All these minor differences , only in written language , not in the spoken punjabi language , are due to the script beriar .
First of all there is no eastern or western punjabi .Punjabi is one language but is has many dialects , they all are in shahmukhi and gurmukhi scripts . To say punjabi written in gurmukhi script '''Western Punjabi''' and punjabi written in shahmukhi script '''Western punjabi''' is wrong .Only the sikhs punjabis adoptted the gurmukhi script for writting punjabi and muslims punjabis adoptted shahmukhi script for writting punjabi (also hindu punjabis use Devnagari script for writting punjabi).This all due to religious difference . Western punjabi or lahnda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahnda_language (lahnda means west in punjabi) is the name for the western dialict of punjabi like Multani dialict , Riasti dialict , Jhangochi dialec ect , which is now claim as Saraiki language by some local intactuals .
Name westren punjabi or Lahnda
''Lahnda'' means "western" in Punjabi. It was coined by [[William St. Clair Tisdall]] (in the form ''Lahindā'') probably around 1890 and later adopted by a number of linguists—notably [[George Abraham Grierson]]—for a dialect group that had no general local name.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Grierson|first=George A.|year=1930|title=Lahndā and Lahndī|journal=Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies|volume=5|issue=4|pages=883–887|doi=10.1017/S0041977X00090571}}</ref>{{rp|883}} The southern varieties are locally called ''Saraiki'', and northwestern varieties ''Hindko and Panjistani''.
Yes , if it is possible , it would be great thing for punjabis in both countries (pakistan & india) . http://pnb.wikipedia.org and http://pa.wikipedia.org are two versions of one language in two writting systems (shahmukhi writting system or shahmukhi script , a modified perso-arabic alphabet & gurmukhi writting system or gurmukhi script ,drived from devnagari alphabet) .There are softwear [http://g2s.learnpunjabi.org/default.aspx] & [http://s2g.learnpunjabi.org/default.aspx]to covert both writting systems with each other . We want that like Kazak wiki http://kk.wikipedia.org/wiki/ , which is in three different writting systems . Kazak Arabic Alphabet , Kazak crylic alphabet & kazak latin alphabet , one can read a artical inn these three scripts or writting systems .

Punjabi is a language in two separate alphabets (shahmukhi alphabet and gurmukhi alphabet) .Shahmukhi is a perso-arabic alphabet and gurmukhi alphabet is drived from devnagari .This covertion is not between two dialects but between two different scripts of a same language .

Automatic script conversion in Punjabi language wiki will ficilitate 90,000,000 punjabis in pakistan & 25,000,000 punjabis in india .
I don;t understand who & why, against the will of people of kashmir who use the Perso-Arabic script , started kashmiri wiki in devnagari script ,which the majority of kashmiri papulation can't read .The modern Kashmiri script is Perso-Arabic. It is a standard accepted by people for six hundred years.Kashmiri use the Perso-Arabic alphabet, which is also official script used for the language in the Republic of India.A single person startsd kashmiri wiki in devnagari script , it is like , if a person wants to start english wiki in arabic script with his own will . It is the duty of wikipedia officials to accept or give permission a new wiki only in his actual script. If it is not done then every one write every language in his own script
