Good thread :k:

When we guys in East Punjab refer to Saraiki, we call it Pakistani Punjabi or Mitti Boli (Sweet Language). I actually learned that this “Sweet Language” is called Saraiki a few years ago lol. Do you native speaks also call it Saraiki? Or do you use the older names like Bawahalpuri or Multani etc?

Then I became a huge fan of Lala ji and wanted to learn this language. Fun fact, it seems native speakers spell it as Saraiki, while linguists and foreigners spell it as Siraiki or Seraiki. Depending who you talk to, they’ll tell you it’s a separate language, a dialect of punjabi or a dialect of sindhi even. All I know, is that it really is a “Sweet Language” . I wish it was easier to find people to help me learn/resources to learn from. So far I’ve been watching telefilms on YouTube hahaha. Thankfully it’s quite similar to Punjabi and Hindi, so I understand quite a good bit of it. I think I’ll post some Saraiki muhaware in one of the topics here now lol

I am pleased to know about your appreciation and love for SARAIKI. Yes, it’s always attributed for its sweetness and ease to speak. Infact, when u speak it, u’ll find it very light and fluent to pronounce .

As with all languages, unless u learn it from its native source, u can’t master it’s actual dialect.
