This is a blog created by students of the Universidade de São Paulo for a Language and Culture course. We have chosen to talk about Indian English as a variety of English largely spoken. We hope you enjoy the blog and comment on our entries!

Getting started...

There are many materials made available via internet which enable us to have a better understanding of English in India as a variety and as a "tool". We have here attempted to create a space where you will find academic papers on the matter, as well as videos from comedians; British Council conferences as well as Bollywood blockbusters; articles from India and other English-speaking countries as well as forums discussing different topics related to this variety.

Forums

a) Who’s learning Indian English?

In this forum there is a long discussion about the teaching of Indian English in the USA. Tension arises as one of the participants states that there is no use studying such a language for it is not the ruling standard. The debate goes on and also raises the issue whether Indian English can be considered a dialect of English.


b) Difficult time in understanding Indian Accents
