Punjabi Punjabi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by inhabitants of the historical Punjab region. Punjabi is unusual among modern Indo-European languages because it is a tonal language. Punjabi is natively spoken by the majority of the population of Pakistan, and it is the primary language of the Sikhs in India and the third-most natively spoken language in South Asia, after Hindustani and Bengali. Punjabi is also currently the second-most spoken language in the United Kingdom and the third-most spoken language in Canada. The influence of Punjabi as a cultural language in Indian Subcontinent is increasing day by day mainly due to Bollywood. Most Bollywood movies now have Punjabi vocabulary mixed in, along a few songs fully sung in Punjabi. At any point of time, Punjabi songs in Bollywood movies now account for more than 50% of the top of the charts listings.
