Each case is different.

Urdu gets the highest scores but only on words that it shares with Arabic or Farsi, which is where most of the results are currently coming from. Words that exist only in Urdu give much lower scores:

جستجو search Urdu 12,500,000
جمع credit Urdu 8,400,000
آزاد free 45 Urdu/Farsi 7,420,000
حساب bill/account Urdu 6,650,000
حسن beauty Urdu 9,930,000

لاهور Lahore Pop 6,373,000 Urdu 64,000
کمپیوٹر computer Urdu 29,100
فہرست News Urdu 361,000

Of course that makes it much tougher to know whether you have primary terms in Urdu or not.

Hindi is more straight forward as it really only shares a script with Marathi:


एक One HIndi 1170000
समाचार news HIndi 686000
पृष्ठ Home HIndi 630000
कार्यक्रम Program HIndi 437,000
छ Chh HIndi 378000
बात business case circumstance communication incident matter occasion saying stich thing to HIndi 348,000
काम act action affair business concern deed employment engagement fact function labour HIndi 409,000
नाम Name HIndi 395,000
ई Ee HIndi 305000
अब Now HIndi 371,000
पता Address HIndi 490,000

You are basically looking for anything over 100K but even over 10K might be good for the right term.

Expect much lower scores in Punjabi. I would not consider this a high priority langauge as only the Sikhs use this script. Punjabi speakers in Pakistan, write in Urdu.

ਡਾਇਰੈਕਟਰੀ directory Punjabi 16,200
ਖਾਤਾ account Punjabi 15,500
ਘਰ home Punjabi 11,000
ਕੈਮਰਾ camera Punjabi 67

I would consider that Bangla should be targeted before Punjabi. It is much more widely spoken. It is the official language of a country and due to problems getting good Translation sources, it is virtually untouched, but don't expect high Google scores either as their is not much indexible web content to date.

No, could still be good but may not be primary term.

डायरी is the correct term for diary.
