Why Dakhni is Bengaluru's Vibe | SoSouth

Dakhni is a form of Urdu spoken in the Southern cities of India. This language has its roots in the capital of the country, Delhi. Dehlavi, which was spoken in Delhi was brought down to the South by various Muslim rulers like Alauddin Khilji and Muhammad bin Tughlaq when they came here for their conquests. Dehlavi amalgamated with local languages like Kannada, Tamil and Telugu to create Dakhni.
It’s interesting to note that the Dakhni spoken in Bengaluru sounds completely different from the one spoken in Chennai or even Hyderabad. Catch RJ Sarah (Shivajinagar Ki Salma) speak in these various dialects of Dakhni. Bengaluru’s very own Gully boy, Pasha bhai speaks to SoSouth on why he chose to rap in Dakhni and more.
