Kashmiri (Indo-Hittite) is generally acknowledged to belong to the Indic
sub-branch of the Indo-Iranian sub-branch of the Indo-European branch of the Indo-
Hittite family of languages, although some linguists prefer to consider it a separate

Kashmir. Hindu speakers generally write Kashmiri with the devanagari syllabary,
while Moslem speakers generally write it in the Arabic alphabet.

Panjabi
updated 4-4-2002
Panjabi (Indo-Hittite), also spelled Punjabi, belongs to the Indic sub-branch
of the Indo-Iranian sub-branch of the Indo-European branch of the Indo-Hittite family
of languages. It is spoken in the Punjab, a historic area now partly in India and partly
in Pakistan. There are a number of dialects. Those in India are similar to Hindi, but
Pakistan has one dialect, Lahnda, which differs sufficiently that some linguists consider
it a separate language. In the Sikh religion, the teachings of the gurus, the ten great
founders of Sikhism, were first written in Panjabi. The language is written in Gurmukhi
script, which was invented by the second guru, in the 16th century, and is based on
devanagari. "Gurmukhi" means "proceeding from the mouth of the guru." However,
written Panjabi is rapidly being replaced by Hindi and Urdu among literate Panjabi
speakers today.
