Considering that this "youthful" southern language (embellished everyday by wayward barbers, janitors and rikshawalahs), and keeping in mind that Ling is short for Lingo, a more appropritate name might well be batakhling!

to be honest, it was hard for me too. at first i thought it meant "baat ki" which vaguely made sense. when vids raised the subject, it suddenly clicked.

I have a more radical suggestion. Given the expanded mission of the sabha, I think the name ought to be: Duckini, Batakhini, Hinglish Prachar Sabha.

This name has several advantages over the alternatives being proposed:
1. It covers the entire scope of work of the sabha.
2. It eliminates an unfortunate regionalist bias in favor of southern India. With the new name, it can easily start pracharing these languages elsewhere in India.
3. It retains the original initials.

what is more important is that funding for this sabha be very liberal and employee/faculty salaries be at par with corporate salaries offered by blue chip companies or the IIMs and that i, as a distinguished person in batakhini, should be nominated chairman of this sabha.

I agree. To build credibility for the sabha, you are going to need some highly-placed southern Indians who will give public statements and speeches saying good things about Batakhini. I am a southern Indian, and I am willing to do this, provided I have a high-sounding position and get a good salary. You should appoint me vice-chairman.

Duckini is how non-Duckinians call Duckini. Batakhini is how the Batakhinians call their language. This is like the difference between Hindian and Hindustani.
