Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Sat Nam, Sujan Singh ji -- What you are saying is in agreement with what Yogi Bhajan taught. On the other hand, the idea that " Gurmukhi is a script but not a language " defies common sense. The word " Guru-Mukhi " means " from the mouth of the Guru. " " Languages " come from the mouth, whereas scripts come " from the hand " (not the mouth). Guru Angad created a script for expressing the language that came from the mouths of the " Ten Nanaks, " in order to convey Gurbani. So, Gurmukhi cannot be defined as merely a script. Thank you for clarifying.

With my " not a spoken language " I meant that Gurmukhi is not a current language (i.e. if you talk with a sikh, he doesn't speak Gurmukhi but easier punjabi) but a just a sacred one. Fateh Dharma!
