Bahri Ujjal Singh, Walia Paramjit Singh. Introductory Punjabi

Pubjabi University, 2003. — 129 p.This introductory text in Punjabi (also spelled Panjabi) is intended primarily for those whose mother tongue is not Punjabi but are native speakers of other Indian languages. Some familiarity with the Punjabi cultural items is presupposed. The non-Indian may, however, also be able to use this text with profit since the lessons are graded. The introduction to the different grammatical characteries of the language is gradual, and each pattern is repeated several times. Notes on the pronunciation, orthography, and grammar precede the main text, which consists of 15 lessons, each based on a particular type of syntactic structure. The model sentences appear in Punjabi orthography, and are glossed in English. A vocabulary listing with English glosses follows each lesson.
