urdu, tamil, telugu and so on. However, most of us are more familiar with the English language than our own native language.

In this case, is it better to mention that our native language is English on the immigration document or the local language ??

Can anyone advise, what you guys are opting for

Best Regards
