Punjabi is natively known as ਪੰਜਾਬੀ / پنجابی and belongs to the Indo-European, Indo-Aryan, Northwestern language family.
There are approximately 113 million native speakers worldwide.
Punjabi is the most spoken language in Pakistan by native speakers, though Urdu is the national language, and it is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India.
It is a tonal language with three tones (high, mid, low), making it unusual among Indo-Aryan languages.
Punjabi is written in two scripts: Gurmukhi (used by Sikhs in India) and Shahmukhi (a modified Arabic script used in Pakistan).
The Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism, is written primarily in Punjabi using the Gurmukhi script.
Punjabi has the largest body of Sufi poetry in any South Asian language, with legendary poets including Baba Bulleh Shah and Waris Shah.
The Punjabi community is one of the fastest-growing in Australia, with a significant portion of India-born migrants being Punjabi speakers. Concentrated in Melbourne (Craigieburn, Truganina), Sydney (Harris Park, Blacktown), and Adelaide, the community is predominantly Sikh. Vaisakhi, Lohri, and Gurpurabs are important cultural celebrations. Punjabi is among the top ten languages spoken at home in Australia.
About Singapore
Singapore, an island city-state off southern Malaysia, is a global financial center with a tropical climate and multicultural population. Its colonial core centers on the Padang, a cricket field since the 1830s and now flanked by grand buildings such as City Hall, with its 18 Corinthian columns. In Singapore's circa-1820 Chinatown stands the red-and-gold Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, said to house one of Buddha's teeth.
Stamford Raffles founded colonial Singapore in 1819 as a trading post of the East India Company; after its collapse and the eventual establishment of the British Raj, the islands were ceded to Britain and became part of its Straits Settlements in 1826. During the Second World War, Singapore was occupied by Japan. It gained independence from the UK in 1963 by federating with other former British territories to form Malaysia, but separated two years later over ideological differences, becoming a sovereign nation in 1965.
