Re: Why Punjabis Do Not Speak Punjabi With Their Kids
People embarrassed about speaking punjabi is moslty a west punjab phenomnon. In indian punjab, the sikhs take pride in their language and make great efforts to teach it to their kids. This sikh i use to work for tought his daughters writing and reading punjabi BEFORE they even went to school and learnt english. He and his wife only spoke punjabi to them. As a result his daughters could speak and understand punjabi when they were 4-5 years old that my cousins who were in their early teens couldnt :(
