Abstract
For centuries proverbs and idioms have been commonly used in folk
Sindhi literature depicting culture, traditions and livelihood of folk people.
These proverbs and idioms were invented by intellectuals and elders of rural
society who invented the same on the basis of their traditional experiences.
Later on these terms transformed from folk lore to modern literature and the
use of proverbs and idioms in writings made the language more rich, powerful
and interesting. In recent past the usage of proverbs and idioms has reduced
and a common man or even students are neither using it nor appreciating the
secret or the meanings hidden behind proverbs and idioms. A critical analysis
of “ “ ،” وو “
”
و “has been done in this paper with reference to its
importance in folk lore and literature. Apart from comprehensive study of all
three branches of literature, recommendations have been made to preserve
these terms and make their use more common in writing and folk lore.
