Punjabi is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, with over 125 million speakers across India, Pakistan, and global Punjabi communities. It is the official language of Punjab in India and one of the most spoken languages in Pakistan, where it holds significant cultural and linguistic influence. Written in two distinct scripts—Gurmukhi in India and Shahmukhi in Pakistan—Punjabi has a rich literary and oral tradition that reflects its deep historical roots.

As a tonal language with diverse dialects, Punjabi can vary significantly depending on the region and context. Whether communicating in healthcare, business, or legal settings, Jeenie’s expert Punjabi interpreters ensure accurate and culturally sensitive communication, helping you connect effectively with Punjabi speakers worldwide.

Punjabi culture is known for its vibrancy, hospitality, and strong sense of community. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, it is celebrated through music, dance (like Bhangra and Giddha), and festivals such as Vaisakhi and Lohri. Food also plays a central role, with rich, flavorful dishes like butter chicken, sarson da saag, and makki di roti bringing people together.

Respect and warmth are key aspects of Punjabi communication, with gestures, tone, and expressions playing an important role. Whether in social or professional settings, understanding Punjabi cultural norms can enhance relationships and prevent misunderstandings. With Jeenie’s Punjabi interpreters, you get more than just translation—you get cultural expertise that ensures meaningful and effective communication.

How much does Punjabi interpreting cost?

Across the industry, Punjabi interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details.

Note: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why?
Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions.

Are Punjabi translators and Punjabi interpreters the same thing?

We get this question a lot.

Punjabi interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Punjabi into English and English into Punjabi). Interpreters serve as communication and are experts at cultural nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other.

Punjabi translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language.

How are Punjabi interpreters on Jeenie different from other services?

Jeenie attracts the best interpreters in the world. Truly. We constantly hear from clients that they have NEVER had such amazing interpreters on other services. That skill saves our clients time and minimizes their risk of costly miscommunications. Here's how we excel at quality:

We treat interpreters well.
Jeenie offers linguists great compensation (often the best in the industry), work-life flexibility, ongoing learning to improve their craft, and our heart-felt respect. For this and many other reasons, the best interpreters want to be on the Jeenie platform.

We have extremely high standards.
Unlike most of our competitors who outsource huge chunks of their interpreting needs, Jeenie has created a vetted network of global talent who are active within our platform. This gives us direct oversight on quality and skills assessment. Jeenie interpreters must pass our rigorous skills evaluations, have several years of experience, maintain 4.0 average client rating, and pass ongoing quality tests.
