Punjabiyat[1][2] (meaning Punjabi-ness)[3] is the name of the language revitalization movement of the Punjabi language and also the political, social and literary movement for preservation of Punjabi literature, Punjabi language and Punjabi culture[4] by unity of Greater Punjab.[5] In Pakistan, the goal of the movement is to stop the state-sponsored suppression of Punjabi in favor of Urdu,[6] while in India the goal is to bring together the Sikh and Punjabi Hindus communities for speaking only Punjabi language in North Indian regions.[7] Supporters in the Punjabi diaspora focus on the promotion of a shared cultural heritage.[8]
