Basics of Punjabi Language
Punjabi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by millions of people in Punjab, a region divided between India and Pakistan. It is the 10th most spoken language in the world, with a vibrant culture and history. Punjabi uses two scripts: Gurmukhi in India and Shahmukhi in Pakistan. Both scripts add to the language's richness and reflect the cultural diversity of its speakers.
Punjabi is known for its rhythmic tone, often referred to as a "tone language," where the pitch can change the meaning of words. It has a strong oral tradition, with folk songs, poetry, and proverbs playing a big role in everyday life.
You can use this typing tool to type Punjabi in Gurmukhi. It contains 37 consonants and 10 vowels. Punjabi numbers follow the decimal point numerical system just like in English.
