Re: Punjabi Dialects?
How would you describe the Jalandhar Punjabi? My maternal grandmother is a native of Jalandhar and I’m under this impression that she speaks the hardcore Punjabi with proper Punjabi vocabulary. I mean, to this day, she still uses the word *jaananiyaan (zananiyaan) *for women as oppose to ortaan, the word most Pakistani Punjabis like to use.
There are so many little words and phrases she use that you wouldn’t really find in manstream Lahori Punjabi.
