English in India varies significantly across regions. While much is made about the English that the Malayalee and Bengali speak, little is mentioned about the Bengaluru English that the Kannadiga speaks.
The Kannadiga English is unique. The manner in which the Bengaluru Kannadiga pronounces certain words can distinguishes him amongst most cosmopolitan crowds . Provided below is a sample list where the english word is accompanied by the word as pronounced in Bengaluru.
Principle-Prinicipal
Principal-Prinicipaal
College-Kaalej
Uncle-UnKal
Warm-Warum
Farm-Farum
Circle-Sarcal
Simple-Simpal
Now, Make Sentences !!
The Kannadiga lives life by principals that he learnt at kaalej under the tutorship of his prinicipaal. In winter, he likes to keep warum by eating hot potatoes grown by his unkal at his farum ! That was simpal.
