standard punjabi sometimes referred to as majhi is the standard form of punjabi used commonly in education and news broadcasting and is based on the majhi dialect such as the variety used on google translate standard punjabi is also often used in official online services that employ punjabi it is widely used in the tv and entertainment industry of pakistan which is mainly produced in lahore the standard punjabi used in india and pakistan has slight differences in india it excludes many of the dialect specific features of majhi in pakistan the standard is closer to the majhi spoken in the urban parts of lahore 39 40 eastern punjabi eastern punjabi refers to the varieties of punjabi spoken in pakistani punjab specifically northern punjabi most of indian punjab the far north of rajasthan and on the northwestern border of haryana it includes the dialects of majhi malwai doabi puadhi and the extinct lubanki 41 western punjabi main article lahnda western punjabi or lahnda لہندا lit western is the name given to the diverse group of punjabi varieties spoken in the majority of pakistani punjab the hazara region most of azad kashmir and small parts of indian punjab such as fazilka 42 43 these include groups of dialects like saraiki pahari pothwari hindko and the extinct inku common dialects like jhangvi shahpuri dhanni and thali which are usually grouped under the term jatki punjabi and the mixed variety of punjabi and sindhi called khetrani 44 depending on context the terms eastern and western punjabi can simply refer to all the punjabi varieties spoken in india and pakistan respectively whether or not they are linguistically eastern western phonology while a vowel length distinction between short and long vowels exists reflected in modern gurmukhi orthographical conventions it is secondary to the vowel quality contrast between centralised vowels ɪ ə ʊ and peripheral vowels iː eː ɛː aː ɔː oː uː in terms of phonetic significance 45 vowels front near front central near back back close iː ਈ اِی uː ਊ اُو near close ɪ ਇ اِ ʊ ਉ اُ close mid eː ਏ اے oː ਓ او mid ə ਅ اَ open mid ɛː ਐ اَے ɔː ਔ اَو open aː ਆ آ the peripheral vowels have nasal analogues 46 there is a tendency with speakers to insert ɪ̯ between adjacent a vowels as a separator this usually changes to ʊ̯ if either vowel is nasalised consonants labial dental alveolar retroflex post alv palatal

palatals there are few exceptions the well established phoneme ʃ may be realised allophonically as the voiceless retroflex fricative ʂ in learned clusters with retroflexes due to its foreign origin it is often also realised as s in e g shalwār salᵊ ʋaːɾᵊ the phonemic status of the consonants f z x ɣ q varies with familiarity with hindustani norms more so with the gurmukhi script with the pairs f pʰ

52 53 some speakers soften the voiceless aspirates t͡ʃʰ pʰ kʰ into fricatives ɕ f x respectively citation needed in rare cases the ɲ and ŋ phonemes in shahmukhi may be represented with letters from sindhi citation needed the ɲ phoneme which is more common than ŋ is written as نی or نج depending on its phonetic preservation e g نیاݨا ɲaːɳaː preserved ñ as opposed to کنج kiɲd͡ʒ assimilated into nj ŋ is always written as نگ diphthongs like hindustani the diphthongs əɪ and əʊ have mostly disappeared but are still retained in some dialects phonotactically long vowels aː iː uː are treated as doubles of their short vowel counterparts ə ɪ ʊ rather than separate phonemes hence diphthongs like ai and au get monophthongised into eː and oː and āi and āu into ɛː and ɔː respectively citation needed the phoneme j is very fluid in punjabi j is only truly pronounced word initially even then it often becomes d͡ʒ where it is otherwise ɪ or i tone unusually for an indo aryan language punjabi distinguishes lexical tones 54 two are distinguished in punjabi falling and rising 55 56 57 these are tone contours but are often mislabelled as low and high tones and sometimes as high falling and low rising although there is no evidence that punjabi tones begin or end at a consistent pitch about 75 of punjabi words have no rising or falling tone and this absence of tone is described with a third label called level tone 55 the transcriptions and tone annotations in the examples below are based on those provided in punjabi university patiala s punjabi english dictionary 58 examples

rising tone in the first syllable and falling in the second some writers describe this as a fourth tone 55 however an acoustic study of six punjabi speakers in the united states found no evidence of a

withheld when words are spoken emphatically or on their own as a form of identification citation needed sequences with the consonant h have some additional gimmicks the sequences ih uh ahi and ahu

induce the devoicing of the main five tonal consonants bh dh ḍh jh gh the gurmukhi script which was developed in the 16th century has separate letters for voiced aspirated sounds so it is thought that the change in pronunciation of the consonants and development of tones may have taken place since that time 57 some other languages in pakistan have also been found to have tonal distinctions including burushaski gujari hindko kalami shina and torwali 66 though these besides hindko seem to be independent of punjabi gemination gemination of a consonant doubling the letter is indicated with adhak in gurmukhi and tashdīd in shahmukhi 67 its inscription with a unique diacritic is a distinct feature of gurmukhi compared to brahmic scripts all consonants except six ṇ ṛ h r v y are regularly geminated the latter four are only geminated in loan words from other languages k there is a tendency to irregularly geminate consonants which follow long vowels except in the final syllable of a word e g menū̃ mennū̃ l it also causes the long vowels to shorten but remain peripheral distinguishing them from the central vowels ə ɪ ʊ this gemination is less prominent than the literarily regular gemination represented by the diacritics mentioned above before a non final prenasalised consonant m long vowels undergo the same change but no gemination occurs the true gemination of a consonant

gurmukhi script punjabi has a canonical word order of sov subject object verb 68 function words are largely postpositions marking grammatical case on a preceding nominal 69 punjabi distinguishes two genders two numbers and six cases direct oblique vocative ablative locative and instrumental the ablative occurs only in the singular in free variation with oblique case plus ablative postposition and the locative and instrumental are usually confined to set adverbial expressions 70 adjectives when declinable are marked for the gender number and case of the nouns they qualify 71 there is also a t v distinction upon the inflectional case is built a system of particles known as postpositions which parallel english s prepositions it is their use with a noun or verb that is what necessitates the noun or verb taking the oblique case and it is with them that the locus of grammatical function or case marking then lies the punjabi verbal system is largely structured around a combination of aspect and tense mood like the nominal system the punjabi verb takes a single inflectional suffix and is often followed by successive layers of elements like auxiliary verbs and postpositions to the right of the lexical base 72 vocabulary being an indo aryan language the core vocabulary of punjabi consists of tadbhav words inherited from sanskrit 73 74 it contains many loanwords from persian and arabic 73

typically associated with a particular religious group 75 76 although the association is not absolute or exclusive 77 in india punjabi sikhs use gurmukhi a script of the brahmic family which has official status in the state of punjab in pakistan punjabi muslims use shahmukhi a variant of the perso arabic script and closely related to the urdu alphabet sometimes punjabi is recorded in the devanagari script in india albeit rarely 78 the punjabi hindus in india had a preference for devanagari another brahmic script also used for hindi and in the first decades since independence raised objections to the uniform adoption of gurmukhi in the state of punjab 79 but most have now switched to gurmukhi 80 and so the use of devanagari is rare 81 often in literature pakistani punjabi written in shahmukhi is referred as western punjabi or west punjabi and indian punjabi written in gurmukhi is referred as eastern punjabi or east punjabi although the underlying language is the same with a very slight shift in vocabulary towards islamic and sikh words respectively 82 the written standard for shahmukhi also slightly differs from that of gurmukhi as it is used for western dialects whereas gurumukhi is used to write eastern dialects historically various local brahmic scripts including laṇḍā and its descendants were also in use 81 83 the punjabi braille is used by the visually impaired
