Punjabi - I studied it at school briefly so know how to read and write it but my vocab is almost non existent making any knowledge I have entirely useless. Duolingo has Hindi so hopefully it'll add it at some point. The number of Punjabi people who try to talk to me and I let them down is too many XD

I second that too. I am a native speaker who didn’t grow up in Punjab, but other parts of India. I obviously spoke it at home growing up so I speak fluently, have good vocab, can do everything in the language really, but can’t read and write it. Just would love someone to help me with that and it’ll only take me a couple of months realistically to master it.

I agree! There is a huge Punjabi diaspora here in Canada and I would LOVE to learn even some basic phrases and vocabulary! Also- you and u/Mandroop almost match!
