Why is Punjabi considered the language of the Sikhs

[Guest Punjabi]

Why is Punjabi considered the Sikh language, Punjabi is also the language of many Muslims, Christians and Hindus.

Not every Sikh is Punjabi or speaks Punjabi

Muslims in Pakistan do speak Punjabi and Hindu Punjabis view Punjabi as their mother tongue, contrary to what many believe, but not what all believe.

Because Sikhs are for the most part an ethno-religious group. So most Punjabi speakers are Sikhs and therefore people generalize that Punjabi is the language of the Sikhs.

The Punjabi Muslims on the other side of the border mostly speak Urdu. Punjabi Hindus in India mostly speak Hindi. Punjabi Christians speak Punjabi but are an extreme minority that has zero interaction with the mainstream world, and therefore do not have an effect on the perception.

Not true, many Hindu Punjbis speak Punjabi

Sikhs who have recently come from Afghanistan,  Italy and other countries do not speak punjabi. Theyaare however more enthusiastic Sikhi practitioners than the original punjabi speaking sikhs.

Hindu Punjabis do speak Punjabi for sure but they voted for Hindi as their mother language during Punjabi Suba language voting.

like I said before ...you Panjabi  ? hahahaha

Panjabi hindus have loyalty to no one neither their soil nor their language  proof is plentiful in history 

Sikhs are the only ones who even sacrificed their lives to keep their maa boli alive not true of either muslims or hindus who would rather claim ghulam language of Urdu or Hindi

Idk what the Punjabi suba movement was about my fam was prob not in India then more likely east Africa. But I'm all for punjabiat and Punjabi unity , Punjabi language etc. Dont be one to generalise or reinforce stereotypes about certain groups!
