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…

Urdu speakers sometimes use these words without knowing meaning of the words

For me Punjabi got big treasure of Sufi poetry.
