As a non-Punjabi, learning Punjabi was difficult, lol.

The online courses I relied on seemed to be "watered down" versions for standardisation and the nuances of dialects and related languages were never mentioned. Obviously, the same goes for Indian governmental resources. The people I was able to speak to were non-resident from Charhda Punjabi families.

Because of this, it is quite a task to be able to differentiate between Hindustani and Farsi influence as opposed to what would be considered theth.

As far as I can tell, there really aren't many good resources to learn dialect-specific linguistics for Punjabi beyond this sub. and some very active members here (which is greatly appreciated).

Lok mainu kehnde si ki conversation ton improvement hundi 'ai, but there has to be a stable starting point, lol.
