Dakhni Dialect (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dakhni, also known as Dakkhani, Deccani, is a dialect of the Urdu language, spoken in the Deccan region of southern India, centered on the cities of Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai. There is an extensive literature in this dialect, but it has fallen out of use in recent times. Dakhni is spoken in the Deccan plateau of India. Just as Urdu developed in Lucknow, Dakhni developed in South India due to the mixing of various Indian based languages and Persian based languages. The term Dakhni is perhaps an umbrella for a group of dialects spoken by certain communities of Hindus & Muslims in the Deccan region. Thus, Dakhni dialects are an amalgam of Urdu, Marathi, Konkani, Gujarati, Kannada, Telugu, Arabic, Persian and Turkish.
