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.
[edit] Merging with Dhakni
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)
[edit] Lingua franca of South India ?
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)
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.
