Contributions of Hindi to English
Officially called Hinglish, some of the hindi words are slowly creeping into the English language dictionaries. We have earlier known words like cot, jungle, bungalow, pundit that made into collins and oxford dictionaries; while other like chuddie, yaar, auntie, uncle, yaar, etc. are finding their place in the second such wave of adoption --- this one being more due to Popular Asian culture rather than colonial collision.
Be on the lookout, there are many more such words popular amongst the urbane youth in india or should I see there are hazaar such words waiting for their turn :)
