Language use in family domain depends upon prevalent patterns across threegenerations, gender status, education and residence of native speakers. They are also important indicators of language vitality and language loss. The present study employed theoretical framework of language use patterns in family and compared groups with different levels of literacy and geographic locations of speakers of Pothwari and Pahari language in the urban/rural suburbs of Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan. The findings of the study are based on the data gathered from the speakers (N= 297) who had moved to the city in search of better economic gains. A fourpoint Likert was employed to compute language use and language choice in family domain. It included language use patterns across grandparents, parents and siblings. The participants of the study were purposively selected through cross-sectional technique. The results of t test and ANOVA showed statistically significant variation across all the tested variables on the scale of language use patterns in the Pothwari and Pahari families. The findings also revealed inverse relation between the level of bilingual education and use of local language in the family domain.
