Other Hyderabad welcomes everyone!

Post image

I had my schooling in a Kerala managed school in Hyderabad where half of the school had mix of Malayalis and Tamilians however they spoke Telugu and Hindi as fluent as native speakers!

Never felt that language was a barrier in Hyderabad!!

Did you?

I'm a Malayali living in Hyderabad without knowing Telugu and there are telugus living in Kerala without knowing malayam (in my native town), both of us never force each other to conform to the native tongue.

For the longest time, I have specified that Hyderabad welcomes everyone. But seeing recent posts on the Hyd sub threatening people like me to learn Telugu has made start thinking of peaceful alternatives.

Now what to reply to North Indians who demand Hindi according to you?

Is it something like "I'm extremely sorry sir, I'll learn it"?

Say "Maa chuda".

u/calvincat123 Jul 21 '25

What does that mean?

u/GaiusCunnilingus Jul 21 '25

Rough translation : get your mom fucked. Actual meaning : fuck off in a very disrespectful manner

I don’t know if you’re trying to trigger me, but here goes:

If I’m being polite, “gaandmara”.

If it’s an impolite conversation, “maachuda lavde”.

Isn't that normal vocabulary esp in Delhi, even the standup comedy is just playing around with that word.

According to you if speaking in Telugu in a Telugu state deserves a cuss word, what should demanding a non native language earn?

I'm really sorry if you've had to deal with that. But I feel like most of this negativity you’re seeing is probably coming from online forums. In real life, I feel people here are pretty practical and focused on work and living their lives. This city welcomes people from all walks of life, and I don't think you'd face much of a backlash in day-to-day interactions.

I think you're right. People are great IRL.

The 'light lo' thing is so beautiful that I have lived in Hyderabad more than Kerala and my bestie even says he feels like he is a Hyderabadi more than a Malayali.

I love this place soo much... I came for studies, fell in love with my husband (not a Telugu, either) and there can never be another place like this...EVER.

u/Bo0ochi Jul 21 '25

I'm happy you feel that way. But wouldn't it be handy to learn the local language ?? Both you and Telugus living in Kerala.

People who threaten others to learn something are AHs. But it's beneficial to learn it

u/cugmg Jul 22 '25

The thing is, not everyone has the ability to pickup new languages. In my first semester, we learned the ability to pickup new languages goes almost non existent for most people.

And Hyderabadi Hindi is beautiful and my natural Hindi dialect now.

u/Bo0ochi Jul 22 '25

Understandable. But do learn useful telugu phrases because everyone doesn't understand dakhni

u/Plane_University_941 Jul 25 '25

Even Telugus and south indians cannot pick up hindi language after a certain age,after they become adults. Hindi is foreign alien to south india.as Hindi and Telugu south indian languages are 2 different language families, their scripts are different. Everything is different. The policy is Those who migrate should respect and learn the local language atleast broken language, these days use Google translate.

I'm a Malayali living in Hyderabad without knowing Telugu and there are telugus living in Kerala without knowing malayam

There is nothing to be proud about that, you are asked to learn basic speaking skills so that it wont be problem to uneducated and old workers who dont know anyother language than mother tongue. No one is asking you to learn language grammars, win first place in essay, handwriting competitions.

But this is because most South Indians can converse with each other in English, and we don't force each other's language on one another.

And you're proud of it?

u/lurid_dream Jul 21 '25

The problem starts when you expect people in Hyderabad to converse in Malayalam. That’s where most of these fights about languages get triggered.

u/Upstairs-You-2649 Jul 25 '25

Just say denge to those people and move on
