Punjab [India], April 23 : With a rich and diverse cultural tapestry, Punjab's history is deep-rooted in its language and scripts. The Punjabi language, with its two primary scripts Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi, serves as a window into Punjab's vibrant past and its distinct cultural identity, Khalsa Vox reported.The Gurmukhi script translates to "from the Guru's mouth" and has its roots in the Brahmi script. The second Sikh Guru, Guru Angad Dev in the 16th century formalized and popularized Gurmukhi. The script was created to be simple and efficient, making it accessible to people from all walks of life, as per the news report.Guru Angad Dev believed in the power of the written word to disseminate knowledge and wisdom. He used the Gurmukhi script to transcribe the sacred hymns of the Sikh Gurus. These sacred hymns were eventually compiled into the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism.Gurmukhi holds a special place in the hearts of Sikhs as the script enshrines their sacred texts. While Gurmukhi thrived in Punjab's eastern region, the western area created its own script - Shahmukhi, as per the Khalsa Vox report.Shahmukhi, meng "from the king's mouth," is an adaptation of the Persian Nastaliq script, which was dominant in the Islamic courts of South Asia.
