Yes, but Punjabi is widely used in India rather than
'panjabi'. See the use of punjabi in the official govt
of punjab's site vs. the use of panjabi:
punjabi(http://punjabgovt.nic.in/):
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fpunjabgovt.nic.in+punjabi&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0
panjabi:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fpunjabgovt.nic.in%2F+panjabi&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0

It doesn't matter what the ISO code says, I sincerely
believe you should listen to what the users from
Punjab use.
