Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ / پنجابی) has two scripts: Gurmukhi, codified by Guru Angad in the 16th century, is used by Sikh communities and in Indian Punjab; Shahmukhi, a Perso-Arabic script, is used in Pakistani Punjab. Together they serve some 150 million speakers. Gurmukhi has 35 base letters plus 6 supplementary; Shahmukhi adapts Urdu's letters for Punjabi's extra retroflex sounds.
Yes — Punjabi is one of the few Indo-European languages with phonemic tone. Three tones (high, low, level) developed from the loss of the voiced aspirated stops ਘ, ਝ, ਢ etc. The same syllable can have different meanings depending on tone: kòṛaa 'horse' vs koṛaa 'whip' vs kóṛaa 'leper'. The tonal contrast is more pronounced in eastern (Indian) Punjabi than western varieties.
