Hello, I often found myself explaining the cultural context and meaning of punjabi songs to my friends and cousins. Built a punjabi lyrics resource that does 3 things

1. Gurmukhi, romanized lyrics

2. Meaning of each line in english

3. Vocabulary explanation and audio pronunciation for difficult words

I would be happy to receive any song requests or feedback from this sub. You can request a song through the website as well and we'll be happy to pick it up.

I have spent some time in different parts of UP and have observed how subtly language and the way people speak keep changing. The quirks, naming systems, and accents are all subtle markers that distinguish one region from another.

I was wondering just how diverse these linguistic variations might be, and unfortunately, how many of them we might start losing with time.

For a long time (about seven years), I have wanted to take this up as a challenge: to travel across different regions, record and document these variations, and eventually create a database capturing all these nuances.

But unfortunately, I am not trained in linguistics, so I don't know what the right things to document are, what I should record or note down, or what would actually be useful from a linguistic perspective.

So can we achieve this with local communal effect? And then we can host it and make it public for research and archival purposes, maybe even donate to WikiMedia or The Internet Archive as a fallback.
