Re: Punjabi Dialects?

That opinion was given by Dr Fateh Muhamamd (a critic and linguistic) just after when Indian Punjab’s CM advised Pervez Ilahi to introuce Punjabi as a medium of instruction at primary level education in Punjab (like Indian Punjab does). Dr Saab considered it conspiracy against Urdu and went on to prove that Urdu is basically modern Punjabi. I’ll share extracts from that article shortly

I meant relation between hega and hoga :smack:

I tend to agree that punjabi preceded urdu… but i am all for introduction of punjabi in schools… this dr. saab needs to be sent to jail for his punjab-dushmani and urdu chaploosiness :mad:

Re: Punjabi Dialects?

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?

Punjabi is very sweet and funny language. But if one who don't understand the punjabi words/meaning then he/she will find it offensive and think that another person is invective him/her. :D

Re: Punjabi Dialects?

What constitutes a dialect and what constitutes a language is a fuzzy issue. A dialect is often called a language with no army and navy (meaning no country). There are some languages that would be considered dialects if they didn't have a country of their own.

I'm not saying this applies to this thread though lol

I believe its in faisalabad and Toba tek Singh and Indian Punjab.

Re: Punjabi Dialects?

When they say 'Do-aaba' with reference to Punjabi dialect, it means do-aaba of Satlaj and Biyas.. so people in Pakistani areas might not be speaking in this dialect before partition. After partition, the dialects overlapped

Re: Punjabi Dialects?

Maybe people of this area crossed over to faisalabad region, this fact has always fascinated me.

Re: Punjabi Dialects?

There is definitely a Gujranwala accent and dialect. All my life I've seen my Lahore born mother and Khalas making fun their Gujranwala native Sister in law's way of speaking (behind her back of course). I know she definitely has an accent, not sure how different her dialect is. What's really quite interesting is that despite spending almost 35 + years in the US and staying in Lahore for extended interval periods, her Gujranwala accent is still so raw and strong. It's like she never left Gujranwala.

There's definitely an inner Lahore and urban Lahore Punjabi accent as well.
