The Muslims in Pakistan write Punjabi in the Arabic script, and Sikhs & Hindus of Punjab write it in the Gurumukhi script.

Gurumukhi script uses 10 vowels and 40 consonants. The word "Gurmukhi" literally means 'coming from the mouth of the Guru'. This script was introduced by Guru Angad Dev, a Guru of the Sikhs, in the 16th century. The script was for everyone regard- less of their caste, religion, or creed.
