Gurmukhi Picture Dictionary

It is a visual vocabulary list that pairs each Punjabi word — written in the Gurmukhi script — with a picture, a native audio pronunciation you can tap to hear, and its English meaning. Pictures help young learners connect a new word to something they already recognise, and hearing it spoken aloud teaches the correct pronunciation from the start.

This dictionary has over 673 words grouped into 27 everyday themes such as animals, fruits, family, colours, the body, nature, and Sikhi vocabulary — every single word has its own audio pronunciation. We keep adding more.

Yes — tap or click any word card to hear it spoken aloud. Every one of the words in this dictionary has a recorded audio pronunciation, so your child can hear the correct sound instead of guessing from the roman spelling alone.

The vocabulary themes follow the SOJI (Sikh Research Institute) Boli — Language Arts — Standards for Kindergarten to Grade 5, which build vocabulary around family, colours, animals, plants, geography, weather, the house, school, the Gurdwara, the calendar, and Sikh terminology.

Pick one theme at a time. Point to the picture, tap the card to hear the word spoken aloud, and say it together, then use it around the house — "Eh ki rang hai?" (What colour is this?). Short, daily practice with a handful of words works far better than trying to learn a long list at once.
