About the Book :-This grammar is intended as a guide to the spoken Panjabi of the Northern Panjab i.e., the Panjabi spoken in the districts of Sialkot, Gujranwala, Lahaur, Gujarat, Firozpur and to some extent in the adjoining districts. The language of the Northern part of Gujranwala has been taken as the standard. It is a guide to spoken Panjabi, not to the Panjabi found in books, and in particular it is not meant to deal with the Panjabi of the Sikhs, usually written in Gurmukhi letters. It is now generally admitted that the old method of learning a language is unsatisfactory. To attempt to learn Panjabi as we learned Greek and Latin and Hebrew can only result in failure. In the following pages, therefore great stress is laid on the modern oral method, and an exhaustive series of short questions will be found in Part II, the Guide to conversation, and of no longer sentences in Part III, the Guide to Connected Speech.
