What are the varieties of Punjabi?

Punjabi is the official language of the Indian state of Punjab. Although not officially recognised, it is also spoken by a large number of people in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Major Punjabi-speaking communities can also be found in Canada, the UK and elsewhere.

Eastern Punjabi and Western Punjabi are the two main varieties. The former is spoken primarily in the Punjab State of India while the latter in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Interestingly enough, under the umbrella of Eastern and Western Punjabi, there are actually numerous dialects. The dialects, though different in certain pronunciation and vocabulary, are mutually intelligible in general. Punjabi speakers overseas even incorporate elements of more than one language into Punjabi, creating a norm different from that of Punjabi used in India and Pakistan.

Did you know?

Punjabi can be written in two different scripts, namely Shahmukhi and Gurmukhi, making it one of the most unique languages in the world. Although Punjabi is not recognised as an official language of a country, it has gained exceptional recognition worldwide. In Canada, it is considered the parliament’s third language after English and French. 

Languages such as Urdu, Hindi, Sanskrit, English and Spanish have heavily influenced the evolution of modern Punjabi. As the Bollywood culture further modernizes Punjabi, Punjabi songs in these movies are setting new sales records, a few of which are pretty popular in the bars and nightclubs of the western world!
