It is the national language of Pakistan and one of the national languages of India. Urdu is a language of South Asia which is why it a close relationship with the languages of this region. Punjabi is also a big language of South Asia (Abbas, Jalil, Zaki & Irfan, 2020; Abbas, Jalil & Rehman, 2019). Urdu has a close linguistic and literary relation with Punjabi language. A prominent linguist  Hafiz Mehmood Sheerani presented the theory that Urdu language was born in Punjab. Many linguists agree with this theory of Urdu language birth. Both languages ​​belong to the same family of languages e.g.,​​"Indo-Aryan". Urdu and Punjabi (Pakistani) alphabet and script are the same. Phonetics and grammatical rules of both languages are same.
