	Hinglish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hinglish, a portmanteau of the words Hindi and English, is the arbitrary usage of Hindi and English, combining both, in one sentence.
		This is more commonly seen in urban and semi-urban centers of population, but is slowly spreading its root into rural and remote areas via television and word of mouth, slowly achieving vernacular status.
		Another factor contributing to the spread of Hinglish is the popularity of Bollywood films.

		The turning point that made Hinglish hip, say cultural observers, was the introduction of cable television in the mid-1990s.
		For the vast majority of Indians who have never studied English, and indeed, who may be barely literate, Hinglish is a foreign language that allows them to connect with their immediate world.

	IOL: 'Hinglish' heading for world domination
		New Delhi - Modern-day Indian English or "Hinglish", as the variety of English spoken in India is called, has a distinct time-capsule flavour, harking back to the days of the British Raj.
		Phrases that are dying out elsewhere remain in common parlance on the subcontinent, where "sleuths nab" their man, "miscreants abscond", youths engage in "tomfoolery" and politicians say their opponents speak "balderdash".
		Hinglish is coined from the collision of English and Hindi in the subcontinent where Britain was the predominant power for nearly two centuries.

		Long before anchors of MTV and Channel [V] began to speak in a combination of Hindi and English, Shobhaa Dé introduced Hinglish as a language in her columns and made it fashionable.
		Writing Hinglish was not just about being cool; it was about acknowledging that this was how Indians spoke English, not being embarrassed about it and actually giving it a media platform through her columns.
		Hinglish is perhaps Shobhaa Dé's biggest contribution to pop culture.

		Hinglish, the variety of English spoken in India, could become the most widely spoken language in the world, according to the glottologist David Crystal, who has written numerous books on the English language.
		So-called ‘Hinglish’ is spoken particularly by young Indians living in urban and semi-urban areas, thanks to the diffusion of English in most schools and the public administration, and through cable television and ‘Bollywood’ movies.
		Crystal recalled that approximately 400 million people, mostly living in the former British colonies, speak a variety of English as their second language, while approximately 700 million people speak English as a foreign language, albeit at quite a low level.

		The subcontinent of India is home to a host of genetically modified Englishes, some of which boast as many Speakers as the so-called English language itself.
