What? lol

Punjabi was in use way before Urdu was brought into the mix. Speaking of the mix, the language Urdu itself is a mixture of lots of different spoken languages of Subcontinent, so how can you say it’s the mother tongue of Punjabis?

Yes indeed Punjabi is perhaps the easiest language to learn if you are primarily an Urdu speaker but to say Urdu is a mother tongue of Punjabi is so factually incorrect on so many levels. It makes no at all. Besides, isn’t proper formal and old Urdu supposed to be quite heavily persianised?

LOL and why would you say that. Punjabi preceded urdu by centuries. However one thing is for sure, urdu emereged from hindustani, by getting persianised, arabised, which shares the same structure as Punjabi.
