North India especially can be viewed as a continuum of village dialects. As a proverb has it, "Every two miles the water changes, every four miles the speech." Spoken dialects of more distant villages will be less and less mutually understandable and finally become simply mutually unintelligible outside the immediate region.

Local influences impact the language. The Punjabi spoken in say Multan or Jhang would be different from that in Lahore or Amritsar. Travel in the Indian Punjab and the difference between Majha & Malwa regions is perceptible.

Majha is the region comprising of what now is Amritsar, Gurdaspur on the Indian side and Narowal, Lahore & Kasur on the Pak side.

Malwa is a region of Punjab and parts of Haryana between the Sutlej and Yamuna rivers. It makes up the majority of the Indian Punjab region, consisting of 11 districts or parts of districts. The people of the region are called Malwais, and the dialect of Punjabi spoken is called Malwai.

No one region is ' purer ' than another . It depends on the loyalty of the person the Q is asked to.

Below is an illustration of the punjabi dialects based on the topography.

Yes Imran Bhaiyya it is true that the Punjabi spoken in Eastern Punjab has a different dialect than the one spoken in Western Punjab. Western Punjab (Pakistani Punjab) is more bigger and more diverse so there are more dialects and sub dialects of Punjabi spoken including Hindko, Seraiki etc. Eastern Punjabi dialect is more pure and kinda harsh like the Haryanvi language. While the one spoken in Rawalpindi and adjoining areas is considered as Lucknowi Punjabi as it is more sweeter.

Meaning of Punjab The Punjab, called Pentapotamia by the Greeks, derives its name from two Persian words, panj (five), an aab (water, having reference to the five rivers which confer on the country).
