Sure...Dakkhini & Dakhani are one & the same ... but Hyderabadi Urdu mau be merged with Urdu.

Hyderabadi Urdu should be merged with Urdu -- Hyderabadi Urdu is a dialect of Urdu and this information should be listed under the "Dialects" section of Urdu.

Dieresis 15:11, 16 August 2006 (UTC) All languages are dialects. The question is how to treat two dialects that are distinct but also closely related. How closely are they related and how does the distance between them compare to other sets of related dialects? Whether or not the articles are merged, it is important to recognize that these two dialects are linguistically distinct. For example, Hyderabadi Urdu speakers pronounce ق as خ and northern Urdu speakers find this practice passing strange.[reply]

Hyderabadi Urdu definitely has its place in history. In fact in the evolution and development of Urdu Hyderabadi Urdu has played a major role. It has its unique place and unique literature that is distinguishable and distinguished. I would state in the nature of Hyderabadi Urdu grammar the distinction of male and female verb ending has taken the same form. For example both male and female would say "Main kha'na' kha raha'hun." My humble opinion is to enrich the page further rather than merging it. Thanks. --Omer Farook 01:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am a native speaker of Dakhni from Chennai. I believe that Hyderabadi Urdu can be a sub dialect (if such a thing exists) of Dakhni. There are a lot of differences between Dakhni spoken in various states. They have absorbed the characteristics of their native states. Therefore, I am in agreement with Omer that this article must be maintained and not be merged with Hyderabadi Urdu. Thanks, --Afroze.sahib (talk) 01:07, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dakhni is actually dialect of Dakhini which people of Karnataka speak.

Hyderabadis speak a dialect called Dakani (pronounced daccani)

This language has got nothing to do with Urdu.

In fact Urdu is actually a dialect of Dakhini Kizznyc (talk) 08:20, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A scentence in the third parapraph says "Dakhini is the lingua franca of the Muslims of South India". This is clearly wrong. How about changing this to something that refers to the geographies where Dakhini is spoken ? The muslims of Southern Tamil Nadu, the Muslims of Malabar, all spoke different languages than Dakhini. -- Sudarshanhs 20:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dieresis 10:52, 14 September 2006 (UTC) I agree. This language may be spoken in various places, but I don't think most South Indian Muslims speak it.[reply]

Bangalori Urdu is totally different. It's never recommended to be merged with dakhni urdu or hyderabadi urdu. Similar to Hyderabadi Urdu, it also has its own terms such as Sabaa (or) Sabaan for tomorrow. Many such words they use when talking with each other. It would be nice to see a page with its terms in a different page, If you want, I can collect it for you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hakeemhere (talk • contribs) 13:34, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think it shuould be merged. I am from TN and the URDU we speak is 40% different from Hyderabdi URDU which is a little more refined than Dhakni though not as refined as Lucknowi URDU. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.142.92.201 (talk) 17:12, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We can collectively say that Dakhini is an ethnic group, and there are some non-muslims as well. Kizznyc (talk) 07:51, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's changed to Dakhini Muslims now Kizznyc (talk) 07:52, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have a lot of knowledge of my Dakhini ethnicity and a high IQ please advise because only through people can we remove the misunderstanding that we speak Urdu. Kizznyc (talk) 07:52, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Are there statistics that can be added here?

I'm hoping that happens but until Government of India considers south speakers to be speaking Urdu which is a mistake we cannot have any census Kizznyc (talk) 07:50, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I Don't agree of merger. It has been suggested by some one to merge the article

Don't Merge. The article specifically relates to the city of Aurangabad. Therefore needs a seprate identity. Fuwad ca (talk) 16:56, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That exactly is the question. What is so special about Aurangabad? Maquahuitl^talk! 03:34, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it need to be "so special" to be on wikipedia? Is their any such rule? The article is about the contribution of Aurangabad to the development of Urdu language and about Urdu in Aurangabad city over ages and thats enough a reason to have a seprate article.Fuwad ca (talk) 14:02, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The question has been answered in a different context though. Here is a link to that discussion.Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Urdu_in_Aurangabad

I again repeat what I have said before about this article:

I think the article highlights the contribution of Aurangabad city to the development of Urdu language and culture. It traces the history of the language in the Deccan and since Aurangabad was the capital of the Deccan first under the Delhi sultanate, the Mughal Empire, and then under the Nizam, its contribution to the development of the language should be recognized.

As it is, there are very few and sketchy articles on Urdu Language, therefore I request the administrators to keep this article as it helps a reader in increasing his knowledge about Urdu language. It also adds to the resource on Urdu language available on Wikipedia.

Also many prominent Urdu poet and writers specific to Aurangabad who do not find coverage on Wikipedia are covered in this article, like: Balaji Trimbak Naik Zarra, Mirza Daud, Muhammad Mah Mehram, Arifuddin Ajiz, Dargahquli Khan Dargah, Fazli, Sarim, Lala Lachmi-narian Shafiq, Shaikh Chand and Yusuf Nazim. With so many writer and poets (not covered by specific articles) from Aurangabad I think the article does justice to the topic and does not require a merger.

Well, First, dont merge the article

Urdu in Aurangabad with Deccani/Dakhini, and the merger template should be removed. The reasons why I dont support the idea of merger: The title of the article and the topics discussed in the article says about the development of Urdu in Aurangabad and its contribution. Where as it does not says much about the Urdu of Aurangabad.--Omer123hussain (talk) 09:17, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply

• Secondly, As there is very less difference between each other, It looks logical if we could merge
  Bangalori Urdu as Urdu in BangAlore.--Omer123hussain (talk) 09:23, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply

Read what I have added about Wali Deccani. I admit although he was single handedly responsible for the modern Dakhini, the old Dakhini which is seen in Kadam Rao Padam Rao and Kitab E Nawras goes to show Dakhini is not of Aurangabad Kizznyc (talk) 07:49, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly guy's need lot of homework to be done for this article, though there are many forms of deccani spoken in the region. It all need to be covered in this article. Well hope for the best and make it possible.--Omer123hussain (talk) 08:24, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have made quite significant changes but I don't know how to put it in which section please modify as you see fit. Kizznyc (talk) 07:48, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone through a lot of trouble asking my grandparents and elders and edited from a phone and not saved the text anywhere.

If you delete my edits when they are accurate how is it fair?

Please don't do that anonymous person Kizznyc (talk) 08:21, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article both claims that Deccani is a transplanted variety of Dehlavi and that it's an independent language. It goes back and forth between these two contradictory claims. I don't know if there's more than one Deccani, or if sources disagree on its ancestry, but this should be cleared up. — kwami (talk) 08:28, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is a transplanted variety of Dehlavi. Anything that says otherwise should be removed, or at least, questioned.

I just cleaned up yesterday some vague claims to the effect that it was "Urdu". "Urdu" got invented when literary Dakhini came back to Delhi after the Bahamani Sultanate was deposed. Urdu is a Persianised Dakhini/Dehlavi.

It was only after Wali, a poet of Dakhini, arrived in Delhi that Hindustani began to develop as a literary language in the North. Wali used what is known as Rekhta/Hindi and showed that it was capable of great poetry. Rekhta means 'scattered' and implies that it had not yet so much been Persianized as happened later. It is known as the earliest form of Urdu-Hindustani poetical speech. Urdu as a language name occurs for the first time in 1776 in a couplet by the poet Mashafi (1750—1824). However, the use of Urdu referring to camp, court, or city (Zaban-e-Urdu or Zaban-e-Urdu-e-Shahi or Zaban-e-Urdu-e-Mualla) had been current since 1560.^[1]

It is better not to use the term "Hindustani" for any of these languages. It was "Dehlavi" or "Delhi Hindavi", which was adopted by Deccan and became a lingua franca in the South. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:03, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
