WIKITONGUES: Faraz speaking Majhi Punjabi

Assalamu alaikum everyone.

My name is Faraz Butt

and I live in Lahore.

My grandfather,

he was basically from Amritsar

- or probably Gurdaspur district, I mean.

Basically, his village was

Fatehgarh Churian.

I'm not sure as to whether

it's in Gurdaspur or Amritsar district.

Anyway, he migrated from there to Lahore.

We usually ask him to tell us stories

of how he reached Lahore.

He then goes on to tell us that he arrived

in Lahore on a train and stuff, right?

Then he settled down here permanently.

His house was on Nisbat Road.

It's near Lakshmi Chowk.

That's where his house was.

He later moved out from there.

He moved to Chowk Chauburji, then Sabzazar

and we've moved in now

near Raiwind Road. Okay?

It's quite far from the city,

but we've moved in here.

Right? And I'm studying.

Currently I am doing my A Levels

from Aitchison College.

And I did my O Levels from here too.

I've been studying here for about

10 years.

I got my admission in 2011.

So, yeah, 9 years.

Let's see. In a month or two, I'll start

applying to universities, God willing.

Let's pray I get into LUMS.

I will apply to NUST also, God willing.

And... we'll see.

For now, I'm making his video.

Majhi is a dialect of Punjabi.

Majhi Punjabi is spoken in Lahore,

Amritsar, Gurdaspur,

Gujranwala and surrounding areas. "Majha".

And... Punjabi is our language

and we should promote it, right?

I don't know about India

but it isn't promoted at all in Pakistan.

And... yeah, we should do that.

It's the right thing to do.

Only when we promote it,

the language will grow, right?

What do you think? Am I right?
