Oh the funny part... back then the script was changed so that the less educated and common people could easily learn it. We changed it because we're lazy.

Let pick up from we left

Punjabi is an Indo-Aryan language like many other modern languages of South Asia. It is a descendant of Sauraseni Prakrit, which was the chief language of medieval northern India

Punjabi emerged as an independent language in the 11th century from the Sauraseni Apabhramsa.

The literary tradition in Punjabi started with Fariduddin Ganjshakar (Baba Farid) (1173-1266), many ancient Sufi mystics and later Guru Nanak Dev ji, the first Guru of Sikhism.

The early Punjabi literature was principally spiritual in nature and has had a very rich oral tradition. The poetry written by Sufi saints has been the folklore of the Punjab and is still sung with great love in any part of Punjab.

What about the variations in Punjabi language? I mean what is the pure Punjabi? There are many 'types' of Punjabi languages spoken in different regions; Majha, Malva, Doaba, in Punjab.
