Correction: Punjabi is a full-fledged language whether written in Gurumukhi or Shahmukhi. Uniquely one language with two scripts.
Punjabi is not a dialect of Hindi.
- kartD 10y agoOops, you're right.
- dmurray 10y agoNot uniquely: Serbo-Croatian is written in Latin or Cyrillic depending what country you are in. Turkish is now officially written in Latin, but used to be written in Arabic. And most prominently, though in a different way, Chinese and Japanese have multiple writing systems.
- wsxcde 10y agoThere many languages with multiple scripts. Konkani is written in both Kannada and Devanagari. Manipuri is written in both Manipuri and Bengali. For a more controversial example, I'd say maybe Urdu/Hindi are basically the same language written in Devanagari or Urdu. (btw, I just looked at Shahmukhi on wikipedia and it is exactly the same as Urdu).
