Please read the Article <b>In another’s tongue by KK Aziz</b> per my post #65 of Aug 27 2007, 02:14 PM.

The Fourth along with the Last paragraphs do tell the “Tale of Woe in respect of Pakjabis”

Gurumukhi : From the “Guru’s Mouth” i.e. the Script was initially used for Scriptures like “Guru Granth Saheb”. Even Guru Govind Singh Ji - Dashmeshwar Pita - wrote a Treatise in Persian.

A large number of Hindus in Punjab are now proficient in the Gurumukhi Script and of course the Older Generation who read the “Guru Granth Saheb” in Gurumukhi and “Gutka” in Gurumukhi as well as in the Devnagri Script.

Pakshmi Hindi : Major use is by the Business community who wrote their “Vahi Khatas” in the Devnagri Script but the spoken content of the “Account Books” was Punjabi. In addition the “Gutka” in the Devnagri Script is known as “Sundar Gutka”. Pakshmi Hindi is the Scientific Name.

Urdu Literature : K K Aziz’s comments lead one to ask “What Literature?”

In ending, many thanks for the “trust” reposed in my capabilities in respect of “knowledge” of the Punjabi Language but the little bit I know is from light readings of The Encyclopaedia Britannica.
