Why Punjabis Do Not Speak Punjabi With Their Kids

Re: Why Punjabis Do Not Speak Punjabi With Their Kids

If u read Kalam of Baba Farid Gunj Shakkar, which he wrote in 12th century, few hundred years before the advent of urdu, u'll come across following words:
"Likhey"
"Dikha"
"Laiy" (Ley in urdu)
"Haddaan" (Hadiyaan in urdu)
"Kanni" (Kaan in urdu)

This just a tiny example, the legend has it that Punjabi has contrubuted 5000 words to urdu.
