I don't recognise this word. Description ?

I think of Gharam-masalla - a curry or Guru-ma, made from mango.

GHURMUSAHA... A person who doesn't speak much.

I found this site so i will have some words to post daily.

Excuse me for not posting the link,it will defeat the

purpose for the word of the day.

Here is little write up from the site.

Most of the Hindi words spoken in Guyana come from the Bhojpuri dialect of Eastern UP and Bihar but as Surendra Gambhir puts it, our language is a koine, a fusion of several languages. This is why in our Guyanese Hindi vocabulary, you will find words from Tamil, Bengali, Urdu and other Indian languages. Here is but a sample of words which come to memory. There are authors such as Dr. Mahabir of Trinidad and more recently Mr. Harry Hergash of Toronto who have published books on Indo-Caribbean words and phrases which may be informational.
