Cool seeing all the Pashto in here. Very hard to find resources to learn.

Someone earlier in the thread was asking about if we Indian Punjabis say “be/bebe” for mother. You find this word used mostly in Villages among those pendu people. See examples

There are lots of cool differences between Pakistani Punjabi and Indian Punjabi. Like in Doabi Dialect (Spoken in Jalandhar) we say the word Kunji for chabi (key). Malwa Punjabi uses different words, just as Majhi Punjabi uses different words. You find different words in Potwari and Seraiki and Mirpuri and Hindko, etc.

In some Punjabi spoken in Pakistan, they pronounce gh as gh and dh as dh, etc. Where as in most Indian Punjabi we pronounce Gh as K at the beginning of a word (Ghar-Kar) and as G in the middle of a word, or Dh as T in the beginning of a word (Dharti-Tarti) or as D in the middle of a word, or shorten oo to u. Just like in some Punjabi in Pakistan they end sentences in wa, not hai/e. Some Punjabi speakers say Intezaar, others say Udeek (Wait), so we can see there are so many dialects for Punjabi :biggthumb:

Another difference is that some Punjabis will say si where as others say sigey/siga like, main othe giya si. we can also say main main soch rahe siga, etc.
