Hindustani phrases that were learned by the Prince of Wales party who he visited India in 1920

Ghoosul teeyar kurro Make ready the bath
Yeh boot sarf kurro Make clean these boots
 Peg do Give me a whisky and soda
 Ghora lao Bring round the horse
Yeh miler hai; leyjao This is dirty; take it away
 Tum Kootch Angrezi bolte hai? Do you speak any English?
Mai neigh sumujhta I don’t understand

Alex Von Tunzelmann
