DC Comics gets trolled by speakers of 'Pakistanian' language

DC Comics meet Google.

Pakistanis are having a field day on Twitter and DC Comics can take all the credit. Comic book enthusiast Khaver Siddiqi tweeted an image from DC Comics’ recent release Superman/Wonderwoman Annual #2 to point out a slight issue with the text. Can you spot the mistake?

'Pakistanian' is not a language. It’s not even a word. Pakistanis speak Urdu among numerous other languages, last we checked. A Google search could have saved DC from the embarrassment, but it was simply too late.

Pakistanian: the language all of us Pakistanians spoke in Homeland Season 4
