学中文还不够英国开学又开印度英语课

Portsmouth College said Hinglish in turn was the fastest growing language on the South continent.

朴次茅斯学院表示，印度英语是南亚大陆上发展得最快的语言。

"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.
