Re: Why Punjabis Do Not Speak Punjabi With Their Kids
^ We are talking about spoken language not script, yes in Pakistan we use "Urdu/Arabic" script or "Shah Mukhi" (spoken by Kings) to write the Punjabi dialect.
Can you tell me when was the term 'Shah Mukhi' coined ? I am hearing it for the first time.
Braj, Punjabi, Pothwari, Urdu/Hindi, Hindko, Multani, Sindhi etc. are all mutually intelligible so they are dialects of the same language and they all have their roots in Pakistan and a bit of NW India. I know Rroma, Gujarati, Bengali etc. are also related and one can get a jist of the conversation but they're not mutually intelligible so I class them as seperate languages..
