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:
“And what the dead had no speech for, when living,
They can tell you, being dead: the communication
Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“It is still not enough for language to have clarity and content ... it must also have a goal and an imperative. Otherwise from language we descend to chatter, from chatter to babble and from babble to confusion.”
—René Daumal (1908–1944)
“So runs my dream: but what am I?
An infant crying in the night;
An infant crying for the light:
And with no language but a cry.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
