Interesting Poll from Newsweek. See how they frame the question. The questions and the choices are bizarre. Some of them seem to take so much for granted.

One of the more interesting facts about the Punjabi language is that where it is numerically the most widely spoken, in Pakistani Punjab, it is hardly written at all. Punjabi is most often written in East Punjab in the Gurmukhi script. It is also possible to write the language in the Persian script often referred to as Shahmukhi in this context."
