Can anything be done about the loss of traditional words?

Ganda becoming piaz. Tharkalan becoming sham. Or the ones we already lost like leere to kapre, gulna to bhejna, bhanvi to jija, akhna to kehna.

Favorite word using one of the borrowed 5 letters : ਖ਼ ਗ਼ ਜ਼ ਫ਼ ਸ਼

These words are typically English, Persian or Arabic. For me it's probably ਸ਼ੇਰ Lion.

Why no songs about kaliyan?

I always hear about goriyan, why not kaliyan? Sukshinder Shinda was brave enough to say badami rangiye (almond colored), but nobody has dared to sing kaliye. Perhaps I should be the first!

O kali soniye, banja meri boti

O soni kaliye, kadhe na hoi moti

ਲੋਣਾ - Apply or Remove?

This verb doubles for applying and removing items or am I missing something? Bindi loni, photo kand tho lona, etc.

Most over-used terms in Punjabi music

What are the worst offenders for over use and possibly even castism / colorism?

I'd say Jatt (caste), and Goriye (color).
