Punjabi is an ancient language that belongs to the Indo-European family of languages. Both Gurmukhi and Shamukhi are scripts used to write the Punjabi language. Shahmukhi is prevalent in Pakistani while Gurmukhi is used to write Punjabi in India and wherever the Sikhs and Indian Punjabis live. The modern Gurmukhi script was specifically designed by Guru Angad Dev, the second Sikh Guru as per Guru Nanak Dev’s direction. The primary Sikh scripture Sri Guru Granth Sahib is written in Gurmukhi script and so are almost all Sikh scriptures and Janamsakhis. As far as the Punjabi language is concerned it is very similar in Pakistan and India. Gurmukhi is the most suitable language for writing Punjabi because it is a native alphabet developed right in Punjab and not imported from a foreign country. In fact, it is very suitable to just about any language. Sri Guru Granth Sahib is not all in Punjabi; it uses about a dozen or so regional languages which were common in the Indian region, yet they are beautifully rendered in Gurmukhi script read less
