Hyderabadi Urdu (Urdu:حیدرآبادی اردو) is avariety ofDakhini Urdu, spoken in areas of the formerHyderabad State, corresponding to theIndian state ofTelangana, theMarathwada region ofMaharashtra and theKalyana-Karnataka region ofKarnataka.
It is natively spoken by theHyderabadi Muslims and their diaspora.[1][2] It contains loan words from Indian languages likeMarathi,Telugu,Kannada and foreign languages likeArabic,Turkic andPersian.[3] Hyderabadi is considered to be a northern variety ofDakhini.[4]
Hyderabadi is mutually intelligible with mostHindi/Urdu speakers but has distinctive features from interaction with local Indian Languages such as Marathi, Telugu, and Kannada.[5]
The letterق (qāf) is pronounced as an unvoiced velarfricative /x/ with the same pronunciation asخ (khe) whereas in Standard Hindustani dialects theق is pronounced as a velar plosive /k/ with the same pronunciation asک (kāf), or in more educated settings as /q/. For example, the word 'qabar' (grave) is pronounced almost identical as 'khabar' (news).
Distinct vocabulary unique to Hyderabadis:[6][7]
The suffix"ān" is often used to mark plurality. The letter 'n' is an almost silent nasal stop. For example,Logلوگ (people) would becomeLogānلوگاں,Bātبات (talk) would becomeBātānباتاں,Ādmiآدمی (men) pronounced asAdmiادمی would becomeAdmiyānادمیاں, etc. in the Hyderabadi dialect.
While talking, many long a's (as in "father") are pronounced "uh" as in "hut." For example, instead of"ādmi"آدمی (man) or"rāsta"راستہ (path) in Orthodox Urdu, Hyderabadi would use"admi"ادمی and"rasta"رستہ. Similarly"bhūl"بھول (to forget),"ṭūṭ"ٹوٹ (to break) and"čūṛi'ān"چوڑیاں (bangles) is"bhul"بُھل,"ṭuṭ"ٹُٹ and"čuṛiyān"چُڑیاں in Hyderabadi.
In the early sixties, film starMehmood popularized another dialect in Indian films, Dakhni slang, which originates from former Mysore State.
A very famous Guinness record holder drama /stage comedy written in Dakhani isAdrak Ke Punjey. ManyUrdu poets also write in the Hyderabadi dialect of Dakhani, includingPagal Adilabadi,Khamakha Hyderabadi and Nukko Hyderabadi (ofChicago, Illinois).
Hyderabadi gained sudden prominence and recognition in 2006 after the success of the comedy filmThe Angrez that adopted the dialect. The film's success sparked several other Hyderabadi dialect films including:Kal Ka Nawaab,Hyderabad Nawaabs,Aadab Hyderabad,Gullu Dada,Gullu Dada Returns,Berozgaar,Hungama In Dubai,Daawat-e-Ishq.
