His view was that the Gurbani language was infact the language spoken in Punjab at that time, ie the Puratan Punjabi.
Secondly, he says that Gurbani langauge was influenced by the Lahndi dialect (or Multani), that was considered the standard Punjabi at the time.

 Importance of Stringed Instruments in Gurbani Kirtan
Mirasis who sang and performed Gurbani Kirtan, were renamed Rababis, and became the established singers of the Guru’s Court (in 1521 at Kartarpur).
In western classical music, melody and harmony (especially since the introduction of tempered-scale tuning in the 17th century) are intertwined, thus when a singer presents a beautiful melody, it must fit within a strict harmonic-pitch structure.
It has become obvious to many, after hearing Gurbani Sangeet with the inclusion the Gurus’ beloved stringed instruments, that this is the way Kirtan was intended to be accompanied, along with a drone and percussion rhythm background.

 SikhSpectrum.com Monthly. Gurbani’s Correct Interpretation: A Rejoinder
I think it was his understanding of Gurbani (sacred hymns of AGGS), which prompted him to drop the second and third line, as they are inconsistent with Gurbani.
It is my sincere appeal to all, who want to glorify Guru Nanak, to use their talents and time to translate Gurbani as accurately as possible into English so that we could present this unique philosophy as a gift to mankind and leave it as an inheritance for the future generations.
For proper interpretation of Gurbani, one must keep in mind the fundamental principles of Nankian philosophy described by Guru Nanak in the opening verse of AGGS, the theme of the whole shabad containing the verse and the meaning of the verse of rhau (pause).

There are several views on this, but perhaps the most important reason is that incorrect singing or recitation of Gurbani could change the meanings of Gurbani.
Thus, the words found in Gurbani without the pairi bindi, that we today write with that sign, were pronounced without those sounds in the Guru-period.
Thus, the siharis and aunkars found in Gurbani should be pronouned, according to this view.
