I have never heard of a thing called “Indian Standard English”, nor (as an Australian who has moved to India) does it sound a very realistic concept. Can’t find any search results for it as a phrase, either.
- dofm 4mo agoSometimes used as a term in linguistics. Put it in quotes: "Indian Standard English" and you will see plenty of results. https://www.google.com/?q=%22Indian+Standard+English%22 https://www.google.com/?q=%22Indian+Standard+English%22 https://www.jbe-platform.com/content/journals/10.1075/eww.24.2.02ers https://www.jbe-platform.com/content/journals/10.1075/eww.24... It doesn't mean a written standard exists. Maybe it's called Standard Indian English or just Indian English in other contexts; I'm only using a term I've seen used.
