About Punjabi
Punjabi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by 130 million native speakers worldwide, making it the 10th most widely spoken language in the world. It is the native language of the Punjabi people who inhabit the historical Punjab region of Pakistan and India.
Punjabi is the fourth most spoken language in England and Wales and third most spoken in Canada. The language also has a significant presence in the United Arab Emirates, United States of America, Canada, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Australia.
Punjabi emerged as an independent lan-guage in the 12th century. Over the years a rich literary tradition has been developed in the Punjabi language, which includes examples of heroic ballads, epic poetry, stories of romantic tragedy, etc.
According to the 2016 Australian Census, the
number of speakers of Punjabi is rapidly in-
creasing.
