Telangana Telugu (Telugu: తెలంగాణ తెలుగు), often referred to by its sub-dialect, Hyderabadi Telugu (Telugu: హైదరాబాదీ తెలుగు), is a dialect of the Telugu language. It is spoken mostly in the Indian state of Telangana.[2] It is highly influenced by Hyderabadi Urdu, a dialect of Deccani Urdu, at least in the vocabulary.[3]

History
This dialect can be tracked back to 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.
