Is English popular in India?

Boss, I'm glad you're anonymous, hehe.

English is the official language of India.

Hindi is one of the two official languages of India (the other being English). It belongs to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family, and is a modern Indo-Aryan language developed from Old Sanskrit. It is distributed in the districts of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Haryana and other regions in central and northern India.

With more than 200 million speakers, it is the most spoken language in India. In addition, there is a significant number of people of Indian origin who speak Hindi in Mauritius, Fiji, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, etc.

There are 5 major dialects of Hindi, namely West Hindi, East Hindi, Bihari, Rajasthani, and Hill Hindi. Each of the major dialects has a number of dialects. The basis of the standard language is the Kerrigori dialect, which is spoken in the vicinity of Delhi and Merat, which is a West Hindi.

Don't Indians speak Hindi?

Wrong, they have a lot of dialects.

Why are so many ordinary people in India so good at English?

The Indians at the bottom don't speak English, like drivers, small workers, etc.

Is their schooling English or Hindi spoken?

The school is taught entirely in English, and many students in a school have different native languages, so everyone can only speak English. It's like we all speak Mandarin at school.

Isn't China also taught from a young age? Aren't all good at English?

In China, it is taught from a young age, but only English is taught in English classes, unlike in India, where all classes are in English, and the language used is English. We still use Chinese a lot. That's why our English is inferior to theirs.

India was once a British colony and ruled for almost two hundred years. It's normal to speak English well. And their official languages are Hindi and English, so English education is "from a young age".

India is a British colony, by the British Empire from the gradual encroachment to the complete annexation, affecting India for hundreds of years, don't you see many English original books are the shadow of Indian maids, really because of the deep-rooted influence of English on India, it is not difficult to understand that the Indian middle class is proficient in English, and English and Hindi are both the official languages of India, learning English is from a young age.

Not everyone in India can speak English, you only see the middle class and intellectuals in India, and the infrastructure in India is still relatively weak, not so widespread that everyone is proficient.

When India was first established, it was Chinese Hindi (that is, Hindi, the largest dialect of India, popular in the north), and later the Tamil and other ethnic groups in the south thought that this was very unfair to them (such as exams, promotions, etc.), in view of the fact that India has accepted British rule for many years, many people can speak English, so it is required that English should also be set as Chinese, otherwise independence will be declared. In desperation, India had no choice but to make English its Chinese language, albeit with a strong colonial streak.

Learning English is a basic education for Indians, and both English and Hindi are taught from an early age.

Let's not forget that India has been a British colony for so long.

Each country has its own language.

It's not good if it's not popular if it's not popular.

India has a large number of ethnic groups and a very complex number of languages, some several hundred, 1,652 according to 1961 statistics, 29 languages spoken by more than 1 million people and 122 languages spoken by more than 10,000 people, mainly belonging to two major language families: the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family (spoken by about 70 per cent of the population) and the Dravidian language family (spoken by about 22 per cent of the population), In addition, there are some languages belonging to the Sino-Tibetan language family, the Tibeto-Burman language family and the Austronesian language family, as well as some other isolated languages.

The main official language of India is Hindi, the second official language is English, and the Constitution of India stipulates that "the official language of the Union shall be Hindi in the Devanagari alphabet".However, there is no law that provides for an official national language.

During the period when India was ruled by the British, the administrative units could only use English, and it was very difficult to choose a local official language after India's independence in 1947, although Hindi was designated as the official language of the ****, but no more than 40% of the people in India actually spoke Hindi as their mother tongue, and people who use other languages, especially in the southern states, it is very difficult to learn Hindi, so each state determines its own official language. However, due to the need for a uniform language in higher education, which has created difficulties for students to learn, a progressive language teaching method is now being introduced in various states.

Since 2007, the Unified Entrance Examination for India's 15 most prominent universities has changed its approach to the paper, which is still only available in two languages (Hindi and English), but allows students to answer questions in one of the following languages: English, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Sindh, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.

The main languages of Hindi include Hindi and Urdu, among others. South Indian languages are mainly Tamil, Telugu, etc. The languages spoken in Northeast India mainly include Naga and Mizo.

In the central region of India, there are mainly Santal, Munda and so on. There is also the Andaman language, which is prevalent mainly in the Andaman Islands.

Hindi and its analogue languages are written in the Devanagari alphabet, several languages such as Urdu, Sindhi and Kashmiri are written in the Arabic alphabet, and other languages have their own written alphabets.

Indian English and British English pronunciation are different.

Indian English has a heavy accent and fast speech speed, and the consonant r trills sound difficult to understand at first glance. Another major feature of Indian English pronunciation is the simplification of the tongue-biting sound th in standard English to t. Moreover, the sound of t pronounced by Indians is close to the sound of d.

So the Indians themselves joke about this pronunciation feature, when they say, "I'm 30 years old" (iamthirty), it sounds like "I'm a little dirty" (iamdirty), because the pronunciation of thirty (thirty) is confused with dirty.

While the British English "r" is not pronounced, it is important to know that most English speakers do not curl their tongues when pronouncing the r (except for those from Scotland, Normen, Sembia, Northern Ireland and parts of Lancashire), but not all British accents are the same.
