''Standard Punjabi'' (sometimes referred to as Majhi) is the standard form of Punjabi used commonly in [[education]] and [[news broadcasting]], and is based on the [[Majhi dialect]]. Such as the variety used on [[Google Translate]], Standard Punjabi is also often used in official online services that employ Punjabi. It is widely used in the TV and entertainment industry of Pakistan, which is mainly produced in [[Lahore]].

The Standard Punjabi used in India and Pakistan have slight differences. In India, it discludes many of the dialect-specific features of Majhi. In Pakistan, the standard is closer to the Majhi spoken in the urban parts of Lahore.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}
