In 1886 , henry yule and ac burnell compiled hobson-jobson , the first dictionary of anglo-indian . It consisted of words from hindi and other indian languages that had slipped into the speech of british soldiers and administrators posted on the subcontinent .
The yule log was either dragged by the people of one farmstead or several neighbours together . This was accompanied by songs , singing games , and various sounding instruments .
