The different dialects used in India originated from the Austroasiatic and Sino-Tibetan dialect families.

The person asking must also look at and take into account the society of which the language is centered around. Lifestyles, beliefs, and the daily activities of those who speak the language in question must be taken into account. That thinking can differ depending on how a language is used.

Our first thoughts come to us only in mother tongue whether we learn second language through syntax or we acquire it by living in that environment. At embryonic stage of learning, we think twice, first in the mother tongue and then in the other tongue. Gradually we do not take much time in thinking. As we start thinking in second language, thoughts come inadvertently. In fact in this process of imbibing the second language we internalize syntax, phonology, morpheme of second language with the help of our knowledge of the mother tongue. The focus of the paper will be on phonological aspect of mother tongue and second language, by drawing similarities between the two. The second part of the paper will focus on syntactical aspect in language learning. At places structures of the mother tongue and the second language are parallel. There is difference in structure but it can be solved out very easily if we focus on sentence pattern seriously but more on practice of sentences. The third part of the paper will focus on morphological aspects of the mother tongue which aid in the learning of the second language because there is similarity in the use of affixes in of Hindi

Badal Sircar is one of the influential Bengali dramatists of the twenty first century. He was born in Calcutta and most of his plays revolve around Calcutta. In most of his plays he has recorded the turbulent period of Calcutta in 1960-70s. Sircar used the real space (Calcutta), the existing city rather than the fictional space. Calcutta is considered to be one of the largest cities in India. Even though the city seems to be economically well developed, most of the people suffer from poverty and overcrowding. Sircar’s letter to Richard Schechner, the founder of performance studies, describes the ‘city of alien culture’. He also opines that Calcutta is a city, both most loved and hated intensely.

A second language is known to be used by someone who wants to advance in a career area and require the second language or by someone who wants to adapt to a new country. The struggles of learning a second language in a country that only speaks the native language can cause difficulty to adapt. People from Mexico tend to only speak spanish, therefore it is not common for them to speak another language. A foreign language is a language that is learned in an area where that language is not generally spoken by the community as a whole. This essay will try to explain through the use of research why and how people learn English as a foreign language.

English usage in India ranges from more or less uniform (national variety) to mutually unintelligible varieties. A number of surveys show that Indians prefer to use and learn Indian English. They consider their English as “good” and “proper.” Also, empirical evidence shows that in North America, Indian English is more readily understood than even the BBC or British varieties. Five notable phonetic and phonological features of Indian English are as follows: (1) Lack of aspiration in the word-initial position: Words such as pin and Kanpur (name of city) are pronounced as pin and kanpur; not as phin and khanpur, respectively;

　　Many studies have been conducted to examine the language behavior of a specific ethnic group. Gibbons (1987) and Pennington et al. (1992) carried out empirical studies on investigating code-switching and code-mixing of HongKongers in different communicative contexts in Hong Kong and their attitudes towards language alternation. Pannu (1994) focused her research on Indian ethnic group in Hong Kong, which explored their language repertoire and perception of their language use. As Pennington et al. (1992, p.3) described, the ultimate goal of those investigations is “to model language choice” of different groups in Hong Kong by presenting their language use.

Although, there is no denying the fact that the folk theatre or what is critically known as the “traditional” theatre had given up the rigid and sophisticated methods of the Sanskrit theatre, yet it owed a lot to its predecessors in many aspects. Therefore in the present discussion, wherein the impact of the Indian folk drama on the contemporary writer will be examined, one cannot help reverting back to the Sanskrit or classical form of theatre as well. Sanskrit drama assumed a specific social setting, a steady, well-ordered universe in which everyone from the gods to the meanest mortals was in his or her allotted slot…Along with this court theatre there had existed other, more popular forms—more flexible, varying in their

In spite of our best efforts to promote Indian languages in all spheres of knowledge, it is still not feasible for us to replace English with Indian languages in every field. On the other hand, the importance of English and the use of English have increased manifold, if anything.
