Abstract
Punjabi and English are the languages that does not belong to the similar family. For instance, English belongs to the West German languages while Punjabi is a part of the Indo Aryan family. Regional languages have an impact on English in this borrowing and code-mixing process because borrowed words go through a make-up caused by phonetic features of the regional languages. In India, English is the medium of media, science, and technology & its influence on the native languages of the country is significant. This study shows how the regional dialects of the country have a significant influence on the way English is pronounced. It is an effort to define the phonemic changes in Punjabi and Indian English. The purpose of this study was to see if the sound pattern of Indian English varies depending on the speakers’ native languages or if it is the same irrespective of the speakers’ native languages and also to identify words that differ in pronunciation from Standard English and are clearly marked by an influence of the first language of the native Punjabi speakers of India.
