Talk:कान्हा

@DerekWinters I marked it as archaic because it's only used in bhakti etc. Yes, people sing bhakti even today, but the word कान्हा (kānhā) is not used outside of it, and most bhakti is in an older form of Hindi. I'm willing to compromise with {{lb|hi|liturgical}} though. —Aryaman^{A (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान)} 21:00, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Sometimes entries use {{lb| |often|_|archaic}}. I like this one. Palaestrator verborum (loquier) 21:09, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

@Palaestrator verborum: I kept on thinking about whether "often archaic" was accurate, since there are lots of modern Hindi (as in the current form of Hindi, not the poetic style of middle Hindi) bhajans (devotional songs) that use कान्हा (kānhā), like [1][2] etc. So I just did {{lb|hi|bhakti}}, since there's no general description that explains its usage. —Aryaman^{A (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान)} 00:27, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

@AryamanA: There are also Bollywood songs like this: 1, which are neither bhajans nor necessarily devotional in nature. I'd say if anything affectionate, which is why its seen in bhajans and other vaishnav bhakti things, because they want to show affection for Krishna.

@DerekWinters: Ah, I see what you mean. That makes perfect sense. —Aryaman^{A (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान)} 03:42, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
