Gurmukhi, an Indo-Aryan script used primarily for writing the Punjabi language, holds a significant cultural and historical importance in the Sikh community. Developed by the Sikh Guru, Guru Angad Dev, in the 16th century, Gurmukhi has since become the official script for writing Punjabi in India, particularly in the Punjab region. The script’s name, which translates to “from the mouth of the Guru” in Punjabi, underscores its spiritual significance for Sikhs, who consider it a sacred medium for preserving their religious texts, including the Guru Granth Sahib, the central religious scripture of Sikhism. Apart from India, where it is predominantly used in the Punjab state, the Gurmukhi script is also utilised in countries with significant Punjabi-speaking communities, such as Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Australia, where it continues to serve as a vital link to Sikh cultural and religious identity for the diasporic Sikh population.
