Virtual keyboard

how to use virtual keybaord means on-screen keyboard in Zorin OS 16?

I believe in Gnome it is called onboard and can be launched from the Settings > accessibility screen. Of from alt+F2 keyboard shortcut and typing in onboard and hitting enter.
If this does not work, you may need to install it:

sudo apt install -y onboard

From your screenshot, it looks like your Local Region and Language is set to English (US).
I believe that this is why it is defaulting to English.
I agree, though... If your local language was set to Urdu, would the keyboard not switch to English when you need it?

You may try Florence Keyboard.

Here is a Configuration Guide for keyboard (Ubuntu):

Here is a guide to replace OnBoard with Florence:
