آداب (Adaab)! I'm an Urdu-Punjabi speaker who takes an interest in linguistics and phonology. I also have a keen interest in learning different scripts.

I mainly work on Urdu/Hindi and Punjabi lemmas on Wiktionary, but also semi-active on English, Urdu and Punjabi (Shahmukhi) Wikipedias.

Short-term goals

Punjabi language

To expand Punjabi lemmas
To also get my head around Punjabi tonal sounds

Urdu language

Expand Urdu lemmas
Improve and fix current list of Urdu lemmas
Fix Urdu declensions:
روپیہ (ropeh), pl.obl = روپئوں

Long-term goals

Create a Module:pa-IPA - similar to that of Module:ne-IPA, that includes not only the IPA, but also hyphenation, rhymes and phonetic transliteration etc, curated specifically towards Punjabi lemmas.
