In Pakistan, Punjabi is more of a dilect and has no grammar or alphabets (like sindhi has its own), so you can teach punjabi history and literature, but not a language.

Having alphabets doesn’t really matter much. Even Sindhi & pashto which claim to have their own alphabets are actually being written in arabic script, like european languages are written in roman script, each with some variation of dots or lines. Similarly, putting a few dots or shapes on arabic alphabets doesn’t make a new script for Sindhi or Pashto.
