16. Telugu

Telugu is India's third most used languages, with just enough over 74 million native speakers. Moreover, Telugu is spoken in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and Yanam district of Puducherry. Telugu speaking migrants are also found in neighboring states of Karnataka, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, the Kharagpur region of West Bengal in India, and some parts of Jharkhand.

Some English "loanwords" include, podu, an area of jungle cleared for farming (year 1938 ), and the most well known by far, is bandicoot, which is thought of to literally mean "pig-rat". The  example English "loanwords" are just a few words that were thought to be unfamiliar and rather rare.
