Masterstroke

I suspect you do not understand the term Race. The English are a Race. The French are a Race. A Race is a Nationality or Group based on Cultural Similarities and Shared Heredity... Example... a group of persons related by common descent or heredity. or a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race. or any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race. It is from the French 'Razza' meaning Lineage. To apply it to the Phenotypes of Humanity, Caucasion, Mongoloid or Negroid is a relatively recent diversion from it's original meaning. Although, Oddly Indians are Caucasion. Discuss.

I think this is not applies to all of the Indians, but generally to the northern Indians.

I suspect you are full of stinky shit. I don't agree with you on this topic Dave and will not pursue it any further with you.
I see, so Dictionaries do not feature much in your life then? How sad. Just because you disagree with something does not make it wrong. Sometimes the truth is just too hard for people to accept. I notice how quick you are to play the Race Card, and yet strangely, I have made no racist remarks, merely accurate ones.

Would you believe me if I said that this funny thing was the second link to the search term "hinglish" in google? :laugh:

Why don't we spice up your question with a hinglish answer? ;P 'Hinglish' -- a mixture of Hindi and English widely spoken in India may soon become the most common form of the Queen's language, according to a British expert. And as ancient as it can get: http://www.rediff.com/news/2004/oct/17hing.htm[^]
I am not sure Hinglish will be very popular, since it's essentially a sub-dialect of Indian-English which is now globally accepted as a distinct dialect of the language.

Why do I get the feeling that you're being a little too cheerful on this? :rolleyes:

I like both Hindi and English but I would rather that they stayed as separate languages than sprout something called Hinglish. That basically ruins both languages in one Masterstroke. :doh:

I have not heard Hinglish so I can't comment on that. But Indian English does not usually involve mixing in a local language. It just refers to the unique language usage we have in India, which includes expressions, phrases and semantics that would basically be ungrammatical in the rest of the English speaking world, but acceptable in India.

I had a look at the Chinese one the other day, and all the posters looked the same to me.
My wife will happily inform you that every Western actor looks like either Jack from Lost or one of the guys (she can never remember which one) in Prison Break. Except for Sean Connery, whom she recognises only when he speaks (her impersonation of him has me in stitches; imagine a Chinese girl doing Sean Connery doing a Russian admiral).
What makes the discussions even more interesting is that I've never watched Prison Break, and don't know who's in it.
