The Importance of Cultural Preservation
The Punjabi culture is rich and colourful, and has spread throughout the globe influencing many countries and communities in a positive way. There are over 120 million Punjabis globally, and the Punjabi language is approximately the 11th most widely spoken language in the world.
As generations of Punjabis settle and grow their families in other countries, the new generations that are being born are losing some of their connections with the Punjabi culture and language. Their first language becomes the local language that is spoken in the country they grow up in, and thus their knowledge of Punjabi becomes diluted.
