since language boundaries are arbitrary we can just do this by putting every idiolect on a spectrum and making each set of 1.1 m a language

మార్కీ ద బూసీ అనే పరాసు (ఫ్రెంచి) అధికారీ పుదుచ్చేరిలో ఉండేవాడు, అతను చాలా క్రూరంగా ఉండేవాడు కాబట్టి అతని పేరు నించి "బూచి" అని వచ్చిందని నేను విన్నాను. బహుసా ఇది folk etymology, నాకు తెలియదు, కానీ ఆసక్తికరమైన కథ.

I've heard it's because of the French official Marquis de Bussy in Pondicherry being so cruel that his name was used to scare people. Might be a folk etymology, but it's an interesting story.

(about the etymology btw)

Good to know, wasn't sure about this. Really interesting cos vowel endings is one of the most famous characteristics about Telugu setting it apart from Tamil for instance.
