Hindi and Urdu words learning thread.

Zabardast,Naasuk,Dastakhat,Baksheesh,parvah etc.

They're all words of Persian origin, present and very common for usage in Urdu, Colloquial Hindi and as you say Tamil as well.

They probably got absorbed in Tamil from Hindi. The Mughals, thanks to whom these words exist in Indic Languages, never actually ruled the Tamil region, so they came into usage in your language pretty recently; I'm guessing during British times when Urdu (and later Hindi aswell) became the official language of British India.
