<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The andhra-s having borne the brunt of the rampaging ghazi-s seem to have acquired a lot of urdu words that seem to be very different from the sanskritizing effect of the aShTa-dig-gajalu. I have seen that the former heritage of telugu have also transmitted to tamil more recently.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That is more true of the Telangana dialect, the Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra one's have much less Farsi/Arabic in them.

I estimate that when I talk less than 4-5% are Farsi/Arabic words, the real killer blow to Telugu has been dealt by English just like for many other languages.

The difference is obvious I guess.
