Punjabi

Punjabi is a language which is spoken by about 130 million people. Unsurprisingly perhaps, the language is principally spoken in the Punjab region in the north of India and in Pakistan, where it is also an official language. The language is also spoken in various other countries. Punjabi is an Indo-Aryan language, which itself is a daughter of Indo-European. The language’s vocabulary has been subject to a great deal of influence from other languages like Persian, Hindi, and English. Punjabi has spread all over the world through the process of immigration. The language has subsequently been influenced by the local languages so that Punjabi can sound very different depending on where it is being spoken. There is also no official consensus about the vocabulary and spelling.

The script

There is no one script in which Punjabi is written. Depending on the region, religion, and dialect, Shahmukhi and Gurmukhi are the most frequently used scripts. Gurmukhi is mostly used in the Punjab itself. Some use the Devanagari, while Shahmukhi and Gurmukhi are considered the official alphabets of the language.
