Hyderabadi Muslims, also referred to as Hyderabadis,[3][4] are a community of Deccani people, from the area that used to be the princely state of Hyderabad in the regions of Marathwada, Telangana, and Kalyana-Karnataka.[5][page needed][failed verification]
While the term "Hyderabadi" commonly refers to residents in and around the South Indian city of Hyderabad, regardless of ethnic origin, the term "Hyderabadi Muslims" more specifically refers to the native Urdu speaking ethnic Muslims of the erstwhile princely state.[6][page needed] The collective cultures and peoples of Hyderabad Deccan were termed "Mulki", (countryman), a term still used today.[7][page needed] The native language of the Hyderabadi Muslims is Hyderabadi Urdu, which is a dialect of the Deccani language.[citation needed]
With their origins in the Bahmani Sultanate and then the Deccan sultanates, Hyderabadi culture and cuisine became defined in the latter half of the reign of the Asif Jahi Dynasty in Hyderabad. The culture exists today mainly in Hyderabad, Aurangabad, Parbhani, Nanded, Raichur, Bidar, Gulbarga, and among the Hyderabadi Muslim diaspora around the world, in particular, Pakistan,[8] the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, USA, Canada and the United Kingdom.[9]
