Abstract

The English vocalized on the subcontinent has some typical features that puts it apart from other international varieties of English. These changes are as a result of a long period during which English was in constant contact with dialects spoken natively in India. As a result, the variety of English spoken on the subcontinent is frequently called as Indian English. This Indian English is unique, and this uniqueness should be valued and appreciated.
