Urdu, Punjabi & More

Welcome to Urdu, Punjabi & More!
This channel is my personal archive of everything I find fascinating about Urdu and Punjabi. Though I'm from Indian Punjab, Urdu has deep roots here — it was once the language of administration, journalism, and education. Both my Sikh grandfathers were fluent in it, while one couldn't even read Gurmukhi, which gained traction much later.

Urdu and Punjabi have long coexisted and overlap constantly — you can’t speak one without touching the other. I love how sounds form words, and how words trace journeys through Persian, Arabic, and beyond. For example, my grandfather would say, Meenh pai reha hai — meenh for rain came into Punjabi via Persian or Urdu.

If you’re curious about these languages, their poetry, proverbs, word origins, and the cultural history they carry, you’ll feel at home here.
