This linguistic map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “Dialects Of Punjabi.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This linguistic map image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.

ਵੇਰਵਾDialects Of Punjabi.jpg
English: Map of dialects of Punjabi ("Greater Panjabic" as per Glottolog, incl. Eastern Punjabi and Western Punjabi (Lahnda/Landa) varieties) and some closely related language-groups, such as Western Paharic, Rajasthanic, and Sindhic.
Citation: Most of positionings of the main dialects are in-agreement with scholar Mangat Bhardwaj's analysis of the geographic distribution of Punjabi dialects (esp. Eastern Punjabi ones) in Panjabi: A Comprehensive Grammar (Routledge, 25 August 2016, pages 7–8 [ISBN: 9781317643265]).
In Mangat Bhardwaj's map, a dialect called "Rathi" is placed to the east of Bhatiani and to the south of Malwai, occupying a thin-strip of territory. Also, the Puadhi-speaking area on Khalid Mahmood's map seems over-represented, it should be more confined to the east, as per Bhardwaj's map.
I am adding the Rathi dialect to the map as per the source: Panjabi: A Comprehensive Grammar (Routledge, 25 August 2016, pages 7–8 [ISBN: 9781317643265])
