Pashto and Hindko in Peshawar, Charsadda

[s.k]

If Peshawar city is Hindko speaking but the surrounding countryside is Pashto speaking, then that is an unusual situation.

Either one or the other group must have migrated into the area.

Iam from Peshawar and my grandpa was from Charsadda lol, peshawar have more pashtoons than hindko peoples maybe 30% hindko and 70% pashtoons, Charsadda doesnt have Hindko peoples.

It is quite well known - actor Shahrukh Khan is of Hindko background, I think. His father migrated to Delhi from Peshawar in 1947.

Yes, Shahrukh Khan's Father was Hindko and Dilip kumar was also hindko and both was from peshawar

Well this may be the case now, with the massive influx of Afghan refugees, but it was not always like this, the same thing will probaably happen in Hazara too. all you seem tho hear is Pashto.

Hindko is similar to seraiki,, potohari, pahari etc before punjabi. Basically these languages are product of Sindh sagar doab people. I'm pretty sure for average punjabi of gujrat hindko will sound just like potohari.

I am photowari speaker and i found similarities( in accent as well as in wordings )with Hindko/Pahari etc but not with sairaki especially if you listen Dheet folk sairki songs sung by attaullah esa khelvi, Mansoor malangi, Shafaullah Khan Rokhri etc ..I found even others dialect of Punjabi more easy to understand than different dialects of sariaki spoken in Minawali, Dera Ismail Khan, Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan, Muzaffargarh, Bhakkar, Layyah, western parts of Khushab districts, Lodhran, southern and western Khanewal, Bahawalpur, Jacobabad, Shikarpur, Tando Allahyar, Sobho Khan etc I think languages spoken in chakwal district has some similarties with sairiki as very much same accent..

You are right to some extent, I just watched video of pure seraiki. I can understand potohari and hindko better then seraiki.

which one is considered pure Saraiki, I come from hindko speaking family from talagang which is only 80 km from Mianwali but I can understand Multani Saraiki like i am speaking to my family but Mianwali sariaki is a bit different.

Parachas are not pakhtun even if they speak pakhto but khatri/sheikh hindu convert. I don't know why no pakhtun have set you straight about it, maybe out of respect. I have noticed same thing with many hindu converts like awans (sharukh khan) and others claiming to be pathans in KPK.

You need to refresh your memory .All Parachgaans are basically persians(Farasha cast converted to Paracha in urdu) and not hindu convertees. Their basic orgin starts from Yaman during seventh century they went with muslim army for jihad in persian area of that time(Iran and afghanistan side)settled over there and started trade in different areas. Currently Parachas are found densely in Kohat,Parachinaar(named after caste paracha), Swat and little bit in Mansehra. Though in some parts of Punjab they are found too but all are emigrants even our family migrated from Swat to Mansehra. So all myths that they are hindu convertees or other gibberish are condemned over here. Now a days fatwa is just way too common https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracha

In hazara Abbottabad is the only city where massive pashto speakers have settled and this is due to employement as medical institutions,benches of high courts,universities etc are constructed so residents of KPK have come over there.

Hindko is language spoken in KPK

well we are the same..... not all of us pakistanis but the enthnic groups we have in pakistan also exist in india.

Do they have Pashtuns. balochs, saraiki, Hazara, Hindko, Barahvi, Gilgati, Sindhi, Pothohari ? dont say they have sindhis... sindhi dont make a fraction of their population and all of them migrated from sindh to India... India have no sindh like Punjab most probably those sindhis have mixed with marathis or gujrati and are no more sindhi except few..

do we have tamil telgue, marathi, kathiwari, Malayalam, naga, bengali and many thousand groups that India posses?

The only ethnic group they share with us is Punjabi.... and they will get their freedom from India, if not now, then latter...
