Hi All, thanks to Wikepedia Team who gathered and posted the following information on it... I would like to call Hyderabadis for a discussion forum on this topic...
[edit] Junk linguistics
I've removed:
- Hyderabadi Urdu is very reflective of the relaxed attitude of the Hyderabadi citizens which allowed the coinage of words, much like ebonics.
I'm not sure if this means coinage within "Ebonics" (AAVE) or the coining of "Ebonics". There's nothing remarkable about the coining within AAVE, the coining of "Ebonics", or the coining within any language or lect: All languages and lects do it. I also find extremely doubtful any claim that any language or lect reflects the attitude of its speakers. Finnish is agglutinative: is this because its speakers agglutinative or otherwise "sticky" in some literal or metaphorical sense? If no, you mean something else, then just what do you mean, and what evidence do you have for it from a reputable linguistics text? -- Hoary 10:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lack of References
There appears to be a serious lack of references for some of the claims in this article. Specifically, the reference to "The Nizam was the riches man of the world in his period." How was this determined? What reference claims he was the richest in that period? To a certain degree, it sounds like a bit of well-intentioned patriotic pride, claiming a past ruler of Hyderabad to be the richest man in the world. If it's true, references should be provided. If not, it should be stricken. Kemkerj 20:03, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
