I think about this all the time. I hope to God that my kids will know pashto, russian, and urdu… but I seriously doubt thats gonna happen :bummer:

I'm gonna be majorly sad. I'm punjabi, and yeah i can't come up with bhangra lyrics and my vocabulary isn't all that great, I taught myself how to read and write in both urdu and punjabi so I can pass it down.

It can be really sad..I think about it.My parents spoke Urdu to us but speak Punjabi with each other.Pushto was lost in our family. We as a family speak in Urdu(apart from when really angry:halo:)My husband speaks Siraiki but doesnt with the kids, neither do I speak Punjabi .
It is saddening that we loose our mother tongues. I wish I could try to revive it with our kids..I am trying though:(

urdu is good enough. But kids in our family eventually start speaking provincial language.(when they grow up)
