About Indian English
Indian English is a regional variety of English in the Indo-European, Germanic family, used across India in government, education, business, media, and everyday urban communication. Estimates vary, but it is commonly associated with several hundred million speakers when second-language users are included; a figure around 250 million is a reasonable broad estimate. It is written mainly in the Latin script and exists alongside many other languages of India.
A well-known feature of Indian English is the use of retroflex consonants in pronunciation, influenced by South Asian languages, along with locally established vocabulary and idioms. It is not a separate language from English, but a recognized national variety with its own norms and style. Indian English has a strong print and literary presence, especially in newspapers and in internationally read fiction and nonfiction by Indian authors writing in English.
