THE PUNJABI LANGUAGE

Punjabi is the language of the natives of Punjab and Pakistan province of Punjab. It evolved during the periodreligious revival in the 15

thand 16

thcentury, by Guru Nanak. It is written in the Gurmukhi Script, which

literally means from the mouth of the Guru, referring to its use in the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripturof the Sikhs.

Gurmukhi character is followed by its Roman transliteration with each consonant to end in a, in the absenceof any other vowel sign, consonant is followed by an inherent a sound (like a in majority), unless it occurthe end of each word, when it is not pronounced or is otherwise silenced. Aspirated consonants are producedwith an audible expulsion of breath, non-aspirated consonants with minimal breath. Punjabi for exampledistinguishes unaspirated kaandtafrom khaand tha. Then there are the dental and retroflex consonants. Indental the tongue touches the upper front teeth, whereas with the retroflex the tip of the tongue is curledupwards against the palate. Nasal sound in this text is shownas n*.

VOWELS

Vowels may take on a long form (top row) or a short form (bottom row); this eliminates the need to write othe complete letter. Punjabi has three vowel symbols.

X ooraa aira^ iriThese are used only in the beginning of a word or as second member of compound vowel. Names are given fthe short form.
