Question

'Punjab' is combination of two
words, 'Punj' and 'Aab' which
means the land of five waters or
five rivers. When the Turks came
to India, they called the land of
these five rivers Punjab in their
own language. What was the
language of the Turks? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The term Punjab (Persian: پنج‌آب‎) is a compound of two Persian words: panj (پنج‎, 'five'; [pændʒ]) and âb (آب‎, 'water'; [ɒːb]). The word Punjab thus means 'The Land of Five Waters', referring to the rivers Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej, and Beas. All are tributaries of the Indus River, the Sutlej being the largest.
