good good Alhamdulillah what we south indians speak has a strong recognition. This should be sent to all those who make fun of our language. huh
As I have already admitted earlier bias against Dakhni is symptomatic of ignorance of some of us in the north. The educated people are all aware of the literary development of Urdu and the reality is that it took place in south.

I have related an incident earlier at SF and I'll say it again. A Tamil friend of mine from Hyderabad, he is not a Muslim, once asked me, "Have you heard Tamilnadu Urdu?" "It is crazy", he averred.

Now some people feel the same about Hyderabad Urdu. What to do of that? They just do not understand that it is a different dialect. In fact similar biases are there regarding the variations of Hindi. A person from western UP will not be able understand the Hindi spoken by the common folk of eastern UP - and just forget about a Rajasthani in Chhota Nagpur (Jharkhand). I am from that belt that is officially recognized as the standard Hindi. Once I crossed into Haryana with a friend of mine. The whole excursion was an entertainment because of the Haryanvi accent of Hindi. We had heard it from sundry people because Haryana is just next door but we were hearing it en masse for the first time.

And I shall recount my earlier encounter about Dakhni here at SF itself. I some how got a strong urge to hear Dakhni and therefore I requested people to post links about Hyderabadi poetry. Friends took it as a sort of offense. Why? Allah (SWT) knows better. Dakhni is a legitimate language and that is it. Use it, propagate it and cultivate it. Nothing funny or peculiar about that. You cherish you own language, by the help of Allah (SWT).

I suppose brothers and sisters from south can use this thread to practice and indulge in Dakhini, including Urdu from Tamilnadu. Honestly speaking I do not know the accent and the idiom used in Vaniyambadi, Coimbatore, Pernambutt, Vellore or Wallajah Street, Chennai. So who will tell me about that if not the people from there? We do many times take the things for granted while the reality is that nothing gets done unless someone does it.

So go ahead and amuse us with your language. It is honourable.
