Punjabiyat

Punjabiyat means "Punjabiness"^[1] and is the language revitalization movement of Punjabi.

In Pakistan, its goal is the better status of Punjabi language instead of Urdu at state level. In India, its goal is to bring together the Sikh and the Hindu communities.

The movement's supporters in the Punjabi diaspora focus on the promotion of a shared cultural heritage.^[2]
