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.
- 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.

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.
