Bombay Hindi, also known as Bambaiya Hindi or Mumbaiya Hindi, is a variety of Hindustani spoken in Mumbai, in the Konkan region of India. Its vocabulary is largely from standard Hindi–Urdu, but it also draws from a substratum of Marathi-Konkani, which is the official language and is also widely spoken in the Konkan division of Maharashtra. Bombay Hindi also has elements of Gujarati.
