  • Below are some excerpts from Indian and British English: A Handbook of Usage and Pronunciation, by Paroo Nihalani, R. K. Tongue, and Priya Hosali (Oxford University Press, India, 1979, 3rd impression 1987, pp. 260, ISBN 0 19 561864 5, Rupees 50, £3.95). Of this work, the Indian Journal of Linguistics says: ‘It is invaluable as a handy reference book and should take its place on the reference-shelf of all Indians’, while The Hindu (Madras), calls it ‘an invaluable guide to those interested in the English language’. We endorse these comments.
