Re: Punjabi

Punjabi has the same standing as ebonics; thats why you will never see any educated individual conversing in such an ucouth language. It would be similar to hearing a scientist saying:
“Yo, these particles be mov’d at high fast speed for sure, because they keeps it real homeslice, y’ah understand whut I’m sayin’?”

Its just not going to happen. Although punjabi is a good language for clowns and comedians:

Re: Punjabi

Punjabis of pakistan who are educated dont use punjabi at their home as rightly pointed out by someone punjabi is only surviving because of sikhs.By the way educated hindu punjabis of india prefer hindi over punjabi .punjabi hindus of haryana and himachal pradesh mainly speak hindi.But I fail to understand why an educated sikh loves to speak punjabi and a muslim punjabi(not all) would avoid punjabi

I am from karachi and believe me the urdu accent,words and pronounciation of many urdu speaking karachites is not any way close to standard.Words like chirand,fatigee etc are use by the people living in the lower class and lower middle class localities of karachi.kya kariya hai hai bay kahan ja raha hai bay tu,demag ki dhai bana dee hai tunay.'karkhandari' style of urdu is very improper.language of dhobis and qasai is also improper.Education somehow improves your language and vocabulary.

Re: Punjabi

so i just asked my mom a question "do u think punjabi is rude"
she replied "noooo punjabi to barey khuley dil kay malik hotey hain, it's sweet"

both my parents are punjabi, although they grew up in Karachi. mom mostly spoke Urdu but heard punjabi from her parents as well. my dad speaks punjabi very well and they both think it's a sweet and expressive language. urdu has it's own respect, it is wonderful indeed but i think punjabi is a lot of fun to speak.but phati i see wat ur saying, i kno a lot of ppl that think punjabi is rude. but i believe the more languages one knows, the better. i often wonder abt the next generation as well. if we r so ignorant to our own culture, wat will our children be like? i told my parents i wanted to learn punjabi and that's all my dad speaks with me now. i personally think punjabi is very sweet and cheerful. u kno how there r a lot of things we say in urdu that just can't be said in english with the same emotion. same with punjabi to urdu, it can't be compared.

Re: Punjabi

I live in the Usa and I grew up speaking english and urdu, but I can still understand and even speak punjabi although, I am not an expert at it. Its a matter of your own effort because my parents never spoke punjabi with eachother or with me, but I still managed to learn it, hearing from other people.
