This paper discusses the settlement of the first and second generations of Siraiki speakers in London and their attachment to their mother tongue as a key identity marker. Their convoluted Siraiki-Pakistani-British identities have been explored through their attempts to transfer Siraiki to their second generation through communication, literature and cultural practices. The ethnographic data collected from London is discussed in the light of the first generation's experiences with social hierarchies, inequality, power dynamics, identity politics, and the second generation's fundamental struggle to remain connected with its mother tongue and mother culture.
