Indian English

Hinglees (Indian English) An article in Spectator on Indian English has entertained many, and offended some. It deals with the particular brand of English spoken by the city-bred in India (Example: "I will intimate you" to mean, "I will notify you"). The following are my pet Hinglish axioms Self-suicide (suicide) Cousin-brother (male cousin) Compound-wall (that wall around the house) Pre-pone (opposite of postpone) Co-brother (brother-in-law) See Also: • Understanding Indian English and trouble with writing Indian terms in English language.
