Dear Humor Forum colleagues,
I have added some 158 new desi words in the Jatland Haryanavi dictionary. For details, please see my today’s post The treasure of ‘desi’ words in “About Jatland.Com” forum.
I have compiled the list mostly from my own memory but there is a great contribution from those of you who are putting desi stuff in the Humor forum. This is the only forum on Jatland.com which is using desi words. Many words were picked from posts of Dev Dahiya, Devender Dangi, Rupendera Sheoran, Anil Sangwan, Jitu Hooda and some more. Words do not come to mind all of a sudden, either you have to be in a discussion forum or read material. I had to seek the help of my wife also who told many desi words and I must thank her too for this.
Our language is very rich in vocabulary and we should not be shy to use it. Many of us in the Forum (including me) can speak desi language as efficiently as any tau of Mandouthi or Doobaldhan. Language is a rich heritage and we must try to save it from being termed as a dead language.
I intend to prepare the second lot of desi words, which are still left out. For new words, we would have to compile a list. I am reading old posts but it is not possible to go through the entire material. If some of you compile a list of new words (which are missing in the dictionary) and put them in the dictionary yourself or else send to me by e-mail for the next lot, I think this would be a great service to our society as well as to this site which is actually our ‘Chopaal'.
Thank your for your attention.
