I am not married yet, but like my nephews my children will automatically learn English in School, for Urdu i will take them to Pakistan to study there for few years, their first language will be Punjabi that will be learned at home.

Unfortunately in Australia i don't have much choice. Thats why i said i will be happy if she even learns urdu.

I feel for you bro, its good as long as they learn urdu I guess, that is our national language after all.
Best of luck with that

I have visited Islamabad Rawalpindi Lahore Faisalabad and Gujranwale. The youth I met from these Punjabi cities have adopted Urdu and English. Punjabi is mainly spoken in the rural heartlands of Punjab.

I didn't state the youth do not know Punjabi or its various dialects. The youth I met choose to speak either Urdu or English.

Well many of my neighbours are pathans and baltis and in a multi ethnic city you have to use Urdu otherwise things get confusing

its sad to know that newer generations dont know a word of the native language heck they consider them not worthy . one sad example Beacon house labelling Punjabi as foul language . Our system of education ( in Gov schools and other avg private schools ) is such that we dont have command over any language we speak , me being an example .
