That means there are a lot of REALLY polite people out there not laughing at me (until after I leave) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Do you speak Englishes? #108908 07/31/03 03:34 AM Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 3,230 Te Ika a Maui sjmaxq OP Carpal Tunnel OP sjmaxq Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 3,230 Te Ika a Maui Well, the good news is that, despite the best efforts of everybody here, I have managed to find one reasonable site related to Indian English. It's not quite what I'm after, but it's not bad either. noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Do you speak Englishes? #108909 07/31/03 03:54 AM Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 477 Sydney, Australia H hev addict hev addict H Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 477 Sydney, Australia Oh yeah, JH, that's good.

You probably already know that, but maybe not. It is a spoken combination of Hindi and English that is used largely by the young/ students and the like (I think). Googling Hinglish, pulled up many sites and I have picked these at random. I have only looked at them cursorily; hope they are the kind that you want. Have also added the link to Hobson Jobson. http://dsal.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/hobsonjobson/ http://www.bibliomania.com/2/3/260/frameset.html http://www.the-week.com/23mar23/life2.htm Edit: jh, your post had me in splits; am still ROTFLMAO!

The Hobson Jobson dictionary link was exactly what I was looking for. If you ever come across a paper (published online) that examines Indian English, I'll snag that too, but for now, your dictionary link, and the "Indian Literature in English" page will do nicely. Thanks again. noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Do you speak Englishes? 101 not out #108913 08/03/03 11:51 AM Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 3,230 Te Ika a Maui sjmaxq OP Carpal Tunnel OP sjmaxq Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 3,230 Te Ika a Maui Thanks to all who made suggestions, my page has hit the ton. The Englishes section now looks pretty good, even including Niw Englisc, and I found a couple of interesting text repositories as well. Again, fa'afetai to all who helped. noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
