For the past couple of days I have been seeing comments under this video asking Why is my Video in English?

This Punjabi Muslim supported urdu imposition on us in 1952 . Proud to be Bengali Muslim

I'm from Sindh, where we're happy to speak our Sindhi language. Urdu isn't native to our region, so we don't feel the need to use it. When Urdu was forced upon us, it contributed to Bangladesh breaking away. I'm glad to see Punjabi people embracing their own language now.

What seems to be happening to Punjabi has already happened to a lot of regional languages in Europe: a language loses prestige and is relegated to domestic uses. Its former speakers start to learn and use a more prestigious and "useful" language, and, in due course, the society becomes bilingual. At some point the transmission chain between parents and children is broken and the less prestigious language becomes endangered

I've been thinking about making a video about this for a long time but it's not a topic that fits my channel. This is very good, thank you!

India people speak in English with their children. The children don't speak in their mother tongue. The native language schools are getting replaced with English medium schools. Sad times.

@Wajiha.khan22799

I am Pukhtun and we value our language soooo much but my punjabi friends literally can't speak their mother tongue which is very sad we should not forget where we come from

Punjabi is very good in India. In terms of position

ਭਾਰਤੀ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੇ ਲੋਕੀ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਬੋਲਣ ਤੇ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਹੋਣ ਤੇ ਮਾਣ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਕਰਦੇ ਨੇ, ਤੇ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਦੀ ਤਰੱਕੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਿੰਨਾ ਹੋ ਸਕੇ ਆਪਣਾ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਪਾਉਂਦੇ ਨੇ, ਤੇ ਪਾਉਂਦੇ ਰਹਿਣਗੇ , ਧੰਨਵਾਦ 😊

Growing up as a gen z in lahore I first hand witnessed the decline of punjabi. Punjabi was banned in schools and was quite literally considered as foul language. At home our parents used to discourage punjabi everywhere and made us form a perception of punjabi as a language just for the lower classes which lack basic ettiquetes. It's extremely ironical due to the fact both of my parents are native punjabis and themselves are extremely fluent in it.

This is so relatable. My father's side is completely Punjabi and my mother's side is purely Urdu. I obviously grew up with my father's side, we all used to live in one big house. For my whole life I've heard my father conversing with his family in Punjabi, but whenever my parents spoke to each other (or us), they would do it in Urdu. My Uncle and Auntie's did the same thing with their kids. Even my Grandparents, who used to speak to us in Punjabi when we were young, eventually shifted to Urdu. Now none of my cousins (and myself) speaks any sort of Punjabi, even though we all are one.

I'm Scottish/Irish from Canada & I have been learning Punjabi now for about 2 years. I love the Punjabi language and people, I speak to my buddy and his family in India all the time in Punjabi and many Pakistani friends online with some language exchanges. Its amazing how many languages you are surrounded by on that part of the world. Amazing.

@hasnatbashir

I still remember when there was a backlash against Beaconhouse banning Punjabi in their schools counting it under vulgar language. It was an informative video, keep up the amazing work.

@proroyal95

I am from Pakistan and in our schools if we catched to talking in Punjabi than we fined of 200 Rupees. Even in primary classes.They force us to talk in English and Urdu. 😢

@hasnaingondal5696

It's never too late to learn your own language. I met an Indian Punjabi born and raised in the US. He learned it when he was in his late 20s. His Punjabi was perfect. I wish this video was in Punjabi itself.

Got this video recommended on my page and being a history enthusiast I could not resist myself from seeing 3 more videos recommended from your channel.
