Bhopali Urdu/Bhopali Bakar

(Got this post from a mail chain .. and could not resist sharing it on my Blog being a Bhopal localite myself )

Bhopali, also known as Bhopali Bakar or Bhopali Urdu, is a vernacular form of Hindustani language spoken primarily in Bhopal , India . (that is My Bhopal) On the streets of Bhopal, people from every part of Bhopal/Sukhi Sewaniya/Ghoda Nikkas add to the already messed up vocabulary of Bhopali. The language emerged from the old part of the city, and is mainly spoken by the residents there, although the residents of the new city also acknowledge it.

Bhopali is more influenced by the paan eating habits of Bhopali (residents) and sounds like very crude version of Hindi. Words have been polished to make them sound very smooth. For e.g., words ending with '-aan', such as pahalwaan, khan etc., are spoken with nasal accent. Similarily, the word raha, used in conjunction with verbs, is spoken as riya. E.g. kar riya hai, aa riya hai, ja raiya hai, etc. On the other hand, some words are extended than their normal use. The word hai is sometimes spoken as hega.

The language is spoken in a lyrical way which gives it a very comical intonation.

Bhopal is famous for four things "Parda/Zarda/Garda/Naamarda". The first of the four words 'Parda' is for symbolizing the old tradition of having Burqa clad ladies which you'll come across in scores on the streets of Bhopal.

The second 'Zarda' symbolizes yet another tradition of chewing Tobacco with 'Paan', which is in vogue till today. You can still find pan stalls all over the city in scores. The third 'Garda' is for the dusty roads one came across in the old days of yore. 'Naamarda' refers to the eunuchs reciding in the older areas of the city, specifically Itwaara, Somwara and Mangalwara. They dance at various occasions such as marriage and birth of a child, and demand for money in return of the 'favour'.

A famous dish of Bhopal is "Bun Kabab" ( along with namak waali chai ). Easily available on the streets of old city, these small eateries are a meeting point for many.

Among other favorite dishes is "kamar bhai ka paya soup & bade ki biryaan" found at "Chatori galli"
