Punjabi is spoken by close to 100 million people. It is primarily spoken in the Indian and Pakistani State of Punjab. Enter the land of the Sikhs. Gurdwaras replace temples as the most popular places of worship, Blender’s Pride replaces Royal Stag as the choice whisky, and the personable, turban-clad population generally provides a break from the stresses found elsewhere in India.

Punjab may share a (Sikh) prime minister with the rest of India, but feels distinct from the other states. Indeed many parts of Punjabi culture, from butter chicken to bhangra music, strike visitors as quintessentially Indian. This is because Punjab, with more ex-patriots than any other state, has exported its culture far and wide. Another benefit of this footloose population is the foreign remittances that have helped make Punjab the most developed state. This isn’t to say there aren’t social problems. But amid the modernization, a strong sense of the past remains at sites such as Amritsar’s Golden Temple — Sikhism’s holiest shrine and one of India’s most beautiful buildings. 

There is a large diaspora of Punjabi speaking people in the USA and the UK.

Here are some of the basic Punjabi phrases that you might use:

• Sat srī akāl! (Hello!)
• Tuhāɖā nā̃ kī he? (What’s your name?)
• Tuhānū̃ mil kē bāhut khushī hōī! (Pleased to meet you!)
