Abstract

Indian English (IE) is a variety of the English language spoken in India and among the Indian diaspora elsewhere in the world. English is used by the Indian government for communication as a supplement to Hindi, the country’s “official language of the Union” enshrined in the Constitution. English is an official language of 7 states and 5 Union Territories and also an additional official language of the Judiciary of India, unless a state Governor or legislator mandates the use of regional language, or the President has given approval for the use of regional languages in courts.
