Seeking intellectual discussion on languages known by people of Chandigarh.
Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. I was browsing another sub debating on the spoken languages of punjab, when I got the inspired idea of indulging in the same discussion on this subReddit. I am going to list the questions first- 1. Which languages did you grow up with when living in Chandigarh? 2. Do you speak all of them now and if not, why? 3. An average person from Chandigarh speaks 2 languages, how many do you and how many would you impart on your children from what you know or would you choose another to teach them? 4. If you’re not from Chandigarh, which language did you grow up with and did you need to switch to another language to sustain yourself here? How is that fairing for your native tongue? 5. What do you prefer conversing in? Your mother tongue or the language you had to learn to find a place for yourself in the world. Rules and disclaimer: 1. This thread is going to be heavily moderated. I am looking to enrich my mind and hopefully others’ with intellectual opinions and reasonings. Any hate/bigotry/abusive language towards any individual/community/language/region will be deleted and the said user banned. 2. Treat the thread as you would a school debate. Hard-hitting facts, statements and opinions, no matter how controversial or unpopular will be allowed and are encouraged. The only caveat is that they should be said in a respectful manner. 3. Users are welcome to present their opinions in any of the three languages- Hindi, Punjabi and English. Thank you for reading. I am also open to suggestions on how to better conduct this discussion through additional questions.8
