In Punjabi, if a word ends in a consonant with out a vowel symbol is the implied 'a' ever used?

I couldn't really get your question but I assume you meant, like in Hindi if a word ends in consonant, in English an 'a' is used at the end like dharm becomes dharma etc.

well, I'm Punjabi and I am almost certain there isn't such thing in Punjabi. You write it in English as it's pronounced in Punjabi, which means dharm in Punjabi will be written dharm and not dharma. People can mistake dharma with someone's name too, as it's popular in Punjabi.

I don't even consider there to be an implied "a" at the end. The only time I see that happen is when there is a long pause between two words. During a long pause after a word ending in a consonant, there is an "a" sound that acts as a filler.

The implied "a" is also used whenever a word ends in a consonant in most Punjabi and Hindi songs. Very rarely do I see a song that does not have the implied "a."

The first answerer is right!

You need to tell us what's on your mind by giving a few examples. Are you talking of Gurmukhi script?

Actually, while writing we use some vowel symbols which we do not pronounce while speaking...like small 'e' or 'u'. That's how 'Gurumukhi' becomes 'Gurmukhi' and 'Hari' becomes 'Har'. As for 'implied a'...nah, not much!

Consider this: "Main daal naal roti khaaddi" [I ate roti (flat bread) with dal (lentils)]

We pronounce this as it is...not as "Main daala naala roti khaaddi" NO!
