[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 169645, member: 189"] Auzer Ji, Punjabi is the only langauge in the world that fell victim to "communal/religious" colouring... You see when India was divided in 1947..Pakistans Mulsim Rulers felt it necessary to have a "Muslim" Language..and they chose URDU even though its the language of the Lucknow Belt Muslims. Even when the PUNJABI MUSLIMS, who really do speak PUNJABI in their homes...Sheikh farid Jis Sloks of 13th century are in PURE PANJABI..so are the Epics Heer Ranjha, Heer Vris Shah, Sohni Mahinvaal, Mirza Sahibah etc etc..in Fact the PUNJABI LITERATURE of pre Sikh Guur nanak jis time is all by MUSLIM WRITERS....after Pakistan was created and URDU adopted as its National language..efforts wer eput underway to make URDU more acceptable...even today IF one watches Pakistani SHOWS on Pakistani TV, the audience and the MCs presenters unconsciously "break out" in PUNJABI every now and then and then drag themselves back into URDU...many even Jokingly explain away such Lapses...PUNJABI was give a name.Rural lokaan dee boli,,village language..rural language..farmers language..while URDU is the Educated Middle class language..high class etc...Pakistanis out of sheer habit speak PUNJABI in their HOMES..but switch to URDU when they feel they have to make an "impression".
