धन्यवाद
This is exactly what I was after. Thank you. Other than being patient and careful any hints for writing Hindi or Punjabi on a whiteboard? If I make small mistakes am I likely to offend anyone? I would rather like to use Devanagari and Gurmukhi (I think those are the correct names for the scripts) if I can mange it.

Umm… If you write दिन as दीन, it is supposed to sound different. First is din (shorter e sound), second one would be spoken as deen (llonger e sound). In some cases words could mean something else if these vowel sounds are different, but would not offend anyone. Same thing in Gurumukhi. Also, Punjabi can be written in Shahmukhi script (in which Urdu is written) which is actually the standard in Pakistan. In India, it is written in Gurumukhi only.
