<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->'lampaTa' and 'luchchA' - are these found in telugu/tamiZh? First one is solidly in Sanskrit and continues in Hindi. for luchcha - not sure.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Luccha is a term of abuse in Telugu (well not a strong dose of abuse), I am not sure what it means since I never used it (my abuses are more in the Omkaara range).

Lampatam is there, but in sanskrit heavy Telugu, means:

Not used in everyday speech.

I don't think Tamizh has them.

Also Telugu has looti through urdu influence, used sometimes in Telangana dialect, we don't use it much.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->what about 'DAkU' (from which came dacoit)? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

We use BandhipOtu for dacoit.

Bodhi what is rainbow in Bhojpuri, Satrangi/Indhradhanush/Meghdhanush?

We use Vaanavillu/Harivillu/Indhradhanussu.

Also I wanted to ask, are Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Braj etc at present considered dialects of Hindi or have gained a separate language status?

I have a hard time understanding them (as in Omkara) mostly because of the accent but also some of the words I have never heard before, like for example nool for innocent, bwood usually uses bekasoor, native word I know is nirdhosh, do you have any idea where nool comes from?

It is used in "O Saathi Re" from Omkara at 1:40:
