Punjabi in the United States
Who speaks Punjabi, and where they turn up.
Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ / پنجابی) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by 125+ million people. In India it is written in Gurmukhi; in Pakistan, in Shahmukhi (Perso-Arabic).
Sikh communities in California's Central Valley (Yuba City / Fresno), Bay Area (Fremont), NY / NJ, Vancouver-adjacent (WA), and Seattle drive most demand. Pakistani-Punjabi communities also request services.

Linguistic considerations
Getting Punjabi right.
Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a Punjabi session lands correctly. Here is what we watch for.
Script & typography
Indian Punjabi is written in Gurmukhi (left-to-right); Pakistani Punjabi in Shahmukhi (right-to-left, Perso-Arabic). We handle both scripts natively.
