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).
Malayalam (മലയാളം) is a Dravidian language, from the language family of South India, spoken in Kerala and Lakshadweep. It is written in the Malayalam script: its letters are round, and special letters (chillu) write a consonant with no vowel at the end of a syllable. About 3.5 crore (35 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
How Punjabi and Malayalam compare
- Punjabi is written in Gurmukhi and Malayalam in the Malayalam script, so the translation changes the script as well as the words.
- Punjabi is Indo-Aryan and Malayalam is Dravidian: the grammar and most everyday words differ, although both use words that come from Sanskrit.
- Both usually put words in the order subject–object–verb, with the verb at the end, which keeps sentences close in shape.
