Punjabi is a language spoken by more than 120 million native speakers in India, Pakistan, and by a very large Indian diaspora worldwide.
Despite this, there seems to be little consensus on one of its most central issues: Is Punjabi simply a dialect of Hindi? Throw in history, politics, and linguistic influences from other languages in the region, and finding the answer is far from easy. We'll have to compare lexical similarity and mutual intelligibility to find out.
Oh, yeah! Did I mention Punjabi is also similar to Chinese? How, you ask? Well, stay tuned. The answer may surprise you!

As a non native Hindi speaker, I would put my bet on Punjabi being an independent language.
Martian Manhunter yes punjabi is independent language
Agreed! I have problems understanding punjabi, I get bits and pieces and have to glue them together and hope it makes sense
They are most certainly independent languages. Notwithstanding that, as a Punjabi speaker it is very easy for me to understand Hindi.
Yess. Punjabi is one of the many languages spoken in India and not a dialect of Hindi
We can understand hindi cause we're smart and jugadi 😂😂😂
No, Punjabi does not soud AT ALL like Chinese... Tones don't make a language similar to Chinese.
@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.
Wait, Punjabi has poetry dating back to before the creation of Hindustani (either Urdu or Hindi), so.... it's not a dialect
Mian Hadi Alim may be true, Punjabi existed before Pakistan, Urdu. Very old Indian language :)
Guys, don't believe them, these foreigners are trying to teach us our own culture ! >:-(
@@susmitamajumdar9792 yes
Yey :))
Or... in hindi written sources was found later than in punjabi
@@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. It's only 70 years ago that this country was partitioned on religious grounds not cultural. Moreover, in Pakistan Sindhi and Punjabi are Indo Aryan languages whose speakers share cultural similarity not Pashtuns and Balochis.
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.

As a native Chinese speaker, I tell you Punjabi sounds completely different from Mandarin Chinese for sure
Except for ' 的 ' which has the same meaning as Punjabi ' ਦਾ ' (pronounced, _da_) :3
Coincidence? I don't know.

But, you have a japanese name ?!
punjabi is similiar to avestan(proto persian language) but not chinese for sure,not even a word
@@muditkhanna8164 I know that punjabi has some similarities with hindi but I never thought it was a dialect of hindi
@@MM-br3gt but both punjabi and hindi has same origin.
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)
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
Don't challenge his "facts" (for which he produces no source whatsoever)
Preach
He is not Indian and is clueless. I don't need some clickbaiting westerner to teach me what my language is or isn't.
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 its own language
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 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.
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.
No one called it Multani Punjabi only uneducated Punjabi nationalist called it Punjabi
its not saraiki
it is punjabi
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

@@sambhavtiwary4904 Pehle to aap ko bataa doon ke mein Baat PUNJABI ki kr raha hoon urdu ke janam ki nahi. Doosri baat yeh ke is maqaam pr itne faseeh tareeqe se ahraab o tazabzab phelaane ki wajah matloob h. Urdu ne bhale hi kaheen bhi janam loye ho, is ki irtaqaa to sirf iski jaae paidaish pr nahi hui na? Agar Arabi o Farsi aur turki zubaani ka milaap na hota, to Urdu kyoonkar waqoo Pazeer hoti?

Agr ap apne daawe me itne hi sache hein to kamaa haqqahoo bataaye ke Urdu ab Bharaat mein kyun thaathein ni maar rhi, ab kya hua. Agr yeh zubaan itni hi bhali maloom hoti h to koi Shaahkaar pesh kijiye.
Kon kahta hai ki bharat urdu bolna bhul gaya hai. Aap kah sakte hai ki bharat ne urdu ki script ( sayad nastliq) ke saath kaaphi kharab raviya apnaya hai jiske parinamswarup kaphi kam log bache hai jinhe urdu ki script aati hai . Iske piche hamare aur apke netaon (siyasatdan) ka haath hai jinhone bharat ko hindu muslim me baatne ki purjor koshishe ki . Ish wajah se yahan urdu ka khasta hal hai . Dusri baat keval persian arabic turkish bhasaon ke words use karna hi urdu nahi kahlati hai. Ek am hindustani ki rojmarah ki boli bhi urdu hoti hai jisme jayada p a t ke words use nahi hote. By the way apne avengers endgame dekhi .

Kher is charcha pr gehre mutaaleya ke baad maaloom hua ke Urdu jo Pakistan mein boli jaati h wo aur jo hindi india mein bolia jaati h woh donon taqreebnn hamsarr hn. Lekin in ki adbi ashkaal qataee yaksaan nahi. App sare tasleem kham karein ya na karein, hamaraan ye atal aqeeda hai ke Urdu Bhaarat mein nahi bachi, illlaaa boht hi qaleel o tang aur kam.

Yeh zubaan musalmaanon ki h aur musalmaan dinya ke chaahe jis bhi kunj mein ho, us ka har doosre masalmaan ke saath khoon se badh kr rishta hota h. To yeh Urdu to boht peeche ki cheez h. By the way try a lil bit harder to inflict some serious literary hindi vocabulary on me!😘
Abhi mai avengers hi dekh raha tha ki apka message aagya isliye sawal puchha . Kher aapke kahne se kuchh nahi hota sachai toh ye hi hai ki duniya ko do khoobsurat bhasa urdu and hindi bharat ne hi di hai . Aapko mai batata chalu ki bharat me 21 crores muslim hai aur unme jo padhe likhe hain unhe urdu padhni aur likhni bhakhoobi aati hai , haan magar ham log jayada persian arabic turkish ka istemal nahi karte . For example agar aap ek bhartiya urdu ki kitab padhiyega to aapko itne saare persian arabic turkish afghani lavsh dekhne ko nahi milenge jo ki pakistan me bole jaate hai . Hamari urdu original hai jinme sabhi p a t ka balance sahi tarike se hain. Huan kuchh yu ki jab pakistan wajood me aaya tab wahan ke siyasatdano ne urdu ko original urdu se mukhtalif banane ki puri koshish ki aur bahut sare fijul me persian turkish etc ke words daal diye aur urdu ko badsurat bana diya . Agar aap ek bhartiye urdu news channel(jo ki original hai) dekhiyega to apko antar samajh me aa jayega .
For more clarity lets take example of punjabi. Agar indian punjabi aur pakistani punjabi ko compare kare to aap payenge ki pakistani punjabi me urdu ke words bahut use hote hai jo ki original nahi hai wahi indian punjabi me original punjabi culture ke words hi use hote hain nahi hindi ,urdu ,sanskrit ke. 1947 se pehle wahan bhi original punjabi boli jaati thi lekin again punjabi ke saath bhi urdu jaisa salukh hua. Mujhe toh kabhi kabhi pakistani punjabi sunke hasin aane lagti hai ki aap log punjabi me bhi fijul me arabi turki ghusane lagte ho .

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.

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
Punjabi much older than modern hindi.

I am happy that this guy atleast pronounce punjabi properly
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.
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.
what do.you say ? Serbian is NOT a tonal language. ...

@@loudfiend4051 Yeah it is but the original poster said marathi is closer to hindi than punjabi is which is incorrect.
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 is Independent Language
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.

WRONG INFORMATION ⚠
Sorry but I really find a lot of information in this video non factual. Take for instance the word 'Arab' and 'Kharab'. Arab is a million and Kharab is 100 million. And it is the same in both languages.
The logic of tonal variation really baffles me. I guess you need to be more familiar with the language to realize what you are talking about.
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
Hindi is 86% sanskrit and prakrit.
Theyre different languages.
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
Hindu can be dialect of punjabi
Coz hindi/urdu is just 1000 year old
Whereas punjabi is almost 2000 year old language
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.
How dare you. Punjabi is not a dialect,it's a Independent language. your kinda uneducated you don't even speak punjabi yet did a whole video on it. firstly punjabi is older then Hindi,urdu. older punjabi is so different from urdu and hindi, you wouldn't even doubt it's language status.

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.
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
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)?

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.
Okay so going off the comment section from both Mandarin and Punjabi speakers saying that both are nothign alike. So what the hell are you talking about lol.
Hindi/Urdu is imposed on punjabi speakers that’s why we Punjabis can understand Urdu/Hindi.
It’s different for English and Germans as they don’t live together and they speak their own languages in their own countries.
Agree
Speak Punjabi, Save Punjabi
@@ariskaur it should be introduced in Pakistani schools of Punjab
@@aliusmanbajwa6422 Wait you guys don’t learn Punjabi in Schools in Pakistan? In India it is taught in Punjab and regulated by the Punjabi Government. There is some Hindi Schools in Punjab too.
@@FirstLast-lo3eo actually that’s the problem, we are struggling for our basic human right here in western Punjab.
Yes Hindi speakers can understand punjabi. Atleast basic conversation. Written punjabi is totally different to hindi
If you consider Punjabi to be a "dialect" of Hindi, then you'll consider every other language in India to be dialect of Hindi 😂. All the Indian languages originated from Sanskrit. Sanskrit is the root language. So to some extent, if you know Hindi or any other Indian language, you can somewhat make out other Indian languages like Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Marwari, etc, etc.
.
PS: South Indian and North-Eastern languages would be harder to understand though. Even though it originated from Sanskrit and shares some words with Hindi and other North Indian languages, it's extremely different. But being a Malayalee myself (i.e. my mother tongue is malayalam), I can understand Tamil, I haven't learned it, still.
So how come I can't understand Sanskrit u liar
Sanskrit come from punjabi dialog
Not a dialect but language ..main of pakistan
Punjabi is a Indian language came from Sanskrit and has nothing to do with Pakistan
@Abhi 'Shrupp' Nandan
Indian subcontinent was all modern Pakistan and Bangladesh, go and do your research!! there never been something called "mughal came to Pakistan"LOL, did you go school, as for language Urdu copies the same origin as Hindi!! the ancestors of the Hindi language traces it roots since thousands of years even before mughal came!!! Urdu and Hindi was coined in 1947 for only Hindus and Indian Muslims only, never was it for Pakistanis!!! lol !!! that Jinnah only adopted the Urdu language cos Muslim adopted to it and one language for all Muslim even regarding different mother tongue!! until Pakistan did not want anything to do with Indian so we gave you part of our land which is now called Pakistan and Bangladesh!! that starts in 1947!!! while the past history belongs to India, this is why Pakistan has no history of past!! do you research cos this really make you dumb!!!
@mighty Monster Arabic itself uses some Sanskrit words, all languages in the world has some influence of Sanskrit...
Iy seems Pakistanis are more intelligent than indians

Punjabi is older than Hindi and Urdu I don't know what you on About mate
Punjabi was and is without a doubt independent of Hindi. It is by no means a dialect. If we go by your logic, then every Indic language is a dialect of Hindi, which isn’t true. All these languages have similarities because they all have a common origin, i.e. Sanskrit.
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
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
Fudddu Half pa-jeet, Punjabi came first, then came hindi. Hindi came from word “hindu” which does not have any literal meaning.
There are two alphabets for Punjabi ? You mean script !
I thought my English was weak 😅😂
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.
Punjabi is one of the few Indo-Aryan languages which has tones and a pitch accent, hence like Manadrin Chinese
There are 26 recognized Dialects of Panjabi
Punjabi is not a dialect of Hindi , because they have different scripts , and not only punjabi is similar to Hindi ,but other indo - Aryan languages such as Gujarati , Bengali are also similar to Hindi and punjabi but they are not dialects of Hindi , Today's Punjabi is mix Punjabi , called modern punjabi . And people speak mix Hindi and punjabi due to cultural fusion in punjab ,but punjabi is different language and also the 10th most spoken language in the world 💓
Punjabi is ancient language. Hindi is new . Question should be is Hindi dilect of Punjabi.
Yaaa...himdi dialect of prakhit and shorahani/east punjab punjabi.....
There has been a Punjabi identity for centuries before 1966. Punjabi has 23+ dialects!
Punjabi has 4 dialect not 23 Majhi powadhi malwi doabi
@@simpleman2677 On Pakistan side, it has more than 4. Indian side has 4 dialects.
Panjabi is an INDEPENDENT AND DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. It is older than hindi and urdu. It has its own grammar which is different than Hindi grammar. It has its own script and moreover it is one of the few languages which are written in more than one scripts. Saying Panjabi a dielect of Hindi is an insult to Panjabi. And last but on the least Panjabi has more than 8 dielects of its own.
Who told you that punjabi is a dielect of Hindi. Punjabi is very different language. Punjabi is 900 year old and hindi is 300 year old. Punjabi has its own grammar
Punjabi and hindi always consider as sister languages. Punjabi share similar words with persian language.
No relation with Chinese language.
Punjabi is an independent language by itself
The guy's knowledge about India and Indian languages is so little. I don't know what told him that he should even make a video about these two languages. And What the fuck even Hindustani is? There is nothing like that. Hindi and Punjabi are two different languages with different scripts. Dont take this video seriously
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.
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)
I would say Punjabi is NOT a dialect of Hindi because Hindi speakers have trouble understanding my 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
The dialect of indian punjabi films is spoken in faisalabad....
In north punjab PAK, they speak pothohari dialects.
@@chee-max6460 I live in the gujrat province of punjab we dont speak potwari here
I'm not gonna repeat that panjabi predates hindi by more than a millenia which is proven and already said a lot of times in the comments already, however the presenter said that in 1966 panjabi became a formalized language and prior it was considered a dialect at 3:16. This is a misconception because panjabi was always a languadge for more than a thousand years and had been spoken in panjab with dialects of it's own developing and influencing other languages such as sindhi, Kashmiri, pahari hindi and even haryanvi. It's just that after India was formed panjab wasn't a formalized state and panjabi wasnt the state language in panjab(basically it wasnt organized, which was done after agitation and protests by the panjabi speakers) not that it was given a autonomous language certificate. And as you said, India is trying to unify its various peoples through various means since it already has a ton of divisive factors-languadge, culture, religion, identity, etc to deal with why would the administration go forward and divide its population even more.
Plzzz plzzz make a video on difference between Mandarin, Taiwanese and Cantonese... Plzzzplzzzplzzz
