Sapa-sapa yang ghasa nak prektis ka, blajag ka, loghat Penang ataupun loghat Utagha kat sini. Sila lah mai!!!
Anybody who would like to practice or learn Penangite dialect or Northern Malaysian dialect here. You're welcomed!!!
Most Punjabis here are from India side of Punjab. There are also Punjabis of Thailand and believe me they are very loyal to Pradesh Thailand. Their Thai is superb and much better than any Thai themselves.
My lecterur too is a Sikh Punjabi, he is a lawyer but part-timing in local university. I love to go to his class because he is very generous and always distributing foods and presents sometimes I can sleep in the class when he starting to preach advices LOL... He always told us about his travel to India visiting his grandma in Loghat Penang.
One of my best friend has a Punjabi Muslim grandfather... He said that his grandfather is from Faqir caste.
There is a caste system among Punjabi Muslims too?
Suppose that every person in India is submitted under castes whatever religion they embrace are.
My friend from Thailand too told me that Buddhist Thai people are submitted under caste system. The caste can be identified through their surname, e.g Saenakun [traditionally written as; Senakulo]. Sena (army) and kulo is from old Javanese means slave or assistant. So the person who bears this surname is from Kshatria caste, but the lowest one because their ancestors are the assistants in the army post.
My dad was telling me that our ancestors were Hindu and our family was the higher ranking in the caste system, Brahmin I think. Anyway, Alhamdulillah I'm Muslim!
How do u say I love you? in Malay or Penangite.
*Without Allah, without Islam, life would be meaningless. If I've ever learned patience, it's because of this. Alhamdulillah...*
pronunciation [cheque sooka lar cut hung], I think so in American kind of spelling, hopefully it is.
Oh, Brahmin suppose to be the caste of Panditas. Knowledge is the power. My grandfather from my father side is from Vaisya caste (setthie). His family is from India but travelling and migrating from places to places and ended up here in Malaysia maybe before 18th century at the time it was called Tanah Melayu or The Malay Land
Indian culture is prominent in South East Asian area since the first century AD.
Our family name is Naik. We're supposed to be like the warriors/fighters Lol I can see where I got it from. I can rip ur face off if u get on my nerves or say something biased. with words of course!
ohh, so ur ancestry is from India. Thats neat. Can u speak anything other than Malay? Maybe a language from India..
*Without Allah, without Islam, life would be meaningless. If I've ever learned patience, it's because of this. Alhamdulillah...*
I guess that your ancestors maybe Brahmanas who choose Kshatrians way of living. Is Naik pronounced as Nayak?
My father doesn't have any skill in negotiating business, he is good in fighting and poetry. Well I learn new languages easily by simply listening to people speak or mumbling the sound, many Brahmins in Southern India and Thailand from Suphannaphum [Suwarnabhumi, near northern Malaysia in ancient time] speaks local language fluently which are Malay, Thai, Mon or Khmer with Sanskrit intervention.
I'm not good in Indian languages, but I know several words used in hinduism-buddhism or traditional in Malay and Thai. I use those words when talking with buddhist friends in Thai, and simply change them if talking to muslim like Hindi or Urdu. Maybe I can speak Hindi or Urdu but with upside down grammar and intervened with Pali-Sanskrit

there are many Tamil words in Penangite... especially food...
Is that Roti Chanai???? My mother use to cook fish head curry with Carapolleiy as the ingredients, what is it called in english or scientifically huh?... Yea, I think Penangite has a vast loanwords from Tamil or maybe Hindi.
The words that Kokdiang people in Kedah use for criminals' appearance is Prashard or Prahchart, specifically the face of the crook I don't know whether this one is originated from Indian language or not. Is this word being used in Penangite too?
One of my uncle name's Bahadur [bahAdoUr]. That means brave in local northern dialect in Kedah.

What do you call Reban Ayam or Hen-House in Penangite dialect?
I call it Lao Ayam at home, some of my friends from Baling district in Kedah called it Ghouk Ayam with a bit nasalized sound when it comes to "m" in Ayam like Terengganu way of pronunciation
Hey, Baling is a beautiful and tranquilizing place. I visited Baling last three months ago, going to my friend's house in Kampung Pekan Kupang (Kupang Town's Village), many hills there. Tourism spots there in Baling are like Bukit Hijau (Green Hill) and Kolam Air Panas Legong (Legong's Hot spring ponds).

We call it "reban ayam".
I've been to Baling once on the way to Kelantan. I performed prayer at the town's mosque.
