Language
Almost all the Pathans settled in the Punjab region now speak Punjabi or Hindko while those in southern Punjab speak Saraiki as native languages. The only exemption are the Sagri Khattaks of Attock District and the Chhachh area, who still speak Pashto language and practice Pashtun culture known as Pashtunwali. The Bhangi Khel of Isakhel Tehsil also speak Pashto.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“Though language forms the preacher,
‘Tis “good works” make the man.”
—Eliza Cook (1818–1889)
“Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Strange goings on! Jones did it slowly, deliberately, in the bathroom, with a knife, at midnight. What he did was butter a piece of toast. We are too familiar with the language of action to notice at first an anomaly: the ‘it’ of ‘Jones did it slowly, deliberately,...’ seems to refer to some entity, presumably an action, that is then characterized in a number of ways.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
