It is spoken mostly in the Indian state of Telangana.[2] That's why it is also called as Tealngana Language(తెలంగాణ భాష). It is influenced by Hyderabadi Urdu, a dialect of Deccani Urdu, at least in the vocabulary.[3] But it also has so many Dravidian roots or distinct desi words.

History

Perspective
This language's history can be tracked back around the early centuries of BCE. The language spoken in the Telangana region during the BCE era was referred to as 'Andhramu' or early Telugu. When this region was under the rule of Satavahana, Ikshwaku, and Vishnukundins the official languages are Sanskrit and Prakrit. But the people language is Telugu. The establishment of Delhi Sultanate around the 14th century CE. Later, other Muslim empires such as the Tughlaq dynasty and Bahmani Sultanate, influenced the culture of the Hyderabad area, as well as the Telangana region. The Qutb Shahi dynasty, established in 1518, played a key role in shaping Hyderabadi Telugu. The empire had extended to smaller portions in present-day Maharashtra and Karnataka. This introduced more Marathi and Kannada loanwords into the language. Another key reason for the evolution of the dialect is the influence of Islamic dynasties, whose official languages were Persian and Deccani Urdu. Before the formation of Telangana state this language is Telugu. Afterwards official records also states that this as Telugu language. But the Telangana movement brought the term 'Telangana Language' to the forefront. The term was officially recognized when the Telangana government declared September 9th as Telangana Language Day in 2014, to mark the 100th birth anniversary of Kaloji Narayana Rao.
