@Fdom5997, hello! sorry for the small edit conflict. could I understand why the reverting? my edits were mostly about the visual nature and editing what was already there. Juwan (talk) 22:26, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No what you put was not already there. If you are going to contribute, you at least *need* to have a source cited for your contribution. Fdom5997 (talk) 23:01, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fdom5997 could you elaborate? I'll try to find a source if you explain what is wrong. Juwan (talk) 22:04, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map

This article is discussing about the Punjabi language, and all its varieties/dialects. Even the total number of speakers include numbers from the varieties that are separately enumerated in Pakistan, yet the map depicts only the areas where Punjabi in general is enumerated, disregarding other areas. I would argue that it is misleading and the map should, therefore, be replaced with the one I have recently posted:

Map of the Punjabi language in South Asia.

It would be a better look for the article, in line with other articles of languages which include similar looking maps. Thanks. SouthAsiaMapped (talk) 15:14, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern Panjabi paragraph to be clarified.

At this moment the paragraph starts with:

                          "Eastern Punjabi" refers to the varieties of Punjabi spoken in Pakistani Punjab (specifically Northern Punjabi)

This does not seem to make much sense. And to someone unitiated to South Asian language classification and geography, it will be outright confusing. I would recommend looking for some other formulation. Yak-indolog (talk) 18:30, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Numer of speakers

In the intro paragraph and the infobox, it feels a bit improper to put the number 150 mil without mentioning (in the body of the text - so the previews show it) that this number is not the number all could agree on and is dependent on counting Saraiki and Hindko in it. I know this is mentioned in a note ... (though it is not clearly mentioned that Hindko and Saraiki are not only counted separately, but also considered separate languages in some classifications). So either there should be a range, or a formulation like "more than 120 mil. (depending on categorization)", or the like. Things that are contested or unequivocal should be accessible to the reader as such. Yak-indolog (talk) 18:36, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
