Tips for English to Punjabi translation
Punjabi is written in two scripts: Gurmukhi (used in Indian Punjab, created by Sikh gurus) and Shahmukhi (Arabic-based, used in Pakistani Punjab). This translator outputs Gurmukhi script. The same language with two scripts is similar to the Serbian Latin/Cyrillic situation.
Punjabi is a tonal language with three tones (high, mid, low), unusual among Indo-Aryan languages. The tones developed from lost aspirated consonants and affect meaning: kora (leper), kora (horse, with different tone), kora (whip, with yet another tone).
Punjabi is the most spoken language in Pakistan (by native speakers) and the tenth most spoken language in the world. Despite this, it has limited official status in Pakistan, where Urdu is the national language.
Punjabi grammar follows SOV word order with postpositions, similar to Hindi and Urdu. Verb conjugations encode tense, person, number, and gender.
About the Punjabi language
Punjabi is spoken by about 125 million people, making it the tenth most spoken language in the world. It is the most spoken language in Pakistan (by native speakers) and the official language of the Indian state of Punjab. The Punjabi diaspora is one of the largest in the world, with major communities in Canada, the UK, and the US.
Punjabi culture is known for its vibrant music (bhangra has gone global), cuisine (tandoori and Punjabi curry are internationally famous), and the Sikh religion, which originated in Punjab and has about 25 million followers worldwide. The Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) in Amritsar is the most sacred site in Sikhism.
