Regional Effect On Language
Indianism
Indianism are speech errors caused when we
translate directly from the mother tongue into
English . Direct translation often leads to miscommunication. When translating from the primary
language to English , the context could be lost and
the consequences could be disastrous!
Common Errors In Speech
Indian speakers are comfortable responding to
questions such as “What is your good name?” ( as a
literal translation from Hindi “ Aap ka shubh naam
kya hai?”) However native speakers would be
confused with such colliqual speech,and wonder
whether they have a bad name as well?
Common Grammatical
Errors
Other errors occur because of the difference in
grammar and sentence construction between
English and native Indian Languages.
Incorrect: Where you are going today?
Correct: Where are you going today?
Incorrect: Are you liking Indian food?
Correct: Do you like Indian food?
