Hindi (हिंदी) is an Indo-Aryan language (Indo-European family), descended from the same roots as Sanskrit, spoken in northern and central India, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi; it is the official language of the Union government. It is written in Devanagari: each consonant carries a built-in "a" sound, other vowels are added as signs (matras), and a line across the top (shirorekha) joins the letters of a word. About 52.8 crore (528 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ) is an Indo-Aryan language (Indo-European family), descended from the same roots as Sanskrit, spoken in Punjab in India (written in Gurmukhi) and Punjab in Pakistan (written in the Perso-Arabic Shahmukhi script). It is written in Gurmukhi: it has 35 basic letters (paintee), a line across the top, and vowel signs added to consonants. About 3.3 crore (33 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
How Hindi and Punjabi compare
- Hindi is written in Devanagari and Punjabi in Gurmukhi, so the translation changes the script as well as the words.
- Both are Indo-Aryan languages, so they share many related words and similar grammar.
- Both usually put words in the order subject–object–verb, with the verb at the end, which keeps sentences close in shape.
- Punjabi is a tonal language: the same letters can carry a rising or falling tone that changes the meaning.
