I did see some that were written in "urdu". May be it depends on the books but the ones in their schools were written in Sanskrit. Now, I am talking about early 90s. Not sure if things have changed.

Says who? Can you also define "proper"?
According to the Lingusits, a 'proper' language is termed as one which has only one set of alphabets which is not true in case of Punjabi, it being GURUMUKHI in India and Arabic alphabets (or urdu for that matter in Pakistan)... This is the context of word 'proper' and not in its literal meaning..
Reference? And also provide a reference where it's written that Urdu, English, French, and all other languages are "proper". **
**Defined above...
So is any language?
True .. I did not denyt the fact
Punjabies in Pakistan use the Arabic letters to write in punjabi
False
Which alphabets do they write in then :)??
*Reference? *
According to the article written by famous Punjabi writer Bhaaat Singh himself:
Till now, Punjabi has not been able to become a literary language of the central Punjab. It is written in the Gurmukhi script and is now Known as Punjabi. It is neither widely prevalent nor has any literature or scientific significance. It was left unattended earlier, but even now the deficiency of its script disturbs those who are now attending to it. All the words, cannot end without the sound 'a' and its inability to write compound letter; even the word 'Poorna' (complete) cannot be written. This script is thus even more incomplete than Urdu, but when we already have a scientific and perfect Hindi script, what is there to feel hesitant about adopting it? The Gurmukhi script is only distorted form of the Hindi script.
Again, define "organized", give an example, and do a comparison with other languages and prove what's considered "organized" and what sets the rules/regulations.
An Organized language is one which is either SEMANTIC (The five basic one including ARABIC, HEBREW, SANSKIRAT etc.) or the one that evolved from them and stands on its own in one set of alphabets (borrowed or created). As an example, Urdu which has Persian and Arabic alphabets.
Having said that, please understand the sematic I had used for Punjabi... Punjabi is by far considered an AGGLUTINATIVE language that is more of a dilaectical language than 'a written' language. No where does this description neglect the fact that punjabi is a widely used language even in non-punjabi regions of the world. It's has more of a 'friendly' tone than a usual 'respect' that we can see in Urdu, hence, many linguists also termed it as "tonal"...

I provided links to back myself up. I see no references in your post :)
Re: What do u call chin
Links are allowed??
This is all from my memory except the Bhagat Singh’s article which can be seen here:
I do not keep the articles and research papers of mid 90’s that I read in Jang news papers that many years ago… Sorry for not providing the reference… Facts do not change with a non-availablity of a reference. If I am considered wrong in such case, be it… ![]()
Re: What do u call chin
Ahhhh…memory. Well ofcourse memory weighs more than the evidence. Oh, and I forgot you like to twist things especially when it has to do with something that administration says, but to answer your question: Yes, links are allowed to prove your point or reference anything you may need to back. Ofcourse they are not allowed if you are advertising and/or the links are inappropriate (porn etc.).
Happy posting ![]()

Re: What do u call chin
I just went through the ‘evidence’ and surely as I pointed out already all of the evidence is from GURUMUKHI perspective, making them biased references from the Indian Punjabies persepective. No where did I find a say about our own punjabies, the Pakistanies… Poor them only know written punjabi in Arabic alphabets.. Gurumukhi seems ‘Venusha’ to them… I will consider Punjabi as a language of the class where Arabic, Sanskirat, Hebrew and the likes fall only if I have to declare that Punjabi is but what SIKHS and Punjabies of India refer to as.
Do Pakistani Punjabies have any identity or do they follow the same scripture of GURUMUKHI to classify the ‘LITERAL’ aspect of the language, is a matter still seems ‘twisted’ in the light of the evidence.
I did not even find a reference to our current punjabi poets in Pakistan… No Amjad Islam Amjad or the beautiful Munnu Bhai or Ashfaq Ahmed as a prose writers, in the references. I wonder what script do they use… Last time I read the Punjabi movie title in Pakistan, it was in Urdu script: Paabi deeyaaN chooRiyaaN
