Gurmukhi

Gurmukhi is a script used for writing the Punjabi language, primarily spoken in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Developed in the 15th century by Guru Angad Dev Ji, the second Sikh Guru, Gurmukhi means "from the mouth of the Guru." It consists of 41 letters and is phonetic, which means each character represents a specific sound. Gurmukhi is crucial for Sikh religious texts, including the Guru Granth Sahib, and plays a significant role in Punjabi literature and culture, promoting the language's use across various mediums.
