List of Punjabi-language newspapers

Some Punjabi language newspapers on a stall

Punjabi language newspapers are published and circulated in India, Pakistan and some western countries. Punjabi is a language of the Punjab region, which is divided into India and Pakistan. Pakistan has the most Punjabi language speakers in the world, but newspapers in Punjabi language have significantly small numbers due to lack of government patronage and recognition of the Punjabi language.^[1] India is the country where most newspapers in the Punjabi language are published.
