They lumped Hindi-Urdu together as one language, bhaktjan will not like that.

i Met a Hindian. During our conversation he said he used to work in Hyderabad. His colleagues who knew hindi would not talk to him in hindi and would talk onlu in Telugu. They would ask him to speak in telugu although he did not know any.

It was funny that a Hindian is whining about the Telengans... and a Tamilan is laughing away - inside.

A Telanganite asking a Hindian to speak in "Telugu" is surprising. The average Hyderabadi can speak "Hindi-Urdu-Hyderabadi". Seemandhra folks in Hyderabad are the ones who usually can't. If the Hindian fellow learns Hyderabadi Telugu and then moves to AP, the locals will advise him to act as a comedian in Telugu movies.
