Of the nine languages we added to Google Translate today, Punjabi and Nepali are the most widely spoken in Asia and beyond.

Punjabi is the world’s ninth most widely spoken language, with more than 100 million native speakers across India, Pakistan, and the diaspora. Punjabi happens to be the third most widely spoken language in Canada. If you have ever shaken your shoulders to the sounds of bhangra-influenced Bollywood music, you will recognise how closely woven Punjabi is to much of modern global Indian culture. Now available in Gurmukhi script, Google Translate gives users easier access the works of renowned Punjabi authors such as Amrita Pritam, whose haunting Pinjar is one of the most poignant works set against the backdrop of Partition. It also gives Punjabi speakers better access to the wealth of non-Punjabi information on the Web.

Google Translate from English to Punjabi, the world’s 9th most widely spoken language

The availability of Google Translate in Nepali opens up our tools to more than 42 million native speakers worldwide. The dominant language of Nepal, and widely spoken across Northeast Indian states like Assam and Meghalaya, Nepali is commonly written in the same Devanagari script as Hindi. Now readers can access the poetry of Laxmi Prasad Devkota or make the most of a trip to Nepal by translating useful phrases into the local language.

In addition, we are also launching Translate in Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Somali, Zulu, Mongolian, and Maori. As with all our Translate languages, we rely on speakers of the language to refine our translations and offer better suggestions for a translation if they exist. Give it a spin, and if you have any suggestions for improvement, click on translated text that we produced automatically, then select or type better translations.
