Punjabi voice overs: what you need to know
Punjabi, also spelled Panjabi, is an Indo-Aryan language, mostly spoken in Pakistan and India. Around 125 million people are native Punjabi speakers worldwide.
While Punjabi is the most spoken language in Pakistan, surprisingly, it’s not the official language there! However, it is one of the official languages of India.
The Punjabi language is a language of the Punjabi people — an ethnic group, native to South Asia. But Punjabi is extensively spoken in communities around the world. It’s extensively used in The United Kingdom, Canada, and Bangladesh.
Did you know:
Punjabi is the third most spoken language in the United Kingdom and the fifth most spoken language in Canada.
Language History
Like other languages in the Indo-Aryan language group, Punjabi descended from the ancient language of Sanskrit. It’s considered that Punjabi as an independent language variety emerged somewhere around the 7th century from Prakrit languages. The earliest Punjabi writings are from the 11th century — the fragments of religious texts.
The status and prominence of the modern Punjabi language are highly dependent on the region. For example, Punjabi became one of the official languages of India in 1966. However, while it’s the most spoken language in Pakistan, Punjabi doesn’t have an official status there.
Close Relations
Punjabi is closely related to other Indo-Aryan languages — Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, and Nepali. In fact, Punjabi and Hindishare about 70% of their vocabulary. While the two languages are similar in vocabulary and morphology, they are not mutually intelligible. Nepali is also a close relative of Punjabi — the two languages share around 40% of words.
While the core of the Punjabi vocabulary is inherited from Sanskrit, Punjabi has a great number of foreign loanwords. In terms of vocabulary, Persian and Arabic had the most influence on Punjabi. Later on, words of Portuguese and English origin have entered the language as well.
Did you know:
Punjabi is written in three different scripts, depending on the region. Gurmukhi and Devanagari scripts are used in India, while Pakistan uses Shahmukhi — a modifier Arabic script that’s written from right to left.
Accents and Voice Over Tips
Punjabi is a widespread language with a great number of regional varieties and dialects. However, there are three most prominent and popular dialect groups of Punjabi: Standard Punjabi (Majhi), Western Punjabi, and Eastern Punjabi. Naturally, all these dialectal groups have dozens of regional varieties that for the most part are mutually intelligible.
Majhi dialect is considered to be the standard Punjabi variant that’s used in schools, by media & television, and by most businesses.
However, standard variants of Punjabi differ in India and Pakistan. Additionally, the Punjabi diaspora speaks a creolized Punjabi that greatly differs from the language spoken in India and Pakistan.
One of the most important things to note when recording a Punjabi voice over is that Punjabi is a tonal language. The tone of spoken words changes their meanings. So pay great attention to the tone. You can easily say kár (low rising tone), which means dandruff instead of kà r (high falling tone), which means house!
