Cambridge just added 'accha' to its dictionary and Twitter has no chill
While some find it amusing, the Hindi and Urdu descendants are fighting over for ownership
07 Dec, 2020
Viewed as the benchmark for the English language, the Cambridge International Dictionary of English, by the Cambridge University Press has just become more inclusive, having added the word 'accha' formally to their list of over 140,000 words, phrases, and meanings.
Given the latest (and might we add, surprising) addition, many from the desi community have some thoughts on the update.
While some find it amusing, the Hindi and Urdu language descendants are fighting for ownership. Here's how Twitter is responding in chaos.
Some are conflicted
While others aren't quite convinced
It IS a little weird, isn't it?
The students are truly grateful
But the keyboard mafia is straight-up annoyed
However, Urdu enthusiasts are raising their hands up to rejoice
The suggestions have started rolling in....hmmm
