will be too many variations around the world English is a victim of its own success The other day The Times in London displayed a cartoon showing an excited schoolboy flaunting his test scores I done good in English Days later editors of the Oxford Dictionary of English rued the spread of what they termed greengrocer s English Grammar and syntax they regretted were going out of fashion Others in England in the Oxford University Press the BBC and so on said the incorrect use of cliches were marring the smooth flow of a great language whose ability to imbibe and absorb has been one important reason for its success This success also stems from the language s unique position of being the only one spoken in most parts of the world Really English has no boundaries Even in countries such as Japan and China which were not colonized by Britain English is making a determined conquest Unfortunately such a conquest is not always welcome because a language sometimes doubles as a political weapon At some point it ceases to be just a means of communication and English is a classic example of this It has always led a troubled life It has been disliked even hated largely because the people who originally spoke English conquered colonized and terrorized half the world or just about The animosity to the language continues at least in some places The bitterness that the French for instance have for English is a good example of a language being giving a quasi political role in society Fortunately this aversion does not run as it did some years ago and there is a growing realization that English is the lingua franca China and Japan among a host of other nations have been making serious efforts to promote the language Some months ago there was a hue and cry in Singapore over the spread of terrible English which the authorities called Singlish Down with it they said and urged Singaporeans to learn correct English the phenomenal flexibility of which has often made things difficult for those who have to use it every day Today even university graduates find it hard to pen a couple of correct sentences in it More horrifying is that many teachers and university vice chancellors speak and write poor and ungrammatical English Often they are found to be out of touch with what is called usage and as we all know this is one of the pillars the language rests on Yet despite the mess that English is in India the nation has more than two centuries after Samuel Johnson wrote his English dictionary become the hottest destination for top lexicographers The new 10th revised edition of the Oxford Concise English Dictionary includes hundreds of Indian words Leading the list of 600 Indian English entries are Hindutva Hindu identity dada older brother panchayat local administration chai tea pani water puri a dish made of wheat and dosa rice pancake In fact Indian words from 20 per cent of entries and rank as the third largest component after American and Australian English segments Other former British colonies such as New Zealand South Africa and the Caribbean islands follow the Indian English collection of words English despite its hiccups is endearing to the common Indian man or woman About 150 years after Lord Macaulay introduced the language in India to create babus clerks for the British bureaucracy 70 million Indians speak English a number that is higher than that in Britain However there is a sneaking fear among Puritans that with this kind of spread English may stop being English While the French have fanatically preserved the purity of their language the English have liberally allowed other influences to affect their lingo So what is seen as its strength the fact that people all over the world understand it can be an undermining obstacle There might be a serious problem if every state or continent were to have its own version of English As one writer said There is a risk in relentless atomization With too many variations of the language a time may come when one group of English speaking people may not be able to understand another This is happening Hear the way Singaporeans speak English Listen to the Australians pronouncing e it sounds like a A few of the films made lately by British directors Ken Loach and Mike Leigh had to have subtitles in English Accents in the north of Britain can be hard for people in the south to understand let alone those outside the island The point is no language must be allowed such flexibility anything goes in the name of functional communication that people begin to take liberties with it Ultimately there may be no such thing as wrong English The schoolboy in the Times cartoon was doing just that He knew nobody would scold him for gettin
