  For context, I grew up in the US with parents who moved here from India, so I'm wondering what others think about this. In my experiences with Indians, few seem to have a native understanding of a language with comprehensive vocabulary. It seems that many students take later science/math classes in an English-language school or university, for example, and so they use those words in English when speaking an Indian language. Colloquially at least in a city in India where some of my family lives, it seems like nearly every sentence includes an English word for something few would know the equivalent of in the Indian language. It's worth clarifying that I don't see this as a problem or limitation, but it can create difficulties with regards to English fluency.

    Well, a lot of languages around the world have the problem where somethings are just better said in English. Like router, internet, download.. Using their local variants is weird. Yes, Hinglish(Hindi English) is pretty common. I wouldn't vouch for the level of language control (of English)the majority of people have here in India, but, it's definitely improving..
