Hinglish: The Hybrid Use of Hindi and English
Hinglish refers to the macaronic language that combines Hindi and English. This language phenomenon involves code-switching or translanguaging between the two languages, freely interchanging words and phrases from one language to another within a sentence or between sentences.
History and Evolution
The term Hinglish was first recorded in 1967, and other colloquial portmanteau words for Hindustani-influenced English include Hindish, Hindlish, Henglish, and Hinlish. Hinglish is not limited to Modern Standard Hindi but is used in the Indian subcontinent and by British South Asian families to enliven standard English.
Computational Analysis
Hinglish has been the subject of research in computational linguistics and natural language processing. Various studies have developed models and algorithms to identify and analyze Hinglish in text and speech.
Users
Hinglish is widely used in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It is also used by British South Asian families and communities around the world.
