dc.description.abstractIn this era of emerging global village where distances are getting shorter day by day, communication is going to play a pivotal role in sharing one's views with others. However, language is such a distinct attribute of human beings as facilitates the members of society to use it for the purpose of communication.More specifically, the aim of this study is to unravel the truth behind language desertion by looking at the Punjabi and Saraiki speaking people's attitudes and perceptions towards speaking their native languages and to further explore the usage of this language in their family and social circle. Semi-structured interviews have been conducted from 20 Punjabi and 20 Saraiki participants toexplore the perceptions of Punjabi and Saraiki people regarding sociolinguistic issues in Pakistani context. Findings reveal thatPunjabi and Saraiki do not have any significant differences when it comes to the loyalty part of the native language, among almost all Punjabi and Saraiki speakers,Urdu and English are the official medium of communication at official places such as offices, schools and formal events. It has been noticed that both Punjabi and Saraiki participants use their native language in informal domains such as talking to native friends, relatives, families and when attending some rituals (marriages, traditional dresses, Eid gatherings, poetry). The future research direction and limitations have also been provided in the thesis.en_US
