That is intranslatable. Neither the words, nor the tone of voice can be reproduced in english. It would be like asking a deaf person about music

He speaks Molish.  That's short for Mostly English.  Even though he has a very strong accent, people who speak English are pretty much able to understand Molish the way speakers of Spanish may understand some Portuguese.

There are several reasons for this, first of all Yahoo is an international community that caters to different age groups and nationalities.  With respect to people whose first language is English, there are a lot of people actually who use this facility to learn and enhance their speaking and writing ability through web interaction.  Level of skills may likewise be in essence of priority and importance.  In some countries, English might not be used as frequently as the necessity for its use could be non-essential, although I think is a definite advantage.  In my country, English is learned through schools, interaction with other people, TV and through reading books, magazines and the like.  But does not ensure 100% compliance to grammar and sentence construction in the english context.  \n\nAnother reason would have to be technology.  As people nowadays speak shorter english and abbreviates words and sentences to relay their message (sms, etc) sometimes that habbit comes into play without the person realizing he/she has conveyed the message in a different format.  I am not an American or of English descent, but I think comparing to most English speaking countries, sometimes, we speak and may communicate in the english context at par or maybe better.

I really wonder if any Indian, critic or otherwise, said that, because English (printworthy) in India is pretty good.  And it was even better when the English were here.  Probably the English started understanding the reasoning behind why the Indians wanted the English out better when the Indians started speaking to them in their own language.

Yes you are exactally right, but english has become a required course for all grade schools, have you noticed how many indian folks have done well here in the US in busness and how well most of their chideren speak our language,they seem to have agood since of business and being from a poor part of our world they are good at managing their money.

It's better to have two languages spoken. It would be more conveinient if everyone knew how to speak english, but that's a long and hard task to teach many.

1) They want to spend time in an English speaking country. \n\n2) They want to communicate with English speaking people. \n\n3) They need it as a general platform for international communication between non-native English speakers. \n\n4) Communication within their native country is possible in English only (is the case in India, Philippines, Nigeria with their dozens of competing languages...)  \n\n5) They want to read English literature in original version.

because, we need english to communicate with other people and to learn. English is one of the most spoken languages! We learn, we speak, english is very important to learn.

English doesn't make sense, that's why.

That is simply wrong.\n\nDecisions on visas are made by trained consular officers. They, like all diplomats, are trained in foreign languages and all (or virtually all) speak one or two foreign languages well. \n\nBut the skills required to accomplish Government duties do not necessarily coincide with language learning aptitude. Few people can learn a hard foreign language well after puberty.\n\nFurthermore, Gujarati is scarcely a world language, and it has little value in commerce or government. The language of the law in India and Pakistan and Bangladesh is English. Hindi/Urdu are also used, and these are spoken by many diplomats.\n\nThere are hundreds of minor languages used -- and often the only language spoken by visa candidates -- in Asian countries, notably India, Pakistan, Philippines.\n\nFor this, there are local staff to work as clerks and translator/interpreters. Just as in a British court or your city hall, the official language of the visa office is English but every facility is offered to assist those who do not speak English, if that is humanly possible.\n\nHome-grown (i.e., non-British) Muslims do not make any decisions in any British diplomatic or consular mission anywhere. To say otherwise is simply rubbish. The Embassy staff at the U.K. High Commission (it is NOT an embassy) in New Delhi is British. No record is maintained of their respective races, but it is wildly improbable that they are not mostly white and Christian (or nominally Christian), like the rest of the UK diplomatic service.
