Language in these songs isn't like Lahori Punjabi right
in Lahore I used to think their language is Urdu but they are trying to speak Punjabi but can't speak and are speaking a mix of Punjabi and Urdu

Pakistani Punjabi movies in the past usually used "Gujranwala/Sheikhupura/Sialkot" rural language, that is why it is crude and sound totally different than typical "urban punjabi" of lahoris which is indeed highly mixed with Urdu. All the story plots of Old Punjabi "badmash movies" were from our Gujranwala region like Maula Jatt etc. Many of the actors in those movies also had roots from rural areas of Gujranwala and Sialkot.

Films from 60s were different I like only some films of actor Akmal like hath jori malangi and few others
and have watched a lot badmash films of Shaan or I think I've watched all of his badmashi films but never liked Sultan Rahi

I think the Lahore city punjabi has pure "urban" polite accent, Historic urban areas be it Lahore or Multan tend to have "polite and soft" accents. The historically rural areas like Gujranwala/Sheikhupura etc. have predominantly a crude rural accent of Punjabi. Since most of the punjabi movies had stories revolving around village life and village characters so the language and accents used in those movies were also the rural accents of Gujranwala/Sheikhupura villages but still for movies they used to speak "slowly" so that larger public in Punjab can understand the language.

Love this thread guys. Thanks for sharing. My favourite one and only Attaullah Esakhelvi. The sound of the common man and sons of the soil who make the backbone of Pakistan.

The historically rural areas like Gujranwala/Sheikhupura etc. have predominantly a crude harsh rural accent of Punjabi.

I personally believe the Punjabi which I speak is standard version of Punjabi and all other dialects east west north south or it's bigri Hui shakal
most of Punjabi or seraiki singers are also trying to use easier version of their language to increase their audiance

 

[Crusher]

I don't think anyone from outside of Pakistan would be able to understand seraiki most of people from northern side of Punjab won't be able to understand pure seraiki songs
and making modern would destroy this music like coke studio

The only reason why I listen to Saraiki or Saraiki/Punjabi mixed songs is because they still haven't been corrupted by outside influences. The poetry and style of singing is still rooted in the indigenous culture of their areas and local thought process which I love to feel through these songs.

The Lahori Punjabi songs have just lost the essence of their folklore and just sound like "punjabi form" of any bollywood or western music, the lyrics of these songs also sound meaningless and have no relation to our indigenous folk thought process anymore.

I really appreciate your insight into Punjab. I have been to Gujranwallah. Lovely people. Strong, robust men.

Should Punjabi be made a official language of Pakistan some politicians have suggested that

No it shouldn't be made because Punjabi is a diverse language
and it would give politicians of other provinces a chance to do anti Punjab propaganda
