  • Hindi and English Get a New Face as ‘Hinglish’ in India

You might have heard about Hindi and English languages. But, you may not have heard ‘Hinglish’ as any spoken in the world. However today, this new language is considered to be one of the most popular languages spoken in India.

Basically, the said language is a mixture of Hindi and English languages, i.e.

Hindi + English = Hinglish

According to a writer David Astle, the fused language is helping Hindi to get a bit more glorious and glamorous using the English words into it. Often in many advertisements you may see that instead of using pure Hindi language or phrases, the marketers now use some pop phrases from English language. This is done in order to attract their audience.

On the other hand, Mr. David also believes that the new language has helped English words to get a unique, fresh and fun meaning to them. Thus, it can be said that fusing English words into Hindi is not just making the latter glamorous, but also helping the former a great to read.

Here are some of the words from Hinglish language that you must know –
