Re: Why Punjabis Do Not Speak Punjabi With Their Kids
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.
No they arent. What kind of Urdu/Punjabi have you been hearing?
The Urdu that people speak in Punjab itself is full of Punjabi words and gramatical constructs....I think a lot of Punjabi speakers have a tendency to blend the two languages together, especially if theyre from an urban area. Karachi Urdu, however, is largely unintelligible from Punjabi...and definitely has very little in common with Sindhi.
