About Western Punjabi
Western Punjabi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken primarily in the Punjab province of Pakistan. It descends from the medieval Apabhramsha languages and has a rich literary tradition dating back to Sufi poets like Baba Farid in the 12th century. Approximately 93 million people speak Western Punjabi.
Western Punjabi is primarily written in the Shahmukhi script, a modified form of the Perso-Arabic script, distinguishing it from Eastern Punjabi in India which uses the Gurmukhi script. Despite having tens of millions of speakers, it lacks official status in Pakistan, where Urdu is the national language. Interestingly, Punjabi is one of the most spoken languages among diaspora communities in Canada, the UK, and the United States.
