  • Honestly speaking, I've never heard of this language in India, and what astonishes me are its large numbers. I'm guessing that it is a term used for all the languages in the Deccan. "desi" means country or country language (village language). =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:33, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

There is not enough information to research this article from the internet though. --Fenice 09:56, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
