Hyderabadi Urdu (Urdu: حیدرآبادی اردو) is a dialect of Urdu spoken in Hyderabad, India. It is considered one of the many Deccani Urdu dialects. It is a mixture of Hindustani (Hindi and Urdu) and Telugu, with many Persian and Turkish influences. Linguistically, it is notable for its mixing of the Indo-Aryan languages of the North (Hindustani) with the Dravidian languages of the South (Telugu). This dialect can be understood very easily by most Hindi or Urdu-speakers, but it is difficult for non-native speakers to use it themselves.

Some differences are:

Kaiku= why instead of kyon in traditional Urdu
Mereku= me instead of mujhey in traditional Urdu
Tereku= you instead of tujhey in traditional Urdu
Nakko= an alternate(and informal) negative generally indicating "no thanks" or "do not". Can be(and is often) used in place of mat. Naheen, naa and mat(from traditional Urdu) are still used where nakko is inappropriate for the context or in polite situations
Hau - for yes, instead of "Haan"

Potti - girl
Potta - Boy
Mia - Man (i.e. "Chalao mia." means "Let's go, man.")
Ghaeithla - moron ( i.e. "Kya ghaithla hai mia")
Chambu - mug ( i.e. "Haalat chambu hogayee")
Halloo - Slow (i.e. "Zara Hallu chalo bawa")

Plural form of words: The plural of a word is formed by sufixing 'an' to the word. the letter 'n' is silent. example: pottian (girls), choran (thieves), machcharan (mosquitoes), naaman (names), logan (people) etc.

[edit] Words and Sentences
