In "Hindi vs. Hinglish, Head to Head," scholar Ananya Vajpeyi traces the evolution of Hindi from its roots in Hindustani to the “Hinglish” of today, arguing that a language of 500 million people needs to develop a richer vocabulary of social science and self-confidence to stand up to English. To do this, she advocates an academy, much like the Académie Française, to stave off linguistic pollution. Article can be found here: http://www.worldpolicy.org/journal/summer2012/hindi-hinglish |
