Summary

DescriptionDialects Of Punjabi.jpg	English: Map of dialects of Punjabi ("Greater Panjabic" as per Glottolog, incl. Eastern Punjabi and Western Punjabi (Lahnda/Landa) varieties) and some closely related language-groups, such as Rajasthanic, and Sindhic. Citation: Most of the positionings of the main dialects are in-agreement with scholar Mangat Bhardwaj's analysis of the geographic distribution of Punjabi dialects (esp. Eastern Punjabi ones) in Panjabi: A Comprehensive Grammar (Routledge, 25 August 2016, pages 7–8 [ISBN: 9781317643265]). In Mangat Bhardwaj's map, a dialect called "Rathi" is placed to the east of Bhatiani and to the south of Malwai, occupying a thin-strip of territory. Also, the Puadhi-speaking area on Khalid Mahmood's map seems over-represented, it should be more confined to the east, as per Bhardwaj's map.
