You're the one who first called it a "compound" in this thread.

"Now that the initial euphoria has passed, I like to know what Pakistan has to say about this. A compound with 18 ft. walls and barbed wires...."
"That's my point. Now that I see the pictures, if accurate, it doesn't look anything like a compound. It is a dilapitated cinder block home..."

People in Pakistan don't use the word "compound" so I doubt they have anything to say about it at all. :bunny:

Given that Urdu and English are the two main languages spoken in Pakistan I imagine they use the word compound and complex quite often.
"Pakistan is a multilingual country with more than sixty languages being spoken. English is the official language of Pakistan and used in official business, government, and legal contracts"
