Punjabi Voice AIBuild voice agents in ਪੰਜਾਬੀ
Punjabi has 33 million speakers concentrated in Punjab, Chandigarh and the Punjabi diaspora across Delhi NCR. Agriculture credit, NRI remittance support, BFSI and Punjab government workloads consistently benefit from Punjabi-native voice agents.
Sample Punjabi agent greeting
“ਸਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ, ਮੈਂ ABC Bank ਤੋਂ Priya ਬੋਲ ਰਹੀ ਹਾਂ। ਤੁਹਾਡੀ EMI ਬਾਰੇ ਇੱਕ ਮਿੰਟ ਗੱਲ ਕਰਨੀ ਸੀ — ਕੀ ਇਹ ਸਹੀ ਸਮਾਂ ਹੈ?”

The problem
Why Punjabi is hard
01
Why Punjabi is hard
Punjabi uses Gurmukhi script, has tonal characteristics that most TTS models handle poorly, and has regional variation between Majhi, Doabi and Malwai. Indian and Pakistani Punjabi are also different — providers sometimes conflate them.
02
How ThinnestAI handles it
- Gurmukhi-native TTS routing with Indian Punjabi voices (not Pakistani Shahmukhi).
- Support for Majhi, Doabi and Malwai accents on the STT side.
- Configurable tone handling for agents that need formal vs colloquial Punjabi.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does ThinnestAI use Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi for Punjabi?
+
Gurmukhi — our default Punjabi routing is for Indian Punjabi using Gurmukhi script. Shahmukhi (Perso-Arabic) is a separate consideration and not in the default path.
