I always found it sweet when someone in Punjab call their parents as ‘Bee ji, Miyan Ji’. Bebe is also lovely word for mother in Punjabi.
We in Sindh use different words while addressing mother like Amma, Ammar, Jeejal and for father Baba Sain.
Share how do you address to your parents in your languages.

Thanks Devi Ji for sharing. Is there a particular area of Punjab, where these terms 'Mian Ji and Bee ji' used?

Thats intersting that people other than Punjabi also used these words. There is also 'Daa ji' probably used in Punjab and KP for addressing father.
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
daa ji is coomon in indian community i think
n some ppl say bay g besides bee g
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
I remember this drama from Peshawer where they call their mother ‘Bebe’ and father ‘Daa ji’
PS: Its really funny and must watch drama. 
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji

Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
Waisay miyaan ji kyoon kehtay hain woh to wives husbands ko kehti hain 
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
Miyan is a term for respect, as we say Allah Miyan and equal to Sain in Sindhi as we say Allah Sain.
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
My parents called their grandparents "Maa Jee/Miyan Jee". My parents called their parents "Aami jee/Abu Jee" and that is what I refer to my grandparents as. I call my parents "Aami/Abu". Now I see my nephew (brother's son) calling my parents Aami/Abu. However, my other nephew (sister's son) will, InshAllah, be saying Maa Jee and Miyaan Jee when he starts speaking fluently. It was either that or it would have been Nani jee/Nana jee.
My nephews call their parents Mama/Baba.
Its interesting how what we choose to address our parents changes every generation.
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
We called our nana "baba" which is what my mom and her siblings called him...my nani is "nani ammi" and my mom's elder sister "Khala Ammi".... I never saw my dada, but my dadi was "Amma" which is what everyone called her....
We also have the term "Ammanee" (not sure if I'm spelling it correctly!) which is what we called my Nana's sister...this term is used alot in Hyderabad for grandmothers/elder female relatives.
I called my parents Papa & Ammi, my husband also called his dad Papa...so that's what our boys call him
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
I like calling others i.e. sindhi fellow as ‘Saai’ 
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
We used to call our teachers and Molvi Saa'in :D
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
Saai is very sweet and respected word, i think.
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
Saai is very sweet and respected word, i think.
yes it is equivalent of Sir, but more melodious than that. It is also used as Baba Sain, Ada Sain, Dada Sain.
Re: Bee Ji, Miyan Ji
oky I heard even called by saying 'Sain Sain' twice. Does it means something?
