Sindsagar.. go through the whole thread (especially responses of members from Punjab) that will give you the concept why I raised this question. I do have friends from Punjab, but they all avoid speaking Punjabi in their families and never read Punjabi as a subject.

Aalim Fazil is not the conventional mode of education, if it covers Punjabi as a medium of instruction. Do we have a separate transcript for Punjabi in Pakistan?

Yes you are right Punjabi is the proverbial third wheel, most City dwellers prefer to speak Urdu since it is taught at the Primary to Matric level, I attended English medium schools but always spoke Punjabi at home.

Punjabi is written with persian script just like Urdu.

The only advantage and that too a very distinct one for Punjabi is the Cuss Words! I know most Urdu Speakers pick up on the Punjabi Cuss words very fast…
