Shirin Saleem

This talk describes the influence of two factors - native tongue and medium
of instruction in school - on the pronunciation of English words by native
Indian speakers. Eight speakers of two Indian languages - Bengali and
Kannada, were compared on the basis of the above 2 factors, and the major
patterns in pronunciation were noted. This project was done for the Speech
II class.
