Summary
DescriptionBi-scriptal postcard from Kabul, Afghanistan where Persian is written in Perso-Arabic script and Punjabi is written in a Landa script, ca.1878 02.jpg |
English: Bi-scriptal postcard from Kabul, Afghanistan where Persian is written in Perso-Arabic script and Punjabi is written in a Landa script, ca.1878. It is unknown which variety of the internally diverse family of Landa script was employed here. Possibly written by a member of the Punjabi community in Afghanistan at-the-time. Afghanistan once hosted a large population of ethnic Punjabis (including Sikhs, many of whom were Khatri merchants and traders). This may be a transaction receipt perhaps, as most of the Landa scripts tended to be employed for business-related manners.
