Bebe_7 - let me try to translate the first few sentences in English

Bemused by one's own self (Mannay di mauj wich)
Laughing... (Hansna)
Playing... (Khedna)
Keeping the mind/heart on the work (Dille Ki Rakhna Kammay Kannay)
I dont foul anybody's name (Mehna Paye Kisay Kee Manda Nahin Bolna)
Light & Sweet moonlight! (Channay Di Chandni Chanday Kannay)

I admit I guessed the last two words "chanday kannay"

P_j106 - U are right! this is not Kashmiri.

This song is in Gojri language spoken predominantly in Neelum & Jehlum Valleys in Azad Kashmir. And rightly recognized by someone as a variant of Punjabi + Hindko.

Kashmiri has a different syntactic structure as well.

Mrtea - Good to remind of Mian Mohammad Baksh :)

The language is Kashmiri and the songs in Kashmiri language, also known as kashur to its natives. :D

Its not like Parhari, Potwari or Hinko they all are closely related to Punjabi and Romani (Gypsy), but distinct from Punjabi. However, they are spoken in Northern Pakistani and in the southwestern part of Kashmir.

Kashmiri itself is spoken mostly in the Valley and the northwestern rim of Pir Panjal Range plus of course the areas adjacent.

It is a Dardic language and has much in common with other non-Punjabi / non-Pashto languages of northern Pakistan, India and even Afghanistan.

Although it still has some things in common with ancient Farsi and Sanskrit.

Hope that does it with the History lesson for now? );

So does anyone know much about Kashmiri saint:

Mian Mohammed Baksh who wrote the famous tale Saif-ul-Muluk. Which tells of a Prince who fell in love with a fairy called Badi Jamal who he saw in a dream. The story chronicles his travels in search of the fairy and the spiritual lessons he learns on the way...anyone? *:

Salaamz,

Have a look at this site as it has many Kashmiri songs...
www.kashmir.net

Tariq^

hmm can someone translate it?

As homer simpson would say: "Doh!"

wait.. kashmiri's have their own language?! Why didn't I know about this? I mean look at me, I am obviously kashmiri.. gosh!

no i dont know the song; but i just know that it is not koshur.

but thank you manobilli for answering the question

I believe it is a different dialect from the azad kashmir side. Similar to Henko or Pahari dialect.

Do you know the song though, P_j106?

i am very confused as i am kashmiri (indian kashmir )and speak it very well; but these lyrics do not sound koshur??they sound more like punjabi??correct me if im wrong?

Thank you very much for your effort Manobilli.

Well, this song is for sure Kashmiri.

Man I wish it would leave all the spaces.
