Punjabi and Hindi, both Indo-Aryan tongues, share an Indo-European lineage but diverge in several aspects: their written scripts (Gurmukhi vs. Devanagari), phonological systems, morphological patterns, syntax, vocabulary, dialects, geographical distribution, historical evolution, and cultural associations. These distinctions stem from their distinct geographical and historical developments, showcasing the linguistic diversity and cultural richness of the Indian subcontinent.
