How mutually intelligible are Hindi-Urdu and Panjabi?
I think the intelligibility is better from Panjabi to Hindi than the other way around. An old Panjabi friend calls his language a bastard Hindi but there are many Panjabi words that are not familiar to Hindi speakers who have not been exposed to Panjabi. Perhaps I could some it up by saying that I find causual eavesdropping on a Panjabi conversation tiring because I have to pay much more attention to what is being said to follow the details of it, though the general gist is clear enough.
