seriously hahahah can we get a little doaba love in here? To add on to Raja's, I also say LOON. What else, oh yea Ive also noticed malwa people say "Ney" at the end of their sentences. Like "Asi othey gey Ney", as opposed to "Asi othey gey si". All good though! hahaha, Malwa Bhangra is the best afterall!

I'm SO confused now about my family...

So my family says Gunda, Chabi, & Loon...but also says Tharka and Jura..but my family also adds "ney" at the end of sentences...

interesting, the partition also mixed up languages - not just culturally diffused styles of bhangra.
hence, i'm from majha and i say a combination of stuff.

hmmm

Happens with our family as well. If your family is from Ludhiana area, they will tend to use some Doaba Slang along with thier Malwa slang. If they are from the the hearts of Malwa (Moga, Faridkot, Ferozpur, Patiala), then Malwa slang runs in your family.

Last time I checked, my parents mentioned Lahore/Gujranwala...

where does that put me in terms of language?

Neva heard of gujranwala, but lahore? any chance ure ancestors migrated to that area possibly?

Like i said, I use both sets of terms, Mom's side malwa, Dad's side Doaba.

If im at home i say noon, kyoh, etc...

If im at my bhooa's i say loon, kayh, etc...

Lahore/Gujranwala is in Pakistan (Your ancestors maybe from there) and close to Punjab Cities like Amrtisar/Gurdaspur/Batala/Patti. These cities fall under the Majha area of Punjab. They have a different Boli from Malwa & Doaba Area.
