Most Punjabi speech data comes from India, in Gurmukhi script and Indian vocabulary. Pakistani Punjabi speakers use different words, loanwords from Urdu and Persian, and the Shahmukhi script. We test your model on how Pakistani Punjabi is actually spoken.
Punjabi is the most widely spoken first language in Pakistan, but training data is dominated by Indian speakers.
Urdu and Persian loanwords replace Sanskrit-derived words used in Indian Punjabi.
Pakistani Punjabi is written in Shahmukhi, not Gurmukhi, so text pipelines often fail.
Speakers move between Punjabi, Urdu and English in the same sentence.
Each failure is labelled with the reason, so your team knows what to fix first.
| Area | What we measure | Example (illustrative) |
|---|---|---|
| Vocabulary gap | Pakistani words missed or replaced | Urdu-origin word → Hindi-origin word |
| Script output | Shahmukhi vs Gurmukhi vs Roman | wrong script returned |
| Punjabi–Urdu mixing | Switch points inside one sentence | language-switch labels |
| Regional accents | Majhi, Lahori and southern speech | per-accent WER |
| Meaning-critical | Transcript close, meaning wrong | time or number word changed |
No long contract. Test one model on real regional speech, then decide.
