Average Indian English Vs Standard English

Описание: Indian English differs from British English primarily in pronunciation and vocabulary, though both share foundational grammar. Indian English often has a unique accent due to local linguistic influences and may use more formal or a different set of vocabulary and idioms influenced by Indian culture and languages. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
You can watch this video to learn about the pronunciation differences between Indian English and British English:
Pronunciation

• Indian accent: In Indian English, sounds like 't' and 'd' can sometimes be similar. The 'th' sound is often pronounced as 'd', and the 'r' sound might be rolled or have a 'ra' sound.
• British accent: Standard British English has its own distinct sounds, and there is significant variation within the UK itself (e.g., English English, Scottish English). [3, 4, 6]

Vocabulary and expressions

• Formality: Indian English can be more formal, using phrases like "May I ask you a question, please, Sir?" instead of the more casual "Can I ask you a question?".
• Unique terms: Indian English incorporates local slang and unique expressions that reflect Indian culture, and it also uses a mix of British and American vocabulary, such as "highway" (American) instead of "motorway" (British).
• Grammar differences: While the grammatical foundation is the same, some differences exist in usage. For example, Indian English may use the passive voice more frequently and place words like "also" at the end of a sentence more often. [1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9]

Spelling

• Consistency: Indian English largely follows British spelling conventions, which can differ from American spelling (e.g., "colour" vs. "color"). [10]

This video discusses the differences in spelling between American and British English:
Cultural context

• Influence: The differences are a result of India's colonial history and the subsequent evolution of English in the Indian context, leading to a unique blend of influences.
• Regional variation: Within India, there is a lot of regional diversity, and this influences how English is spoken. [1, 3, 4, 6, 11]
