Desi words
Deśi words, also known as Deśya words (Sanskrit: देश्य), represent the vocabulary in Indo-Aryan languages which are of non-Indo-European origin, mostly borrowed from Dravidian languages and Munda languages, the languages which are currently native to South India and East India respectively.[1] They are also known as Deshaj words (Hindi: देशज), and considered one of the three etymological classes defined by native grammarians of Middle Indo-Aryan languages, alongside tatsama and tadbhava words.[2] The word desi in this context means "local" (or "of the countryside"),[1] referring that these loanwords are from the native languages of the Indian subcontinent that existed before the Indo-Aryan migrations.
