Hyderabad: The Hyderabadi dialect is known for its use of unique vocabulary and sentence structure influenced by the local Deccani language, which gives it a distinct flavour.
Some common features of the dialect include the use of “haina” (meaning “isn’t it?”) at the end of sentences, the use of ‘biryani’ as a term of endearment, and the pronunciation of certain words with a distinctly Hyderabadi accent.
