This dialect has traces from the establishment of [[Delhi Sultanate]] in around 1300s. Later other Islam empires such as [[Tughlaq dynasty]], [[Malik Maqbul Tilangani]], [[Bahmani Sultanate]] influenced the culture of in the erstwhile Hyderabad and surrounding areas. [[Qutb Shahi dynasty]] which was established in 1518, played a key role in shaping the Hyderabadi Telugu. The empire was extended to smaller areas in present-day [[Maharashtra]] and [[Karnataka]]. This made the introduction of [[Marathi language|Marathi]] and [[Kannada]] languages in the region. One of the other major reasons for the evolution of the language is the influence of [[Islam]] culture who preferred to speak [[Persian language|Persian]] or [[Urdu]] languages.

There are regional variants in the dialect. The dialect spoken by local non Telugu Hyderabadis is influenced by [[Hyderabadi Urdu]]. The dialect spoken in interiors of Telangana has localized influences and varies with community. The border regions have mutual influence with languages on other side of the border.
