Telangana Telugu, (Telangana slang or Telangana yaasa) often referred to as Hyderabadi Telugu (Telugu: హైదరాబాదీ తెలుగు) is a dialect of the Telugu language. It has its own history, spoken mostly in the Indian state of Telangana.[1] This dialect, which is spoken in the Hyderabad region, is highly influenced by Hyderabadi Urdu, also called Dakhani or Deccani Urdu, at least in the vocabulary.[2]

Evolution

This dialect has traces from the establishment of Delhi Sultanate in around the 1300s. Later other Islam empires such as Tughlaq dynasty, Malik Maqbul Tilangani, Bahmani Sultanate influenced the culture of the erstwhile Hyderabad and surrounding areas. Qutb Shahi dynasty , established in 1518, played a key role in shaping the Hyderabadi Telugu. The empire was extended to smaller areas in present-day Maharashtra and Karnataka. This made the introduction of Marathi and Kannada languages in the region. One of the other major reasons for the evolution of the language is the influence of Islam culture which preferred to speak Persian or Urdu languages.
