Hello,
It is like "Panama" where we have 'pa' strong sound of 'a' and "Sun"
where even though we have a sound of 'a' we still spell it with 'u'. So both
the spellings (Punjabi and Panjabi) are correct. As far as Punjabi / Panjabi
goes, in India it is spelled as Punjabi and in Pakistan it is spelled as
Panjabi.
Aditya Gokhale.
