@@susmitamajumdar9792 You can't be jingoistic when it comes to truth. In fact Punjabi is a template for the development of Urdu. And it's the culture of the Indian subcontinent.

Moreover, in Pakistan Sindhi and Punjabi are Indo Aryan languages whose speakers share cultural similarity not Pashtuns and Balochis.
I’d think that two languages with only 60% lexical similarity are certainly not dialects of a single language. Spanish and Portuguese have 89% similarity and are still considered two different languages
I'm a native Spanish speaker that also speaks Portuguese, and I would dare to say that these two languages could pretty much be considered dialects of one language, since we mostly understand each other. This is unlike Mandarin and Cantonese, which are considered "dialects" of Chinese, yet they are mutually unintelligible (I also speak these two languages, so I can confirm this to be the case).
People understand eact other there are many punjani live in saharanpur they only speak punjabi but as a hindi speaker we are able to understand every word
PUNJABI is a separate language and not a dialect to Hindi, though it is very close to Hindi these days. It is because both languages have accepted a few words from each other. Punjabi has its own grammar and two scripts. In Pakistan its written in Shahmukhi script(as Urdu) and in India it is written in Gurmukhi script.
@Kono Dutch Punjabi literally has 'one' tonal case, which is because one of the consonants from its ancestor language was lost and replaced by a tonal difference - (the original is still retained in the neighboring Hindustani languages) It's an edge case not a core feature of the language like in Chinese. Basically the written of Punjabi retains the character analogous to the hindustani variant but the spoken form mostly needs to be guessed from context.
Punjabi is the only Indo Aryan language with tone. That's the common ground with Mandarin or Sinaitic languages. Otherwise it is not connected to lexically or by classification to Mandarin. This feature is called the pitched accents and is a part of Sanskrit called the udatt anuddatt renditions. It is mainly found in the Majhi dialect spoken in districts of Amritsar, Lahore, Sialkot and Lyallpur.
Most Punjabi speakers, or at least the younger urban generation, are bilingual in both Indian and Pakistan speaking Punjabi and Hindi or Punjabi and Urdu. I want to ask if those speakers consider the Hindi pronunciation of certain words more correct than the tonal Punjabi pronunciation?
@@bletwort2920 I doubt they'd call Hindi 'correct' - Hindi and Punjabi are equally old languages. But in this case Hindi retains the sound of that letter from the old Prakrit version which is the ancestor of both languages. I don't even know if Pakistani punjabis would know the difference since they read and write in the arabic-style Shahmukhi script rather than the original Gurmukhi script and would not be aware of the consonant sounds in the sanskrit-based Nagari script which is used for Hindi
@@bletwort2920 Also, Hindi is seen as an inferior language in Indian Punjab, that is why it is easy for Punjabis to understand Hindi rather than another way around.
Or...is Hindi a dialect of Punjabi? I think the real answer is they're descended from the same language and have continued to exist side by side so long that they continue to borrow from one another (especially from hindi to punjabi since the independence of India)
Just because it has tones( which it sounds more like pitch accent) does not mean it is similar to Chinese. Most African languages( over than Swahili) and most Native American languages are tonal.
Punjabi is older than Hindi. The earliest mention of Punjabi starts by 600AD when many Hindu poets and philosophers were writing about philosophy. Hindi diverged out of Hindustani. Which is native to Utter Pradesh.
Punjabi is older than Hindi but not from Sanskrit bcs it's dialect of Sanskrit for eg bani punjabi word but real word Vani of Sanskrit and guru is same in both and many more words

Punjabi and Hindi are different however there is another language in Pakistan called Saraiki which is mutually intangible with Punjabi some people call it Multani Punjabi.
The similarities between the Hindustani languages and Punjabi are just different standards of Sanskrit arose in different regions. Linguisticly Hindi is much younger than Punjabi. However their similarities lie as descendants of Sanskrit, just like how Latin became vulgar Latin in many Roman Provinces after the fall of the Roman empire and later became the Romance languages. They share some familiar words, such as Bonjour in both Italian and French, but that doesn't mean they are dialects of one another
As a native Punjabi speaker, I can understand Hindi/Urdu perfectly and for some Hindi speakers. It most likely is this way because I grew up with Hindi news and movies but Punjabi music and some Punjabi movies.

Read the book Punjabi by Christopher Shackle, he was professor of Modern languages at Soas. I would address a lot of the questions that arise in this video.
I wouldn't say that tones make Punjabi similar to Chinese. It's like saying that agglutination makes Hungarian similar to Georgian. Serbian and Swedish also have tones that distinguish between meanings. Hungarian, Czech and Slovak have a similar phenomenon with vowel length.
Contrary to the popular opinion, Punjabi didn't originate in the Punjab region. Research suggests that it shares its roots with Tibetan. A long time ago, when Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Tibet didn't have complex borders, there was free trade and movement among the regions, and that led to a great linguistic influence. Maybe that's how we see tones in Punjabi similar to Tibetan and other languages of China. The farther north you travel up in the Himalayas, more tonal features you are likely to observe in local languages. Dogri, for example is clearly a dialect of Punjabi but with a more complex tonal structure.

Punjabi spoken in Punjab is hard to understand for anyone who is not from there , but these languages share roots of Indian languages and script , I speak punjabi but sometimes I get lost when I hear the village people talk.
Hmmm, this video is kind of..... put simply Punjabi is older than Hindi. It was created by Yogis, a variation of Sanskrit but the base of the language is formed by the native language of the Punjab region. So rather it became it's own language. After years of invasion, Punjabi languages parent language changed from just sanskrit to also includ Persian and Arabic. Your welcome.

Panjabi is an older language than Hindi. Maybe Hindi is an dialect of Panjabi. The Panjabi language has various words of Persian, Sanskrit and Arabic origin.
If my memory serves me well, baba farid first made Punjabis use common, it was used before but he made it popular, so that is around 1200, while Hindi wasn't the official language of India till British rule, as Mughal and Sikh empires used Persian as their court language
Ma boli punjabi. Punjabi is distinct from hindi. its even older then hindi urdu. the older punjabi is so different from hindi. he wouldn't even have doubted the language status
Hindi dialect of prakhit and aphbransh or sorshani which is older punjabii...both urdu and hindi formed from this..... Later brahmans......added sanskrit tatsm in it
For God Sake You are making a video for a language and you are just putting “facts” by just simply google them. Punjabi is older and larger/greater language than (Hindustani/Urdu/Hindi) It has two scripts to read and write. 1. Gurmukhi 2. Shahmukhi And punjabi have so many dialects further like (maajhi, chaachi, multani, jhangochi, siraiki etc etc) Huge amount of literature in punajbi language was produced before colonialism in subcontinent. And still we have great punjabi writers in India, Pakistan and all over the world. In fact some big names of Urdu and Hindi literature are basically Punjabis. It’s the 9th largest language on planet earth.
I speak mix of two dialects of Panjabi, i.e. Poonch and Majha. My mother is from Poonch and father from Gurdaspur. And on my first day at school in Chandigarh (it was Army school) i didn't understood the single word of what teachers were saying nor did i understood "Malwa" and "Powadhi" dialect of Panjabi.
I have to state emphatically that the relative low amount of lexical similarity and anecdotal evidence of asymmetrical mutual intelligibility distinguishes Punjabi as a separate language from Hindi. The tonality in Punjabi also makes it exceptionally different and distinct as a language from Hindi. The more compelling arguments for dialects of Hindi come from within the Hindi belt region and some of them are themselves very different from standard Hindi and could be seen as examples of a dialect continuum much as you see amongst the Romance languages of Europe. I think from what I have understood Punjabi is in fact one of the more distant examples of a wider North Indian dialect continuum.
Punjabi was here before hindi though....and punjabi is the only tonal language of India.....so if say "ja oye" in different tone it menas different things....it can mean....shut up to go away...to stop it....to...really...to don't do it....to I don't wanna do it.
Punjabi is an independent Indo-Aryan language, just related to Hindi but not a dialect of Hindi, the two languages have shared vocabulary but pronounciation of words is different
I speak Chinese, and the first time I watched the film Partition (2007) I noticed similarities between Chinese and Punjabi. Some words sound the same. Just take for example the word for war, it is jang in Punjabi and zhang in Chinese. Different spelling, same pronunciation.
Hindi is a standardized register of Hindustani. Punjabi is a completely different language genetically related to Hindi via Sanskrit. Saying Punjabi is a Hindi dialect is like saying Dutch is a dialect of Standard American English.
Punjabi is independent language Its literature dates back to 10th century and it began in its peculiar form in 7th century So it is much older language It existed even when hindi was not formed So you can say opposite that hindi is influenced by punjabi
As a Pakistani punjabi I myself can find it difficult understanding different accents of punjabi here in pakistan punjab there are so many accents. Mine for example could be easily be understood by urdu speakers and it's not because we have started to use urdu words I'm from a village in northern punjab and in my area everyone speaks like this natively its very different from the punjabi accent in indian movies which btw I love so much because it sounds so energetic and soulful. So it is so interesting to see how people in a not so huge area have so much accents
Punjabi is an independent language,and north indo aryan language and has zero resemblances with mandarin.And tonal influences means nothing,when even Dogri also has tonal effect.
Firstly, Punjabi is older, so the question is posed inversely. Secondly, a Hindi speaker without any exposure/education won't be able to understand Punjabi, they will just be able to pick up a few common words as you said. Definitely not a dialect.
1 thing Panjabi is not a diaclet of Hindi it sounds different from Hindu it as it's own writing system . 2 thing Panjabi as nothing similar with Chinese I can said so because I am a native Panjabi speaker and I know my language very well
I want to tell you when punjabi was made most words are not similar to hindi for example- when punjabi was made people call ਭਲਕੇ ( bhalke ) for tommorow
Punjabi is its own language. Punjabis oldest poet is Baba Fareed Ganj Shakar who did Hamd of Allah in it . There are 100 million punjabi speakers in Pakistan.
Well, the tones you pointed out to don't really sound like tones. They basically sound like different letters altogether. Like the word for house sounds like ghar, the word for dandruff like khar, and the word for do like kar. So yeah don't really sound like tones.
Punjabi was not considered a dialect of Hindi before 1966..... Gujrati and Marathi are much more closer to Hindi than Punjabi!!! It has a different script for a couple of hundred years!!!!

@@soham769 Punjabi is more similar to Dogri, Hindko, Seraiki than it is to Hindi. Actually Haryanvi is closer to Hindi. Punjabi is as close to Hindi as Hindi is close to Bengali. So please stop trying to connect with us.
1. Punjabi is not a dialect of either Hindi or Urdu. It's much older than that. 2. Punjabi is written in two different scripts Shahmukhi and Gurmukhi. Shahmukhi uses Perso-Arabic derived alphabets where Gurmukhi uses Brahmic derived alphabets. After partition of India and Pakistan, Shahmukhi used is in Pakistani Punjab and Gurmukhi in Indian Punjab. One thing to note is that Shahmukhi is the original script used in Punjabi before the birth of Sikh religion and subsequently the Gurmukhi script. Here's an example of my name written in both Punjabi scripts- جوبنجوت سنگھ(Shahmukhi)/ਜੋਬਨਜੋਤ ਸਿੰਘ(Gurmukhi). I think this thing alone makes Punjabi one of the most unique South Asian languages.
Hindi was not spoken in a single state of India at the time of partition (1947). Hindi and Urdu are modern manmade artificial languages, whereas punjabi litereture goes 12 centuries back in history.
someone who gets it. this doesn't even speak punjabi how does he doubt the status of punjabi. If a Pind wala spoke Punjabi, no hindi speaker would understand. because Punjabi is a Language. not a dialect
punjabi is a completely seperate language and being raised watching bollywood movies most of which has punjabi songs it aint that hard to understand punjabi if you listen to it attentively . until and unless the punjabi they feature in bollywood is watered down hindi mixed version of punjabi, even i can understand punjabi.
Keep doing your great work in breaking down languages for this RUclips community! Although it is something interesting to think about, Punjabi's tones that you cite do not happen on all the words in Punjabi as they do in Mandarin or Cantonese. It is a historical linguistic adaption that presents itself here, and tones only are applied to certain words. That being said, also look at the 'same words' that are examples toward the end of the video. Using English script, they may appear to be 'same words', and perhaps they sound similar to non-native speakers, but if you actually read the Gurumukhi for those three words transliterated in English as 'kar,' they actually are three complete different words with different consonants. So, when it comes to approaching the languages of India in particular, tread, learn, and read carefully.
Most of the Sino-Tibetan languages of India are tonal. Please make video on Sino-Tibetan indigenous people of India. Their languages are often neglected by Government of India despite being indigenous people, as a result, their languages are endangered
Wrong Information. Whole Punjabi Can Understand Hindi Language. I am not considering other dialects of hindi or grammar of books. I am talking about only just hindi language. No one can understand his own fully grammer. Everyone do mistakes in their own grammar. Bcz no one speak their language according to the grammar. But whole hindian can not understand punjabi dialogues.
As a Hindi speaker, Punjabi definitely sounds like an independent language. I can make sense of most Punjabi I have heard (vlogs, some of my favourite Punjabi singers, interviews) to some degree, but by make sense, I mean, I know what topic is being discussed and what's the context of the conversation. I can't read Punjabi in the slightest. I'd say it's as similar to Hindi as Spanish is to English.
...Punjabi is a completely different and independent language. Also, it's not at all related to Chinese. The only similarity is that they're tonal, and that's about it.

As a native Punjabi speaker, who is currently studying Advanced Level Chinese, I can assure you that Punjabi and Mandarin Chinese are completely different languages and hardly have any similarities. Also, Punjabi is an independent language that does sound a little bit similar to Hindi. Furthermore, Punjabi does not have 3 tones. If you look at the alphabet we have 12 sounds from Moharni that can apply to each letter of the alphabet.

Punjabi has some influence of Persian, Arabic and sanskrit....hindi speaking people not understand pynjabi...so its clearly diffrent language (punjabi people can understand hindi, urdu and persian easily)
Firstly Punjabi is not a dialect of Hindi. Actually all languages we are speaking today are just mixed up. The pure forms just arrived from Prakrit which came from Sanskrit but the thing is most people cant read Sanskrit at all, so the best thing is learn English for conversation with other language speakers and simultaneously speak your native language with your people.
As a non native Hindi speaker, I would put my bet on Punjabi being an independent language.

The similarities between the Hindustani languages and Punjabi are just different standards of Sanskrit arose in different regions. Linguisticly Hindi is much younger than Punjabi. However their similarities lie as descendants of Sanskrit, just like how Latin became vulgar Latin in many Roman Provinces after the fall of the Roman empire and later became the Romance languages. They share some familiar words, such as Bonjour in both Italian and French, but that doesn't mean they are dialects of one another
As a native Punjabi speaker, I can understand Hindi/Urdu perfectly and for some Hindi speakers. It most likely is this way because I grew up with Hindi news and movies but Punjabi music and some Punjabi movies.
Punjabi much older than modern hindi.

I wouldn't say that tones make Punjabi similar to Chinese. It's like saying that agglutination makes Hungarian similar to Georgian. Serbian and Swedish also have tones that distinguish between meanings. Hungarian, Czech and Slovak have a similar phenomenon with vowel length.
Yeah, tones don't make languages similar to Chinese... Also, tones don't mean that people sing while they speak, they just speak.
Contrary to the popular opinion, Punjabi didn't originate in the Punjab region. Research suggests that it shares its roots with Tibetan. A long time ago, when Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Tibet didn't have complex borders, there was free trade and movement among the regions, and that led to a great linguistic influence. Maybe that's how we see tones in Punjabi similar to Tibetan and other languages of China. The farther north you travel up in the Himalayas, more tonal features you are likely to observe in local languages. Dogri, for example is clearly a dialect of Punjabi but with a more complex tonal structure.

Hmmm, this video is kind of..... put simply Punjabi is older than Hindi.

For God Sake
You are making a video for a language and you are just putting “facts” by just simply google them.
Punjabi is older and larger/greater language than (Hindustani/Urdu/Hindi)
It has two scripts to read and write.
1. Gurmukhi
2. Shahmukhi
And punjabi have so many dialects further like (maajhi, chaachi, multani, jhangochi, siraiki etc etc)
Huge amount of literature in punajbi language was produced before colonialism in subcontinent. And still we have great punjabi writers in India, Pakistan and all over the world.
In fact some big names of Urdu and Hindi literature are basically Punjabis.
It’s the 9th largest language on planet earth.
I speak mix of two dialects of Panjabi, i.e. Poonch and Majha. My mother is from Poonch and father from Gurdaspur.
And on my first day at school in Chandigarh (it was Army school) i didn't understood the single word of what teachers were saying nor did i understood "Malwa" and "Powadhi" dialect of Panjabi.
I have to state emphatically that the relative low amount of lexical similarity and anecdotal evidence of asymmetrical mutual intelligibility distinguishes Punjabi as a separate language from Hindi. The tonality in Punjabi also makes it exceptionally different and distinct as a language from Hindi. The more compelling arguments for dialects of Hindi come from within the Hindi belt region and some of them are themselves very different from standard Hindi and could be seen as examples of a dialect continuum much as you see amongst the Romance languages of Europe. I think from what I have understood Punjabi is in fact one of the more distant examples of a wider North Indian dialect continuum.
I was raised in canada and learned punjabi at home. With no hindi. I have a really hard time understanding hindi
Punjabi is one of the few Indo-Aryan languages which has tones and a pitch accent, hence like Manadrin Chinese
Punjabi was here before hindi though....and punjabi is the only tonal language of India.....so if say "ja oye" in different tone it menas different things....it can mean....shut up to go away...to stop it....to...really...to don't do it....to I don't wanna do it.
Punjabi is an independent Indo-Aryan language, just related to Hindi but not a dialect of Hindi, the two languages have shared vocabulary but pronounciation of words is different
I speak Chinese, and the first time I watched the film Partition (2007) I noticed similarities between Chinese and Punjabi. Some words sound the same. Just take for example the word for war, it is jang in Punjabi and zhang in Chinese. Different spelling, same pronunciation.
What about Cha (Tea)?
Hindi is a standardized register of Hindustani. Punjabi is a completely different language genetically related to Hindi via Sanskrit. Saying Punjabi is a Hindi dialect is like saying Dutch is a dialect of Standard American English.

So you can say opposite that hindi is influenced by punjabi
Hindi is 86% sanskrit and prakrit.

Yes Hindi speakers can understand punjabi. Atleast basic conversation. Written punjabi is totally different to hindi
Firstly, Punjabi is older, so the question is posed inversely. Secondly, a Hindi speaker without any exposure/education won't be able to understand Punjabi, they will just be able to pick up a few common words as you said. Definitely not a dialect.
PUNJABI IS A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE
Someone with mind
Right
1 thing Panjabi is not a diaclet of Hindi it sounds different from Hindu it as it's own writing system .
2 thing Panjabi as nothing similar with Chinese
I can said so because I am a native Panjabi speaker and I know my language very well
First it's not a dilect it has two scripts in which it can be written and second it has nothing to do with mandarine
I want to tell you when punjabi was made most words are not similar to hindi for example- when punjabi was made people call ਭਲਕੇ ( bhalke ) for tommorow
Punjabi is its own language. Punjabis oldest poet is Baba Fareed Ganj Shakar who did Hamd of Allah in it . There are 100 million punjabi speakers in Pakistan.
Well, the tones you pointed out to don't really sound like tones. They basically sound like different letters altogether. Like the word for house sounds like ghar, the word for dandruff like khar, and the word for do like kar. So yeah don't really sound like tones.

1. Punjabi is not a dialect of either Hindi or Urdu. It's much older than that.
2. Punjabi is written in two different scripts Shahmukhi and Gurmukhi. Shahmukhi uses Perso-Arabic derived alphabets where Gurmukhi uses Brahmic derived alphabets. After partition of India and Pakistan, Shahmukhi used is in Pakistani Punjab and Gurmukhi in Indian Punjab. One thing to note is that Shahmukhi is the original script used in Punjabi before the birth of Sikh religion and subsequently the Gurmukhi script. Here's an example of my name written in both Punjabi scripts- جوبنجوت سنگھ(Shahmukhi)/ਜੋਬਨਜੋਤ ਸਿੰਘ(Gurmukhi). I think this thing alone makes Punjabi one of the most unique South Asian languages.
Punjabi is different language, not a hindi's dialect. Because even Punjabi has many dialects even more than 20

Keep doing your great work in breaking down languages for this RUclips community!
Although it is something interesting to think about, Punjabi's tones that you cite do not happen on all the words in Punjabi as they do in Mandarin or Cantonese. It is a historical linguistic adaption that presents itself here, and tones only are applied to certain words. That being said, also look at the 'same words' that are examples toward the end of the video. Using English script, they may appear to be 'same words', and perhaps they sound similar to non-native speakers, but if you actually read the Gurumukhi for those three words transliterated in English as 'kar,' they actually are three complete different words with different consonants. So, when it comes to approaching the languages of India in particular, tread, learn, and read carefully.
Mr punjabi s history is older than hindi.. It has its own writing script. It represents different culture.
I am a native Bengali speaker and I can understand quite a lot of words of Punjabi due to its similarities with Hindi.

No one can understand his own fully grammer. Everyone do mistakes in their own grammar. Bcz no one speak their language according to the grammar. But whole hindian can not understand punjabi dialogues.
As a Hindi speaker, Punjabi definitely sounds like an independent language. I can make sense of most Punjabi I have heard (vlogs, some of my favourite Punjabi singers, interviews) to some degree, but by make sense, I mean, I know what topic is being discussed and what's the context of the conversation. I can't read Punjabi in the slightest. I'd say it's as similar to Hindi as Spanish is to English.
Spanish and English belong to different branches of Indo-European family. I'd say what Punjabi is to Hindi is how French is to Portuguese
Theyre different languages.

Firstly Punjabi is not a dialect of Hindi. Actually all languages we are speaking today are just mixed up. The pure forms just arrived from Prakrit which came from Sanskrit but the thing is most people cant read Sanskrit at all, so the best thing is learn English for conversation with other language speakers and simultaneously speak your native language with your people.
