Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Saraiki language.

The Saraiki language, part of the Indo-Aryan language family, is spoken by around 26 million people mainly in southern Punjab, Pakistan. While some linguists consider it a dialect of Punjabi, Saraiki has distinct phonetic, lexical, and grammatical features. It uses a unique script derived from the Perso-Arabic script. Saraiki boasts a rich literary tradition. Known for its sweet melodious tone and poetic expression, Saraiki is popular in folk songs and traditional music.

Some notable cultural heritage of Saraikis are The shrine of Rukn-e-Alam in Multan, Sutto- a famous healthy cold drink, The Multani mutton chops, Saraiki Ajrak/textile block-printing, Saraiki jhumar traditional dance, Saraiki Cultural Day and mangoes.
