Shahpuri is a Punjabi dialect spoken in the Sargodha Division [1] of Punjab, Pakistan. Its name is derived from former Shahpur District (now Shahpur Tehsil, part of Sargodha District).

Contents

The singers Mansoor Malangi, Talib Hussain Dard and Allah Ditta Loone Wala sang in the Jatki dialect of Punjabi.

Geographic distribution and classification

It is mostly spoken in Sargodha District and Khushab District. [1] It is also spoken in the neighbouring districts of Jhang, Chiniot, Mandi Bahauddin, Khanewal, Sahiwal and Bhakkar. It is mainly spoken on western end of Sindh River to Chenab River, traversing the Jhelum River. [2] This entire area has almost the same traditions, customs and culture.

The closely related Dhani dialect is spoken in Attock, Chakwal, and Talagang.

Jatki language is a common name for the Jhangvi dialect, Shahpuri dialect and Dhani dialect. Sometimes also termed as Rachnavi dialect.

The glotlog codes for these are:

Notable Features

In its phonology Shahpuri has the same tonal pattern as Standard Punjabi. [7]

In common with Thali and Hindko, there is a class of two-syllable nouns that mark case distinctions by vowel alternation. The case suffixes of the older language have dropped, leaving the assimilated root vowels as the only indicator of the case: /jʌŋɡʊl/ ~ /jʌŋɡəl/ /jʌŋɡɪl/. Grierson explains this by substratal Dardic influence, whereas Shackle finds it more plausible that it is the result of Shahpuri's central position between areas favouring one or another vowel in these contexts. [8]

Grammar

Continuous Tense

Similar to Pothohari, Hindko, and other Western Punjabi dialects, Shahpuri also uses pyā to signify the continuous tense. [9]

Some Majhi sub-dialects also utilize this tense.

Present Tense

The pesent tense of non-causative verbs in Jatki may involve the addition of -eyndā, while causative verbs may attain either -eyndā or -āandā. The future tense changes accordingly.

Verbs that have a causative form, rarely acquire -eyndā, for example, Mardā (dies) cannot become Mareyndā (kills/hits) as that is the present form of Maarnā (killing/hitting).

However, Mannnā (to be convinced) and Mannāvnā (to convince) both can be said as Maneyndā in the present form.

Verbs like āvan (to come) and lyāvan (to bring) will not take -eyndā, as they lack a passive form, so they are either said as -āndā or -aundā

The progressive tense is built upon the present tense, and is used in all Punjabi dialects. It is made by ending the verb with -eān in the present form.

For example, "to be doing" or "while doing", can be either kardeān or kareyndeān.

Passive Tense

The Jatki dialects have a special passive tense for most verbs.

The present passive is made by adding -eendā, past passive by adding -eevyā/eeyā, subjunctive by adding -eevay (s.) and -eevan (pl), progressive by adding -eendeān , gerundive passive by adding -eevna/eejna and future passive by adding -eesi. The continuous passive is built upon the present passive by adding pyā, while perfect passive is built by adding gyā to the past passive.

Varteendā (is used), Varteenday (are used), Varteevay/Varteejay (to be used, sing), Varteevan/Varteejan (to be used, pl), Varteevyā (was used), Vartee-gyā (has been used), Varteenda-pyā (is being used), Varteendeān (while being used), Varteevna/Varteejna (its "being used"), Varteesi (will be used), Vartee-veysi or Vartee-jaasi (will have been used/will end up being used), Vartee-veynda or Vartee-jaanda (gets used).

Note: The past passive in Shahpuri is made by adding -eevyā, in Jhangochi by adding -eeyaā, Dhani is made by adding -eetā, and in Thalochi it is made by adding -eechā.

Note: The past tense of Marnā is Moyā (dead) and the past passive tense is Mareejā (killed)

Agentive Tense

The agentive tense of verb in Punjabi is either shown in the standard manner by adding the words "āalā" or "laggeā".

For example, "He is to come" or "He is about to come" is spoken as Oh aavan aalā/laggeā ae.

In Jatki, another manner exists where the root verb is suffixated by adding -oo

Examples:

Tun kitthay jaaoo/vanjoo ain? (Where are you to go?)

Oh kay karoo ae? (What is he up to)

Ajj mein tuhānu hik ehjihi gall sunāoo aan (Today I am about to tell you such a thing...)

The dialects of Jatki Punjabi use Hin (ہِن) or No (نو) to signify the present plural tense.

The word "hin" may be attached with the verb colloquially.

"Oh menu dassdin" (اوہ مینُوں دسّدِن), meaning "They tell me".

"Bahoon vāday keetin" (بہُوں وعدے کِیتِن)، meaning "Made many promises"

The word Hen (ہَینڑ) may also be used.

Words for "Then/Again"

Words like Vatt (وتّ) [13] or Muṛ (مُڑ) [14] are used instead of the Standard Punjabi Phir (پھیر).

"Halā vatt kay hoya?" (ہلا وتّ کے ہویا؟), meaning "Alright, what happened then?".

"Tenu vatt vii aas praai rahi" (تَینُوں وتّ وی آس پرائی رہی), meaning "Even then, you had hopes for some other", a lyric from "Changean Naseeban de Shah", by Talib Hussain Dard

Words for "Going"

Words like Vaj̈aṇ (ونجن) and Jāwaṇ (جاوَن) are both used. [15]

Words for "Someone" and "What"

For "what", Jatki either uses the common word Kii (کی) or the Western word Kay (کے)

For "someone", Jatki may use either the standard Kisay (کِسے) or another word that is Kaheeṇ (کہِیں)

Words for "That"

Ba, Bai or Jo are used, as opposed to ke in Standard Punjabi. (بہ، بئی، جو)

Mein tuhaanu dassaan bai (ke) aes ton changga mein pehlon kaday nhi vekhya

(Let me tell you that I have never seen one better than this)

Kaday vi mein nahi aakhya jo (ke) tun menu kujh desein taahin mein tenu kujh desaan

Similarly, Kyunjo(or Kyunjay) is used for Kyunke, and Taanjo (or Taanjay) is used fot Taake.

Supporting Verbs

In Jatki, many verbs exist to support the adjoining verb, giving the same meaning as de/dittaa/devay/desi.

De chaa (دے چا), is the same as De de (دے دے), meaning "Give it"

Rakkh chhaḍḍ (رکھّ چھڈّ), is the same as Rakkh de (رکھّ دے), meaning "Place it"

Maar ghattsan (مار گھتّسن), meaning "Will come and beat"

The verb "Vattnā"

In its past form Vadā, it can either show continuous action (like pyā) or a state of being (like hoyā), depending on the main verb's form.

In the latter case, Khalā and Khlotā (both meaning "standing") may also be used.

Menu bukkh laggi vadi/khali/pyi ae (I have hunger)

Menu bukkh laggdi vadi/pyi ae (I am getting hungry)

Oh chendā vadā/pyā ae (He is picking it up)

In other forms, the verb Vattnā, (literally meaning "to wander") depicts a continuity in an action, and is synonymous with the word Phirnā.

Kãi aakhya? کَیں آکھیا؟, meaning "Says who?"

Jãi vii aakhya hovay جَیں وی آکھیا ہووے, meaning "Whomsoever might have said it"

Words for "Taking" and "Bringing"

Commonly observed in the Lahnda dialects is the use of Ghinṇā (گھِننا) [16] [17] and Aaṇnā (آننا) [18] [19] instead of the Eastern Punjabi words Laiṇā (لَینا) and Lyāṇā (لیانا).

Jatki makes usage of both sets. The Dhani dialect however, seems to lean more towards the former.

English Jatki Pothohari Hindko Saraiki
Shahpuri/Jhangochi Dhanni

Retention of the irrgeular past tense

In Jatki Punjabi, as well as in Saraiki, the irregular Punjabi past tense form of verbs is retained when used with the verb Karnā, a feature that is not present in Eastern dialects such as Majhi, or even in other Lahnda varieties such as Pothohari and Hindko.

The irregular past tense is generally the same throughout the Punjabi dialects (e.g. khādhā, peetā, nahātā, dhotā, moyā, latthā, khalotā, ḍaṭṭhā, suttā, keetā, dittā, ghidā, seetā, baddhā).

Jatki does seem to have some additional ones as well, such as runnā for royā (cried) ḍiṭṭhā for vekhya (seen), and syātā for syāneā (recognized).

Examples:

English Jatki Majhi Pothohari
Eat less rotisروٹِیاں گھٹّ کھادھِیاں کرو

This is also observed with the verbs "Rakkhnā" and "Jānā/Vanjnā".

Examples:

Asī̃ ohnū̃ ditti rakhie? (اسِیں اوہنُوں دِتّی رکھّیئے؟) instead of Asī̃ ohnū̃ dei rakhie? (اسِیں اوہنُوں دئی رکھّیئے؟)

(meaning, "Shall we keep on giving him?")

and

Oh keeti jāndā ae (اوہ کِیتی جاندا اے) instead of Oh kari jāndā ae (اوہ کری جاندا اے)

(meaning, "He keeps on doing")

Kalla maiiyon kamm keeti jaavan? instead of Kalla maiiyon kamm kari jaavan?

(meaning, "I alone am to keep on doing?)

This can be further observed with the verbs Aanā (to come) and Jānā/Vanjnā (to go), when used in this manner.

Ohnu ohndey pesay taan ditti aa (اوہنُوں اوہندے پیسے تاں دِتّی آ), meaning "Give him his money and come back"

Pesay taan mere ditti vanj (پیسے تاں میرے دِتّی ونج), meaning "Give my money as you go"

Pesay taan ditti veynda/jaanda (پیسے تاں دِتّی ویندا/جانا), meaning "You could have at least given the money as you went"

Mein hikk kamm keeti aavaan (میں ہِکّ کمّ نہ کیتی آواں), meaning "I'll be back after one task"

Mein veyndean do trae moṭian moṭian gallaan bas keeti jaavan (میں ویندیاں دو ترۓ گلّاں بس کیتی جاواں), meaning "I'm just going to say a few things as I go"

Ajj kujh baahroon na khaadhi aaveeye? (اجّ کُجھ باہرُوں نہ کھادی آوِیئے؟), meaning "Shouldn't we eat something from outside today?"

Aseen gall kareynde haaen, pehlon booha taan band keeti aa (اسِیں گلّ کریندے ہائیں، پہلوں بُوہا تاں بند کیتی آ), meaning "We will talk, first go close the door"

Booha band keeti jaaveen (بُوہا بند کیتی جاوِیں), meaning "Close the door when you go"

Oh ditti aaya karay (اوہ دِتّی آیا کرے), meaning "He can give (and come back)"

Oh ditti jaaya karay (اوہ دِتّی کرے), meaning "He can give give (while he is passing/leaving)"

Mein ḍiṭṭhi aavaan (میں ڈِتھّی آواں), meaning "I'll be back after a look"

Jaa nahaati aa (جا نہاتی آ), meaning "Go take a bath"

The words in bold would be "de", "kar", "khaa", "dekhya", and "nahaaya" in Standard Punjabi as well as in Urdu-Hindi translation.

With the verb Baiṭhnā

"Hun taan mein keeti baitha aan" instead of "Hun taan mein karii baitha aan".

(meaning, "Now I have done it" [So now what?])

"Peeti baitha ae" instead of "Pee baitha ae"

(meaning, "He has drunk")

Infinitive is a linguistics term for certain verb forms existing in many languages, most often used as non-finite verbs. As with many linguistic concepts, there is not a single definition applicable to all languages. The name is derived from Late Latin [modus] infinitivus, a derivative of infinitus meaning "unlimited".

Nynorsk is one of the two official written standards of the Norwegian language, the other being Bokmål. From 12 May 1885, it became the state-sanctioned version of Ivar Aasen's standard Norwegian language (Landsmål), parallel to the Dano-Norwegian written standard known as Riksmål. The name Nynorsk was introduced in 1929. After a series of reforms, it is still the written standard closer to Landsmål, whereas Bokmål is closer to Riksmål and Danish.

In linguistics, a participle is a nonfinite verb form that has some of the characteristics and functions of both verbs and adjectives. More narrowly, participle has been defined as "a word derived from a verb and used as an adjective, as in a laughing face".

Swedish is descended from Old Norse. Compared to its progenitor, Swedish grammar is much less characterized by inflection. Modern Swedish has two genders and no longer conjugates verbs based on person or number. Its nouns have lost the morphological distinction between nominative and accusative cases that denoted grammatical subject and object in Old Norse in favor of marking by word order. Swedish uses some inflection with nouns, adjectives, and verbs. It is generally a subject–verb–object (SVO) language with V2 word order.

Proto-Indo-European verbs reflect a complex system of morphology, more complicated than the substantive, with verbs categorized according to their aspect, using multiple grammatical moods and voices, and being conjugated according to person, number and tense. In addition to finite forms thus formed, non-finite forms such as participles are also extensively used.
