Facts about Panjabi

Panjabi (or Punjabi) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by the Punjabi people and native to the Punjab region of Pakistan and India.

It has approximately 113 million native speakers. The larger part – 80.5 million as of 2017 – are in Pakistan, where Punjabi has more speakers than any other language but no official recognition at the national or provincial level. In India, Punjabi is spoken by 31.1 million people (as of 2011) and has official status in the state of Punjab. The language is spoken among a significant overseas diaspora, particularly in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

In India, Punjabi is written using the Gurmukhi script, while Shahmukhi is used in Pakistan. Punjabi is unusual among Indo-Aryan languages (and Indo-European languages more generally) in its use of lexical tone.
