Which regional dialect of Uttar Pradesh is linguistically classified as “U-kar Bahula” due to the predominant grammatical use of words ending in the “u” sound ?
Bundeli
Dialectologists classify a dialect by the sound its grammatical forms habitually end in, and the label U-kar Bahula means "abounding in the u ending".
Bundeli, spoken across the Bundelkhand region covering Jhansi, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Banda and adjoining districts, carries this feature. Its nouns, pronouns and verb forms frequently close on the u sound, which is what marks it off from its neighbours to the ear.
The other dialects are classified by different endings. Braj Bhasha of the Mathura-Agra belt is called O-kar bahula because its forms end predominantly in o. Awadhi of the Ayodhya-Faizabad region is classified as A-kar bahula. Khari Boli of the upper Doab around Meerut is the base of standard Hindi and is not marked by any such vowel-ending predominance.
Hence, the answer is Bundeli.
