Brief Answer:
No effect on language development
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mrs XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
You need not to worry, it will not have any negative influence on child's language.
But you should remember that one parent only speak one language, like if you are speaking Tamil then do not use Telugu words in between and his father should only speak in Telugu.
Or you can use one language at home and another at school.
This can increases your childs creativity.
Hope I helped you.
