Indian English is the group of English dialects, or regional language varieties, spoken primarily on the Indian subcontinent.[1] Though English is one of modern India's two official languages, the other being Hindi, only a few hundred thousand Indians have English as their first language.[2][3][4][5][6] According to the 2005 India Human Development Survey, the surveyed households reported that 72 per cent of men did not speak any English, 28 per cent spoke some English, and five per cent spoke fluent English. Among women, the corresponding percentages were 83, 17, and 3.[7]
Indian English generally uses the Indian numbering system. Idiomatic forms derived from Indian literary languages and vernaculars have been absorbed into Indian English. Nevertheless, there remains general homogeneity in phonetics, vocabulary, and phraseology between variants of the Indian English dialect.[8][9][10][11] Nagaland is the only state in India where English is the official language.
