Re: Lets learn local languages
Oh man you got me going again here with the oldies. I just stopped listening to these songs like 2 hours back. 
You ever listen to Masood Rana (I’m also a Rana!) or Ahmed Rushdie?
Re: Lets learn local languages
Yes I listened to almost all famous Pakistani Singers. I did a thread on Pakistani pop Music a year ago.

Re: Lets learn local languages
What a helpful thread. Went ahead and made a post about a question I've had for ages.
On to the topic subject, I'm actually needing to learn Potwari/Mirpuri, Hindko/Pishori Punjabi, Seraiki/Multani as I'm doing some work with Punjabi and Punjabi Dialects (Me and a bunch of people are creating resources in cooperation with some Universities)
Anyone know of resources/interested in helping?
