As a proper noun referring to a language, Punjabi is uncountable and does not take a plural form. When used to describe a person, it functions as a countable noun, allowing for the plural form Punjabis to denote a group of individuals from the Punjab region.
In its adjective form, the word is always capitalized to maintain consistency with its origin as a proper noun derived from the Punjab region. It is commonly used to categorize cultural artifacts, such as music, cuisine, or attire, distinguishing them from other regional South Asian traditions.
