1st Punjabi Grammar Publication 1812

The formal grammatical codification and movable-type printing of addak occurred in Ludhiana, Punjab, at the Ludhiana Mission Press. Following initial Gurmukhi typographic groundwork laid by Dr. William Carey in 1812 (published early 1813) at the Serampore Mission Press in Bengal, American Presbyterian missionary Reverend John Newton (assisted by native Punjabi scholars and Rev. Levi Janvier) formally codified the rules and printed form of addak in 1851 in A Grammar of the Panjabi Language; With Appendices and standardized its lexicographical definition in 1854 in A Dictionary of the Panjabi Language.
