Thank you Punjabi!

[Village life]

there is always been a debate that either Punjabi is mother of Urdu or not , in vocabulary Punjabi is very vast and comprehensive and on other hand Urdu is very adaptive and this is it's beauty in future we may see a Urdu with more of Punjabi words in it and it will be interesting ,, and stylish too,

Everyone should learn Urdu, official language of Pakistan.

 

[Kabira]

I've seen people with little education forcing their kids to only speak in urdu. Its not a sign of being educated but jahalat.

Then you have these fucked up PTM types who think speaking punjabi is elite privilege.

Urdu is mainly a mixture of Punjabi (Muslim version) and Dari (Eastern Farsi.)

The most beautiful version of Urdu is that which is closest to its Dari, like that in poetry.

Eventually, poets like at the level of Allama Iqbal left Urdu completely for Dari.

As for Punjabi, the beauty is in comedy, pure simplicity, and making everyday magical which Punjabi people are gifted in.

I don’t think there are any funnier people in the whole world than Punjabi people speaking their mother tongue, and sometimes blunt truth strikes sharpest.

Same can be said of Seraiki and Hindko, which are dialects of Punjabi.

If you have exposure to both Punjabi and Urdu, you will notice that both meld very organically with each other.

Punjabi is very fluid and to the point with many dialects, while Urdu is more rigid and verbose.

You should move to Indian Punjab they speak pure Punjabi language.

Their Punjabi is different. I wouldn’t say it is pure.

There is plenty of Teht (Pure) Punjabi speakers in Pakistan too.

Punjabi is a great language.. and a complete language.. Urdu can't compete with Punjabi..

and I am a Urdu speaker.. who wants to learn Punjabi..

Urdu is still evolving.. and will continue to evolve for the next 500 years (if day of judgement doesn't approach us by then).

I have noticed Pukhto words entering Pakistani Urdu recently, which is a welcome addition to the language.

PTI victory in the center has resulting in Pukhtoonization of many aspects of Pakistani culture, with the best part being the intense loyalty and patriotism which Pukhtoons spread throughout Pakistan.

N league has had a very demoralizing effect on Punjab and this era has bred a lot of open traitors and hypocrites among us.

It is always good for us Pakistanis to celebrate our native tongues. We need to unite politically, linguistically, and culturally on deeper levels.

Don’t be too sensitive like a teenage girl.

Our Education system should be revamped and education should be in taught in Urdu. It does not have to be Urdu medium but they courser should be taught in Urdu. Students should have option to take local or foreign language course or both, option for English, Farsi, Arabic, Turkish, Chinese, and local languages.

I'm Urdu speaker and mother tongue is Urdu, the only other language I really know is English. I have lots of friends from Lahore, Pindi etc who are ethnically Punjabi but their Punjabi fluency is only marginally better than mine and mine is toddler level. So you can imagine.... imo every kid must learn Urdu, English, predominant local language of their district and one foreign language. Students in Belgium, Netherlands etc learn about five-six languages which is one of the reasons that these countries are tiny even minuscule but have a global impact.

The topic of discussion is not about education medium, rather diminishing culture of Punjabi language in urban areas of Punjab. Pakistan's identity goes parallel with Punjab, Punjabi culture and language and will stay that way, whether someone likes it or not. And same applies for other provinces, their cultures and languages. I am for the idea that such beautiful languages/cultures shall be celebrated, thrived and promoted rather than discouraging them.

Not correct, they do have option to choose from foreign language but most can speak two languages. Local regional language/ a foreign language.

That’s good, there should be tv channels in local languages to promote local culture but national TV channels should only in Urdu and not forcing certain language on the whole country.

National tv channels are already in Urdu (state owned channels), cable network (private channels) can broadcast in whichever (local) language they want to broadcast in, depends on their target lingo group.

No language in Pakistan is classier than Urdu. (Hindko is my language tho)

They supposed to be in Urdu but they are not 100% in Urdu, slowly certain language is injected in Urdu channels, for example, comedy shows and news programs.
