Punjabi, Sindhi, Balochi, Pashto, etc.
Basic introductory sentences (Wahts your name? How are you? Where are you from?, etc) and name of common things (fruits, vegetable and other kitchen items), counting (ginti), etc.
Starting: What’s your name?
In Sindhi : Tuhinjo naalo chhaa aahay?
Re: Lets learn local languages
Awesome thread! 
In Potowari “what is your name?” would be like this.
“Tuwara ke naa ya?”
It is very simmilar to Punjabi, where it would be like this…
“Thwada kee na yaa?”
In Pashto it would be like
“Staa num sta dhe?”
Re: Lets learn local languages
So In Pashto: staa = kia and sta= your?
Re: Lets learn local languages
Yes thats right.
Its heard to get the pronounciation right but the Staa for Kia has more of a sibilant sound. Like a snake ssss
While the Sta for your is a quick sound made like exhaling air... sta like you shoot the word from your mouth. Staa like saying it slower sssttttaaa :)

Re: Lets learn local languages
Za feeogam Pashto for I understand :)
Re: Lets learn local languages
is it like faarsi ast?
Re: Lets learn local languages
Yes very simmilar to Farsi. Pashto is a polyglot language that is made up of bits of other languages as well like Urdu in some respects.
I'll dfinately be visiting this thread later, but for now you may notice the simialrity in both Pashto and Farsi in the words for "farewell and God be with you"
"Da khoday pa amaan"

Re: Lets learn local languages
We had a friend in college from Pindi and they used to speak Potohari in their home. Someone told us (may be joke) that there are many English words used in Potohari, like for ‘ooper aao’ it was something like ‘Up aao’. 
Re: Lets learn local languages
I gotta say I’m absolutely loving this thread
Re: Lets learn local languages
I am not fammialiar with that situation but I imagine people coming to Mirpur and Potowar from England and America must have bought back these interesting hybrid terms.
However we all know one language is never enough.
Kabee bee ik zubaan kafee naheen hot 
Yawa zabha heskla bus nada (Pashto)
Iko zubaan kadey kafi ni hondi (Punjabi/Potwari)
Re: Lets learn local languages
I think it was meant to be a joke 
As far as I know it would be upar ach(o) in Pothwari?
