Sindhi and English belong to two sub branches of Indo-European language family; west-Germanic and Indo-Aryan. Sindhi speakers have remained in contact with English for 175 years -directly during British rule (1843 A.D to 1947 A.D) and indirectly after 1947. Like other parts of the world, English enjoys the status of an official and prestigious language in Pakistan. In the domain of Education, English has great importance. It is taught mostly as a second language, from primary to tertiary level, in all over the country, including Sindh. However, it has been observed that the native Sindhi speakers find it difficult as a second language. This research paper presents a brief comparative linguistic sketch of English and Sindhi languages. The purpose of the study is to highlight the linguistic commonalities and differences between the two languages. For this study, the content analysis method is applied on linguistic structures i.e. phonetic sketch, descriptive morphology and syntax of the two languages. The results have been drawn on the basis of linguistic commonalities and differences. The analytical results clearly reveal that the Sindhi and English have comparatively less linguistic commonalities, whereas, they have more differences in phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon. The native Sindhi speakers, especially students of different levels will be the prime beneficiaries of this study.
