Bambaiya Hindi (also spelled Bambaiyya Hindi) is a dialect of Hindi commonly spoken in and around the city of Mumbai, India. It incorporates words and pronunciations from Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati, Marathi and English. It is also referred to as known as Mumbaiyya Hindi or Bombay Hindi.
While many such local dialects have evolved in cosmopolitan cities around the world, Bambaiya Hindi is widely known throughout India as a result of its frequent use in Bollywood movies. Initially, this dialect was used to represent crooks and uncouth characters. Lately, however, Bambaiya Hindi has become popular and prominent, particular with the success of the Munnabhai movies, in which the lead characters - being members of the Mumbai criminal underworld - speak entirely in this dialect.
Despite this increase in popularity, this dialect has its critics, and is sometimes seen as being disrespectful and vulgar.
I have researched the Web extensively to compile this list.
