Answer 3

The Guru Granth Sahib or the Adi Granth is the holy text of the Sikhs. It contains prayers and hymns from the 10 Sikh Gurus. Its contents are referred to as bani or Gurbani (guru-enlightener/guide bani-words). An individual hymn is a Shabad.

The Guru Granth Sahib incorporates teachings of people from various communities, castes, religions and regions of the country. This means that the language of the Granth is a combination of many different Aryan languages and dialects but the script is written exclusively in Gurmukhi. Guru Arjan Dev ji, unlike many other religious leaders, believed that god can be attained with devotion through the medium of any language therefore there is no 'one' sacred language.

As Sikh hymns are from the Guru Granth Sahib their languages may vary but in the Granth they are written in Gurumukhi (Most common script used for writing Punjabi language).
