Re: Why Punjabis Do Not Speak Punjabi With Their Kids
You do not know the real Punjabi, hence this misconception. Its like me listening to Peshawar TV channel and think thta Pushto is like Urdu. The other day i was watching PTV Peshawar and the dude was using all urdu words interpersed with Pushto verbs. Like, "Da Shairaana ahsasaat di wa shairaana mahsoosaat di"
Punjabi is an ancient language. Urdu is just 500 years old and originated in Mughal courts while, Baba Farid was writing Punjabi poetry, nearly a thousand years ago.
So its Urdu that has taken its roots from Punjabi and not the other way round.
You are absolutely right.
