Its origin is Bambaiyya Hindi, Mumbaiyya, or Bombay Hindi (Hindi: ??????? ?????) is a vernacular form of Hindi spoken primarily in Mumbai
Bambaiyya Hindi relates to mainstream Hindi the way Cockney relates to "proper" English and "Brooklyn English" relates to New York
Its basically a slang, Di
Thank you Divya. cockney isn't proper English and more slang, but I get your meaning. Proper English would be the 'queens' English. Thank you Divya. I love learning but few would spare time to teach, and so kindly in detail. God bless you in abundance.
Muft mein chandan, silver for free (or is it moonlight, Am I confusing chandi, chandan with chandni?) but what is ghis mere nandan?
Sorry to bother you, although I love English, it being my only language, I prefer the depth of Asian, like Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu, Arabic, Hebrew and Chinese.
They have this historical weight in their meaning that English as a creole language does not. For example the word heart in Hindi from the sanskrit word meaning 'that which leaps' for at some point people felt this vessel moving in their being.
I would be honoured if you could help me?😳 Love Sabah
