Lambadi (lambadi) refers to one of the vernacular languages and dialects of Southern India.—Lambadi is the language of the nomad Lambadis, Brinjaris, or Sugalis. It is described by Mr. W. Francis42 as a patois “usually based on one of the local vernaculars, and embroidered and diversified with thieves’ slang and expressions borrowed from the various localities in which the tribe has sojourned. Cust thought that Lambadi was Semi-Dravidian, but the point is not clear, and it has been classed as Indo-Aryan.
