"Films are being watched by a lot of Indian people and right from the titles to the script, everything is in Hinglish," teacher Viraj Shah explained.

该校老师维拉杰·沙解释说：“很多印度人都看电影，从片名到字幕，用的都是印度英语。”

James Watters, a department head at the college, said: "It's great to hear that our future generation of workers are taking into account things that are happening around us."

该学院的一名系主任詹姆斯·瓦特斯说：“得悉我们的下一代劳动人口能感知我们周边正在发生的事情，很令人欣慰。”

He said the course would make them "socially aware and better prepared for situations they may be faced with."

他说，这门课程能让学生们“对自己可能要面对的社会形势有感知并做好准备。”

According to Collins English Dictionary, a number of common English words have in fact been influenced by Hinglish. These include the words "shampoo", from the Hindi word for massage or knead; "cushy", which stems from the Hindi word for pleasant; "cot" which originates from the Hindi word for hammock or bedstead; and "thug" from the Hindi word for cheat or thief.

根据《柯林斯英语词典》，不少常用的英语单词其实都受到了印度英语的影响。这其中就包括单词shampoo（洗发香波），这个词原来是印度语，意思是按摩或揉捏；单词cushy（轻松的）也源自印度语，意思是“愉快的”；单词cot（简易床），在印度语中的意思是吊床或床架；还有thug（暴徒），在印度语中的原义是欺骗或偷窃。
