The native language of Indians is the national language of India, and it is the second language and diplomatic language of India. Just like IELTS listening has a printed English test.

I hope to adopt it.

Why do Indians speak English in all public places instead of their own language?

Of course, speak English in foreign-related situations, otherwise you won't listen carefully to the difference. Moreover, the language in India is very complicated, with many branches. People who are unfamiliar with it and people from different regions used to be very different from each other. There is no language similar to "Mandarin", so it is better to speak English.

What's the difference between English spoken by Indians and English spoken by British and Americans?

Indian pronunciation is greatly influenced by the local language, and the intonation is also very different from British English. Other special pronunciations are very different. For example:

T is pronounced as d: time, and Dime is almost indistinguishable.

The pronunciation of th is not accurate, it is not regular tongue articulation, it is closer to S, and S, thanks is pronounced like sanks.

P is pronounced B: Pears and bears are almost indistinguishable.

After getting used to the Indian accent, understanding is no problem. Although there are differences in pronunciation and intonation, their way of thinking about English is inherited from the British.

Apart from the different language habits between Britain and the United States (Indians generally belong to British English), for example, Indians call it "leaving the station", Americans call it "leaving the city", Indians call it "cavalcade", Americans call it "motorcycle", and so on. Indians also bring many Hindi words into English for "innovation".

The "features" of Indian English in pronunciation often leave a deep impression on first-time contacts. Many people are familiar with the famous example "I am dirty (thirty) and my wife is dirty (thirty)". Due to local languages such as Hindi

Due to the influence of pronunciation and intonation, it is difficult for Indians to distinguish T and D, P and B, L and R in English. Pronunciation of "th"

It sounds like a "t", and the silent consonant "r" is often pronounced. I am thirty years old, and so is my wife. But when you read it in printed pronunciation, it becomes "I am dirty and my wife is dirty". An interesting phenomenon is that some Indians like to pronounce the post-holiday consonant G, just like Japanese people read foreign words. For example, morning should be pronounced "morning-ge". The most unique thing is that an Indian friend once talked about Washington and said "washingtge-ton".

The beauty of intonation is really hard to describe in words, but if you have heard two college students in Delhi talking in English, you will find it unforgettable. It is characterized by very fast speech and euphemistic ups and downs like Indians. Vocabulary is probably the most troublesome part of Indian English. In addition, Hindi has two very useful suffixes, one is "-ji" and the other is "-na". The former shows respect, usually after the name of the person. For example, Sonia is considered Sonia Ji, Advani is considered Advani Ji and Shiva is considered Shivaji. And some middle and lower Indians have poor English, so they add "Ji" to all English words to mean "insurance". I once chatted with an Indian doorman. He only used three words from greeting, answering my questions to saying goodbye: "hello-ji" ("Haroji"), "sir-ji" ("Mr. Ji") and "OK-ji" ("0Kji"). It's amazing. In Hindi, "that" means negation, which is usually put at the end of a sentence, which means anti-doubt. For example, standard English says, "You were there, right?" You were there, weren't you? ) Now many Indians will say, "Were you there?" Express the same meaning. As for other words with "Indian characteristics", such as saffron (saffron, which means apricot yellow in India, and refers to Hindu groups and people by extension) and parivar (one of Hindi "families"). ......

Why do some Indians speak English?

India used to be a British colony, so many Indians can speak fluent English, but they all have a strong Indian accent.

Do Indians really not speak English?

Do they really all speak English? I find the answer disappointing. From large supermarkets to street vendors, almost no one can understand you, especially when you need to find goods. My high school classmates jokingly asked me how my English level is now. They think that if my spoken English is not good, there may be problems in my life. In fact, there is no need to worry. Every time you buy something, you can read it carefully before you do it. All the packages are marked in English. O(∩_∩)O Haha ~ Indians who can't speak English are embarrassed. They will tell you how much you want when you pay, let alone show it on the cash register. A question that many people care about: What is the official language of India? There is no doubt that it is English! Even though it has not been well popularized among ordinary people, it has an overwhelming advantage in public places and cultural media. English is an important link linking this multi-ethnic and multi-religious country and a veritable "official language" in India. There are countless languages in both the south and the north, and it is impossible to communicate normally across regions without English. Do you want to learn Hindi? If you can master a foreign language effortlessly, that's great. After all, not many people know English, and it is still useful to learn it. I'm not going to learn because it's of little use. Hindi is only used in the north, not in the whole country. The pronunciation and characters of each dialect are different, and there are too many kinds for me to finish learning. No matter what you want to do, the staff in those institutions can speak English, and the level is still very high. Don't worry about language problems! It is often said that Indians can't understand English. I think it should be explained separately: the accent of teachers in universities is ok, although it is a little different from that in Europe and America, it is still a standard, and the vocabulary is large enough to understand; The accent of the local people outside the school is really pleasing, and the pronunciation looks like a dialect. I can only grasp the key words and get a general understanding, but it is undeniable that I am really fluent. Indians speak very fast, and sometimes it is difficult to understand even with a good accent. In fact, it's not their fault, it's our own poor language ability. I once saw a German student talking to an Indian. She could fully understand, but I couldn't. In fact, the size of my vocabulary has a lot to do with my familiarity with English, because the pronunciation deviation is not very big, even for an American, I may not understand it. The "features" in pronunciation are often impressive. Many people are familiar with the famous example "I am dirty (thirty) and my wife is dirty (thirty)". It is difficult for them to distinguish T from D, P from B, L from R. The pronunciation of "th" is the same as that of "T", and the silent consonant "R" is often pronounced. I will remember that they often mispronounce, and I won't be stupid again next time, but I must remember: don't imitate when you speak, or you will become an Indian accent! Many people told me that the important reason why they don't want to study in India is that Indians don't speak standard English, and they are afraid that they will develop an accent like Sam after staying for a few years, and there is no company to ask for it after returning home. I think they are naive and think that their accents can change for many years. They have met several overseas students who have gone to Europe and America. How can they speak a foreign language with a foreign accent? In India, too, we will still have the original accent, as the last two brothers and sisters can prove, but our fluency has changed. English is a symbol of status and education level in India. In a country with a disparity between the rich and the poor, as long as a few people can master this "aristocratic language". When they speak English, they don't have the embarrassed expression of shyness and self-confidence, and they write better, which is difficult for ordinary college students in China to achieve in terms of vocabulary and sentence cleanliness. Although I still can't understand what they are saying, I think I need to get used to it. I believe that if I continue to study, I will make great progress. After all, there are many opportunities to contact English.

Do Indians speak standard English?

Why do Indians love to speak English so much?

It is not that Indians love to speak English, but that India was once a British colony, so English is widely spread in India, especially in the upper classes of Indian society, and they are proud of speaking English! But some Indian spoken languages are really quite speechless!

Why Indian English is better than Chinese?

Due to years of British colonial influence, English has penetrated into every corner of Indian society. English is the second additional official language and national lingua franca in India.

What language do Indians speak?

The official languages of India are: Hindi (national language), Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu Jaratimalayalam Kannadariyapunjabiasame, Kashmiri Hindi and Sanskrit. India was once a British colony and was deeply influenced by British culture. After India's independence half a century ago, English and Hindi were listed as official languages. In the past, Indians generally regarded people who spoke fluent and idiomatic English as a symbol of high status. But now, most Indians advocate and like to say "HINGLISH" with Indian dialect or Indian accent. Although English is the official language of India, Indians have transformed English in their lives, turning authentic "English" into "HINGLISH". Now as long as you turn on any Indian TV channel, you can hear this kind of English-"Hinglish", which is very different from the authentic London accent or American English with a strong Indian accent and Hindi. In the past, Indians always liked to ridicule their relatives living abroad, saying that the English spoken by these "American-born confused country people" was not authentic and mixed with Indian accents. Unexpectedly, this "chaotic" English "HINGLISH" has become a fashion, which is widely popular in Indian society, from the street to the university campus, from TV advertisements to taxi broadcasts, although some of its statements have angered many parents of children. Su Bohan-Mukherjee, the planning director of HINGLISH's multinational company "Gongx * * India Company", said: "My grandfather's generation grew up thinking,' If I can't speak English correctly, I won't speak it', but now young people just want each other to understand what they mean and don't care if they speak English correctly." Sanjay Sipa Marami, the creative director of the company, added: "10 years ago, if someone spoke Hindi in perfect English, we wouldn't hire him because it was a sign of lack of education, but now it has become an advantage." In fact, long before the popularity of "HINGLISH", Indians had "reformed" English in their own way. In their mouth, "sexual harassment" has become "Eve-teaching" (Eve's teasing). HINGLISH in different regions is also full of local characteristics. For example, in Mumbai, people call men's "Mediterranean" baldness "an open-air stadium". In order to get better development opportunities, the upsurge of learning English in India is getting higher and higher, and English training schools are now blooming everywhere in India. In various workplaces in India, all kinds of monotonous and eccentric English emerge one after another. According to a recent estimate by David Crystal, a British linguist at the University of Wales in the UK, there are about 350 million people who speak Hint English, and India has a huge population, so in the near future, the number of people who speak Hint English is likely to exceed the number of people who speak Authentic English. Most Indians who go to western developed countries to engage in information technology speak English, and most of them can speak English.
