Gujranwala
Gujranwala city, northeastern Punjab province, Pakistan. The city is connected by rail and the Grand Trunk Road with Peshawar and Lahore. Gujranwala has a relatively glorious history. City's oral evidence from a resident and also cites inflection of the word Gujar to support his conclusion " we , the inhabitant of Gujranwala " have two sounds of the letter GAF- the soft letter and the hard letter. We pronounced Gujranwala with the soft one
the word Gujar " milkman " is pronounced with the hard Gaf and Gujar Jaat with the soft Gaf therefore it is not unreasonable to accept the view that it is from Gujars(milkman) that the city got its name.
Gujranwala, on the Grand Trunk Road from Rawalpindi to Lahore, now the third largest city in the Punjab, is of little centrality, even in the provincial context, due to its proximity to Lahore; like a number of secondary cities, it has been benefitting from the spill overs of the capital of Punjab.
