English as a National Foreign Language
India has two national languages for central administrative purposes:
Hindi and English. Hindi is the national, official, and main link language of
India. English is an associate official language. The Indian Constitution also
officially approves twenty-two regional languages for official purposes.
Dozens of distinctly different regional languages are spoken in India,
which share many characteristics such as grammatical structure and
vocabulary. Apart from these languages, Hindi is used for communication in
India. The homeland of Hindi is mainly in the north of India, but it is spoken
and widely understood in all urban centers of India. In the southern states of
India, where people speak many different languages that are not much related
to Hindi, there is more resistance to Hindi, which has allowed English to
remain a lingua franca to a greater degree.
Since the early 1600s, the English language has had a toehold on the
Indian subcontinent, when the East India Company established settlements in
Chennai, Kolkata, and Mumbai, formerly Madras, Calcutta, and Bombay
respectively. The historical background of India is never far away from
everyday usage of English. India has had a longer exposure to English than
any other country which uses it as a second language, its distinctive words,
idioms, grammar and rhetoric spreading gradually to affect all places, habits
and culture.
In India, English serves two purposes. First, it provides a linguistic tool
for the administrative cohesiveness of the country, causing people who speak
different languages to become united. Secondly, it serves as a language of
wider communication, including a large variety of different people covering a
vast area. It overlaps with local languages in certain spheres of influence and
in public domains.
Generally, English is used among Indians as a ‘link’ language and it is the
first language for many well-educated Indians. It is also the second language
for many who speak more than one language in India. The English language is
a tie that helps bind the many segments of our society together. Also, it is a
linguistic bridge between the major countries of the world and India.
