Punjab, Pakistan
Punjab (Shahmukhi: , , panj-ab, "five waters": ), also spelled Panjab is the most populous province of Pakistan, with approximately 62% of the country's total population. Forming most of the Punjab region, the province is bordered by Kashmir (Azad Kashmir, Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir, India) to the north-east, the Indian states of Punjab and Rajasthan to the east, the Pakistani province of Sindh to the south, the province of Balochistan to the southwest, the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the west, and the Islamabad Capital Territory to the north. The Punjab is home to the Punjabis and various other groups. The main languages are Punjabi and Saraiki and the dialects of Mewati and Potowari. The name Punjab derives from the Persian words Panj (Five), and Ab (Water), i.e. (the) Five Waters - referring to five tributaries of the Indus River from which is also the origin of the name of "India" - these being Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej, that flow through the larger Punjab.

Punjab (Pakistan)
Il Punjab è la regione più popolosa del Pakistan (73,6 milioni, più della metà del totale) e la seconda più vasta (205.340 km2), situata ad ovest del Paese, al confine con l'India, dove si trova uno stato omonimo. La divisione del 1947 fra India e Pakistan portò qui ad uno dei più massicci scambi di popolazione su linee religiose.
