Ündûkûsû (autonym: ఉన్దూకూసూ (reformed), ఋన్దుకుసు (classical), Ündûkûsû [ɯndʊkʊsʊ]) is a South Chlesamnic language spoken primarily in southern India, being a widely spoken language in the modern state of Andhra Pradesh. Ündûkûsû, being a Chlesamnic language means it’s part of the “Para-Germanic” language family. Being a Chlesamnic language means its closely related to the other Chlesamnic languages like Sishami, the Pavlovic languages and Tevvic. Being a Southern Chlesamnic language it is a descendant of Proto-Southern-Chlesamnic (also known as Classical Ündûkûsû). Being one of the multiple colloquial languages in India it was called a Prakrit even though it isn’t Indo-Aryan. Similar to the other languages of its area it has undergone significant Sanskrit influence, even though they weren’t fully Sanskritized.
History
This language is thought to have been spoken in India since 50 BCE, as that’s when the pre-classical Ündûkûsû people arrived in India. Under the Mughal empire, they had their own Subah. After that under the British they had their own salute state with 15 guns.
