A young Pakistani girl has captured the hearts of social media users worldwide with her remarkable language skills. Despite never attending school, Shumaila fluently speaks six languages: Urdu, English, Saraiki, Punjabi, Pashto, and Chitrali. Shumaila, who earns a living by selling peanuts, sunflower seeds, and other snacks in Lower Dir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, was discovered by Pakistani YouTuber Zeeshan Shabbir, also known as Doctor Zeeshan. He met the young girl while filming a vlog near the iconic Lowari Tunnel, a scenic route connecting Dir and Chitral through the Hindu Kush mountains.
Videos of their interaction have gone viral, showcasing Shumaila's impressive language abilities and charming personality. When Mr Shabbir asks Shumaila to introduce herself, she answers with remarkable confidence and poise. "My father speaks 14 languages, and I can speak six. I don't go to school; my father teaches me at home," she says.
She then goes on to promote her products saying, "I am selling peanuts and sunflower seeds. Tell me if you want to buy something."
