[*]When you look at it, the way the Panjabi language has been abused along religious communal lines is amazing. It really highlights the fractious nature of Panjabis. [*]It's a sad state off affairs and effects the progression and development of the language. We have people who wrongly perceive it as a 'Sikh' language. We have plenty of people who consider it an uncouth, pendu language. We have literature written by one set of Panjabis (say in Gurmukhi) that can't be read by hordes of other Muslim Panjabis and vice versa.

In the diaspora lots of Sikhs seem indifferent to their children learning their mother tongue and hence you now have hordes of 3rd generation Sikh Panjabis who can barely string a sentence together. [*]I'd say what you highlighted above is just another manifestation of a deeper underlying problem. [*]All that being said, like the people itself, the Panjabi language itself doesn't seem to want to go out without a good fight.
