What do we called the Punjabi word in English?

There isn't a single English word that perfectly translates "Punjabi" as it's both a language and an ethnicity. Here are some ways to refer to it in English, depending on the context:

Language:

* Punjabi (most common and straightforward)

* Panjabi (alternative spelling, less common)

Ethnicity:

* Punjabi (most common)

* Sikh (sometimes used, as a large portion of Punjabis are Sikh, but not all Sikhs are Punjabi)

Other options:

* People of Punjab (formal and specific)

* Punjabis (plural form, used to refer to multiple people)

It's important to be aware of the context and choose the most appropriate term. For example, if you are discussing the Punjabi language, you would use "Punjabi." If you are referring to people of Punjabi origin, you would use "Punjabi" or "Punjabis."
