Product Description

The Queen's Hinglish is a fun and fascinating look at Hinglish: a variety of English with elements of Southern Asian languages. Whether you're gora, desi, tik, or angrez, let Collins be your guide to the biggest, boldest language on earth.

This exciting title takes a light-hearted look at 'Hinglish', a variety of English combined with elements of Southern Asian languages. Widely spoken in India and the UK, and taking off round the globe via the internet and the Bollywood film industry, Hinglish is the latest and biggest story in the history of the English language.

Written with Collins Hinglish consultant, B K Mahal, this book features the best-loved and familiar terms, such as pukka and chuddies, and introduces the most up to date and novel. Packed with intriguing facts and stories, and illustrated throughout, this is a book which will charm and delight anyone who loves language. If you want to sort your badmash from your ranjha, then let Collins be your guide to the fastest-growing area of language change in English today.

My initial misgivings were soon dispelled when I found this to be an entertaining and thought out read. In that I mean, the book has words for us all. I didn't know that some of the words had direct links to Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi and considering I'm a word buff, I welcomed the chance of being put to rights. It's good to see that British Asians are making their mark in dictionaries too. What's better is that Collins can see and affirm the Hinglish contribution without getting to pedantic about it all.

Cool read - had to happed sooner or later.

Handy little dictionary for those of us who want or need to know what we say and when we should say it. So if you wanna be 'badmarsh' and try and empress the 'goras' at work,school,uni or wherever you happen to be, you can with the help of 'The Queen's Hinglish'.

No way to write an Anglo-Indian book without this one - or read one for that matter. Just wonderful. For reference or for fun. This is the one.
