But then, today's punjabi has deviated from Punjabi 500 years ago. Why not, just look at some Punjabi to English dictionary, if that serves your purpose.
You might be correct in saying so , but still the script of Gurur Garanth sahib is in Punjabi ( Gurmukhi Script )
Language of GUru Grath sahib Includes Punjabi ( upto 800 years old version ) F{censored}e ( Persion ) Sanskrit and also someother languages related to parts of UP and Bihar State in India .
So it is not very simple to say which language but learning Punjabi script would be good start .and then you can read translations as well in English
I found this site on a google search. It was developed by Punjabi University in Patiala. I think it's great to supplement any Panjabi classes you may be having.
Its got lots of games and stuff to help learn the Gurmukhi alphabet and build up your vocabulary.
I think Guru Granth contains words from 26 different languages. Its best if you can read punjabi, that doesn't mean you will fully understand Guru Granth saheb- for that Gurmukhi to present day punjabi translation is required. All this is available in SIKHNET - Sikh Religion - Sikhism Information.
Guru Granth is unique its written in poetic form, just like a song, a poem from one language can't be translated to another only the meaning or what they are on about can be captued, the same rule applies. So if you really wanna admire what is written then learn punjabi. its worth it. if you can't then plenty of translation are available on that site and translation of daily hukumnamas etc.
