Punjabi is the most spoken native language in Pakistan and an official language of the Indian state of Punjab, written in Shahmukhi in Pakistan and Gurmukhi in India. It also has one of the most visible diasporas, from Canada to the United Kingdom.
Supporting Punjabi lets you serve customers in Lahore, Amritsar, and Ludhiana, and reach Punjabi communities in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Gulf.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Punjabi speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Punjabi shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Teams spanning Punjab, Toronto, and London often mix Punjabi with English at work, so notes need to keep both halves of the conversation.
Meeting assistants →Turn every Punjabi support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.
CCaaS →Punjabi is a tonal language, rare among Indo-Aryan languages, so pitch can change a word's meaning and voice agents have to hear it.
Voice agents →Punjabi music and cinema reach global audiences far beyond Punjab, and fans from Canada to the UK look for lyrics, subtitles, and transcripts.
Media →Supported languages
Being multilingual has been our priority since day one. Gladia supports 100 languages, with code-switching and automatic language detection integrated into all models by default.
Ship Punjabi voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
