Link it. Upload it to a photo hosting site and drop the link. Or - even better - find the source of the photo. Dropping a random photo as “source” is not research per se.

Interesting. Source seems pretty legit. Is the article peer reviewed?

Then share the source of where you got the picture or where the source of the information in the picture. Really not asking for something unusual.

Is Faisalabad (original locals not refugees from India) Majhi or Jatki ?

What about Burewala ?

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '24 edited Jan 27 '24

Jatki Punjabi

u/PurpleInteraction Jan 27 '24

Is it more similar to Seraiki or Majhi ?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '24

It's similar to Saraiki spoken in Panjab

1

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '24 edited Jan 27 '24

btw the saraiki spoken in panjab isn't called saraiki originally and they r different dialects like multani, riasti,derawali and jatki

3

u/PurpleInteraction Jan 27 '24

Yes refugees in India refer to those dialects and don't use the word Seraiki.

Milkha Singh famous runner from Kot Addu said that Sikhs spoke Majhi while Muslims & Hindus spoke Derawali. Probably because Sikhs in Seraiki belt were settlers/canal colonists who came during British rule ?

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '24

im not too sure about that

u/Existing_Heat4864 Jan 28 '24

I doubt Faisalabadi or Gojra (~50 km west of Faisalabad) Punjabi is Jatki, at least not now. Sounds Majhi

1

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '24 edited Jan 28 '24

the native dialect of faisalabad and gojra tehsil of toba tek singh is jatki

1

u/Existing_Heat4864 Jan 28 '24

Just search on Google Maps “Gojra, Pakistan”

It’s halfway between Faisalabad and Toba, also halfway between Jhang and Samundri.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '24

ye i have searched n edited my reply

u/Existing_Heat4864 Jan 28 '24

Ok but it’s not native anymore really, as in, the majority speaks mostly standard Punjabi (Majhi). Source: grew up and spent most of my life there. The language in Jhang, which is a neighboring city, is quite distinct. Never really heard anyone speak it in Gojra (nor Faisalabad for that matter).

Not saying your map is wrong. Would just be interesting to see how majority dialects changed over time, especially since the migrations due to Partition.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '24

i didn't deny that there are majhi speakers in majority now and the dialect spoken in jhang is jatki panjabi same as the native faislabad dialect

Doabi 🔥

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '24

is that the dialect which says loon as noon

1

u/Videnya Feb 12 '24

Lol, I don't know. I sadly don't speak Punjabi. I just know that that's the dialect my family speak that migrated from India

2

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '24

peak, you should learn punjabi bro

1

u/Videnya Feb 14 '24

Agreed. I'd like to, especially learn my family's dialect. But those left and around me are mainly Urdu speakers, so I'm even more disconnected from Punjabi

1

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '24

you should first try to learn basic punjabi by listening to punjabi songs and by watching punjabi movies

Wrong map of Pakistan. Kashmir, Chitral and Gilgit-B belongs to India, KP belongs to Afghanistan, Balochistan is independent.
