I'm a Sikh myself and often misunderstood as a Bengali. Well its two different thing. My Chinese friends are the ones misunderstood this. Well you should tell them. At times, I do feel irritated too

QUOTE(wodenus @ Nov 30 2010, 11:38 AM) Maybe that's what they called themselves. Nop, i bet i can't. Unless if they speak. I might be able to recognise the tone of Contonese. Not sure bout Hokkien. But aren't that still classifies as Chinese?Added on November 30, 2010, 11:39 am So can you tell Cantonese from Hokkien?   |

QUOTE(faceless @ Dec 1 2010, 09:26 AM) I think you did not get Wodnenus's point. During that time people do dont travel so much since transportation technology is not that advance like today. As such people are ignorant about strange races for distance land. China has so many dialects that it is not so easy for people to tell their location base on their dialect. Even today (with our information age), some still have may not be able to tell easily. Perhaps, I got the wrong meaning.Now you are confusing me. I thought singh is a surname for those whose religion is sikhs. I am surprise that it is a surname for all punjubis. Yes you are tight. Singh is for those whose religion is Sikh. Even the Gurjars, Rajputs use Singh. Of course, its more commonly used by Sikh. But, not all punjabis use the name singh. Because we have punjabi-hindu and stuff like that, so no.

QUOTE(falcon16 @ Dec 1 2010, 07:50 PM) singh is not a surname. Its a sort of a prefix thing for all the sikh guys. Sikh girls always have the word kaur behind their names. This pretty much answered the question bout the name Singh. I my self got mistaken with the word "surname".Surnames are, for example, Gill, Rekhraj, Sidhu like mine is rekhraj. My full name is anildip singh rekhraj ------> rekhraj being my surname from my ancestors i have a friend who is anildip singh gill.... so thats his surname... |
