Panjabi...
"Panjabi, or Punjabi, is spoken by almost 40
million people of
whom 55 per cent are Pakistani. Panjab, a Sanskritic name mean-
ing ‘land of the five rivers’, is an historic area, the
migratory
route through which the Aryan ancestors of the present-day
Panjabis entered the Indian subcontinent. It was a seat of medi-
eval Indic culture and the home of the Sikh
religion. Although
Panjab was originally a single region, linguistic differences had
developed there even before the Partition (1947). In West
Pakistan both Panjabi and
Urdu are now official languages.
The
two have been associated since the period of the Mogul Empire,
with the result that Western Panjabi is written in
Persian script
and the religious vocabulary is derived from Urdu. (See
Panjabi:
Persian.) In the Indian Panjab the language is written in Gur-
mukhi character, and manifests Sikh influence, dominant in the
eastern Panjab since the late 18th century. This usage developed
as a result of the writing and propagation of the
Granth, the Sikh
holy writ. Panjabi is an Indo-Aryan tongue, related to
Hindu-
stani, Rajasthani, and other
tongues spoken across northern
India. Gurmukhi character is a
variant of Devanagari script,
which was introduced by Guru Angad. A
vernacular Panjabi
literature is being developed."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info

DOGURA, OR JUMBOO.
(MOUNTAIN PUNJABEE.)
"THE Dogura, or Jumboo,
dialect is spoken in the hilly country on the north of the Punjab, and
east of the river Chenab and of Cashmere. Much confusion prevails in
the accounts of the Seram-
pore mies. respecting the extent of territory in which this dialect is
predominant; and the
number of inhabitants to whom it is vernacular has never yet been
ascertained.
The Dogura dialect deviates in many respects from the Punjabee, and
approximates pretty closely
to the Cashmerian dialect. It
has several permutations of letters and inflections peculiar to itself,
but
preserves indubitable indications of its Sanscrit origin. In the specimen of the Lord’s Prayer in
Dogura, given by the Serampore mies., twenty-five words were similar
to those in the Hindu-
wee and Bengalee specimens, while
the remaining words were found to be more immediately connected
with the Sanscrit.
A version of the
New Testament in Dogura was undertaken at Serampore in 1814; in 1820 the
first three Gospels left the press, and in 1826 an edition of the entire New
Testament, consisting of
1000 copies, was completed. Opportunities for the circulation
of the version seem to have been
wholly wanting. In 1832 it was stated that a few copies had been given
to some natives who had
visited Calcutta, but no farther accounts have since been furnished relative
to the distribution of this
edition."--The Bible of Every Land. (1860, Second Edition)
