How Do You Learn The Punjabi Alphabet?
Punjabi is the most commonly spoken language in Pakistan today. It is a tonal language with nasal sounds and syllabic alphabet. It is usually spoken by followers of Sikhism, Hinduism and Islam. The alphabet is called “Varnhmaalaa” and consists of 40 consonants and 10 vowels. As the Shahmukhi and Gurmukhi scripts are the most commonly used, they are considered the official scripts for writing. This is the script we will focus on when learning the Punjabi alphabet. Decide if you are going to learn on-line with the Internet or off-line with books. If you are learning on-line, at the end of the article will be good places to start. If learning off-line, make sure you have access to a library or bookstore to purchase the books needed. These will be your textbooks in learning the alphabet. Take your pen or pencil and start writing down each letter of the alphabet as you see it printed in your learning material you are using on a piece of paper, with each line having a different letter on it.
