exchange on the Punjabi in the context for a question I had raised regarding its
status as a minority language despite its being numerically Pakistan's majority
language. My paper on Punjabi as a minority, and not majority, language is
published. I would like like to share it with you.<BR><BR>I am grateful to all
of you for your comments and support. I am especially grateful to Dr Dave
Sayers.<BR><BR>My paper is attached with this post. It needs a lot of
improvement, I believe. Your comments will help me with my research on Punjabi
in future.<BR><BR>Best wishes and in solidarity.<BR>Abbas
