@HappinessMark!
I don't really give for your Seraiki nationalism. You're entitled to your beliefs and you're right that it is difficult for a standard Punjabi speaker from Lahore or Amritsar to understand Seraiki but the same applies to Pothohari and Pahari dialects up north. That's because the dialect is very localized and not spoken much elsewhere save for diaspora Seraiki speakers.
Bro, you hold your belief and we ours...
Saraiki is the fourth most widely spoken language in Pakistan after Punjabi, Pashto, and Sindhi; and within Punjab Province it is one of the two major languages. Saraiki is ranked 52nd largest language of the world. I remeber that it was in earlier 3rd biggest in Pakistan it was 14% and Sindhi was 15%...but in recent census it's gone down...
Saraiki language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't need to prove, but 13.5 million Sarikis think it is different...Interestingly that these punjabi and Sarikis are so rival as noted in 65 years that they would hardly make intermarriages, believe me (If they are same, then it would interesting)
but they are no such majority...and Sarikies are being punished when They were having their a big independent state in British india (Bahwalpur) throughout the British rule and before...but this was annexed with Punjab....Sarikies have 17% literacy rate whilst upper Punjab has 68 % or more (I don't remember exactly)...mostly development are on upper Punajb side...Seraiki but the same applies to Pothohari and Pahari dialects up north

This is the reason why Southern Punjab due to lack of literacay rate and poverty and oppression is big terrorists factory...
After seeing the prejudice of media(DAWN etc), I would not mind if they don't accept Sarikies rights then it should be a different country (sometimes I think after seeing their bigotness when they say that administrative units whilst many who are less than Sarikies have already their provinces on language base...MORONS)...
May Allah bless pakistan and make my fellow countrymen to accept others rights as well like they enjoy for themselves...otherwise many BD are already on their way
Only our rivals have to seee through the hole they have left for 65 years and they would come to fill the gap (sadly)...
