“linguistic aspects”. Body language,
Pakistan is another Islamic country and in Muslim cultures verses a non-Islamic country because religious beliefs play a role as well. Looks and hand signals that are considered friendly in the United States but they are aggressive in Pakistan culture. You have to be very careful about looks and specially hand signals because it is impolite and inappropriate. In addition, eye contact is appropriate, a handshake polite in the U.S but they both considered as rude in Pakistani culture. You are not suppose to look at people directly to their eyes or make an eye contact especially when you are talking to apposite gender. Sometimes it is even offensive for a man to look a woman in the eye or even to glance at her.
There is a very interesting link that i have attache, it shows the body language and how people talk in Pakistan.
