The table below shows Punjabi tonogenesis in bisyllabic words. Unlike the above four examples, Punjab was not under the east Asian tone [[sprachbund]], instead belonging to a separate one in its own area of Punjab. As well, unlike the above languages, which developed tone from syllable endings, Punjab developed tone from its voiced aspirated stops losing their aspiration.<ref>{{Cite thesis|last=Bowden|first=Andrea Lynn|date=2012-03-07|title=Punjabi Tonemics and the Gurmukhi Script: A Preliminary Study|url=https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2983/|type=MA thesis|publisher=Brigham Young University|access-date=2022-08-19 |archive-date=2022-08-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220819182103/https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2983/|url-status=live}}</ref> Tone does occur in monosyllabic words as well, but are not discussed in the chart below. {| class="wikitable" |+Tonogenesis in Punjabi{{Incomplete table|date=August 2021}} |Atonal stage |C(V)VC̬ʰ(V)V | colspan="4" |C̬ʰ(V)VC(V)V |C(V)VC(V)V |- | rowspan="2" |Tonogenesis | rowspan="2" |C̬ʰ → V́C̬V̀ / V_V | colspan="2" |C̬ʰVC(V)V | colspan="2" |C̬ʰVVC(V)V | rowspan="2" | - |- | colspan="2" |C̬ʰ → T̥V, R̬V / #_V | colspan="2" |C̬ʰVV → T̥VV̀, R̬VV̀ / #_VV |- |Result |C(V)V́C̬(V)V̀ |T̥VC(V)V |R̬VC(V)V |T̥VV̀C(V)V |R̬VV̀C(V)V |C(V)VC(V)V |} (C = any consonant, T = non-retroflex stop, R = retroflex stop; C̬ = voiced, C̥ = unvoiced; Cʰ = aspirated; V = Neutral tone, V́ = Rising tone, V̀ = Falling tone)
