Madras Bashai or Madras Tamil, is a colloquial slang of Tamil language spoken in the city of Chennai, India (previously known as Madras). The word bashai derives from the Sanskrit bhasha (language). Like Bambaiya Hindi used in Mumbai, Madras Bashai is a loose polyglot blend of Tamil with Indian English, Telugu and Hindustani. Madras bashai has been largely popularized by autorickshaw drivers and fishermen from the northern parts of the city.

- Madras Bashai or Madras Tamil, is a colloquial slang of Tamil language spoken in the city of Chennai, India (previously known as Madras). The word bashai derives from the Sanskrit bhasha (language). Like Bambaiya Hindi used in Mumbai, Madras Bashai is a loose polyglot blend of Tamil with Indian English, Telugu and Hindustani. Madras bashai has been largely popularized by autorickshaw drivers and fishermen from the northern parts of the city. Madras Bashai evolved largely during the past three centuries. It grew in parallel with the growth of cosmpolitan Madras. After Madras Bashai became somewhat common in Madras, it became a source of satire for early Kollywood movies from the 1950s, in the form of puns and double entendres. Subsequent generations in Chennai identified with it and absorbed English constructs into the dialect, making it what it is today. Due to immigration and cultural exchange, terms from Madras Bashai are also used sometimes in other cities and towns of South India.
- Le tamoul de Madras, aussi appelé Madras bashai, est un langage mixte parlé dans la ville de Chennai (anciennement Madras) en Inde. C'est un mélange informel de tamoul et d'anglais, avec des emprunts au telugu, au kannada, au malayalam, à l'hindi et à l'urdu. Après que le Madras bashai fut devenu courant à Madras, il devint un objet de satire pour les premiers films de Kollywood (la production cinématographique de Madras) dans les années 1950, sous forme de jeux de mots. Les gérérations suivantes d'habitants de Chennai se sont identifiés avec cette langue singulière, mélangeant dialecte et constructions anglaises pour en faire le parler d'aujourd'hui.
