Fruits Name in Punjabi for English Readers

I live in India, and I speak Hindi, Punjabi and English very well. I have also been learning some more languages.

Punjabi is the most prominent language in the Punjab province of India. Today, the people of Punjab have made their home in almost every country in the world. Their vesture has changed with migration, but the love for their mother language, Punjabi, won't leave their hearts.
