Detailed explanation-1: -Punjabi developed from Prakrit languages and later Apabhraṃśa (Sanskrit: , ‘deviated’ or ‘non-grammatical speech’) From 600 BC, Sanskrit developed as the standard literary and administrative language and Prakrit languages evolved into many regional languages in different parts of India.
Detailed explanation-2: -In India, Punjabi is written in the distinctive Gurmukhi script, which is particularly associated with the Sikhs. That script is a member of the Indic family of scripts, written from left to right, but in its organization it differs significantly from the Devanagari used to write Hindi.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1604 Arjan, the fifth Guru of the Sikhs, collected the poems of Gurus Nanak, Angad, Amar Das, Ram Das, and others into the most-famous book to originate in the Punjab (though its language is not entirely Punjabi), the Adi Granth (“First Book”).
Detailed explanation-4: -The literary languages that have developed on the basis of dialects of this area are Standard Punjabi in eastern and central Punjab, Saraiki in the southwest, and Hindko and Pahari-Pothwari in the northwest.
Detailed explanation-5: -Punjabi is an Indo-Aryan language. It is the first language of about 160 million people, and is the 9th most spoken language in the world. Most of the people who speak this language live in the Punjab region of Pakistan and India.
