English a WORLD Language or more precisely a UNIVERSAL language is the highest used language in our campus. This language acts as a communication media or a link between teachers, students and staff belonging from various backgrounds, cultures, different diversities etc., As per recent survey conducted in the campus, reveals that English is most utilized language to express feelings among the individuals in and around the campus. Even our college has adopted the English as the medium for imparting lessons and knowledge.
This GenNext college i.e. CHRIST COLLEGE has it’s own style, attitude, preferred words and most importantly it has originality in it’s slang too, called “CHRISTITE’S LANG”, which itself is a very different entity prevailing in Bangalore.
Slang words are very frequently used while conversation between students. They pose ease for better communication and expressing their views and perspectives. Also, the foreign culture and accent has more influence in altering the words more than the meaning.
For e.g.: usage of HEY, instead of HI; BUDDY/DUDE instead of FRIEND; WAZZUP? Instead of HOW ARE YOU? and such.
These slang are surely nice to hear and nice to use, but definitely does not help in improving the dialect. And, moreover, these students have the most spectacular way of using a SINGLE WORD to express as many as feelings they can try to express. PHEW!!! Amazing…
Still, our mother tongue also has very important role administering on our dialect i.e. our accent and pronunciation. According to our college statistics department survey, it reports that 40 languages have been spoken in the campus. Students tend to use suffixes of their particular mother tongue, while speaking English.
For e.g.: Telugites use ‘RA’; Tamilians use ‘DA’ as suffixes for words in English.
And, the best influence and usage of their mother tongue in English language, are by the dominating community in ‘Krisht Kolllleege’…. and YES, you have guessed them right, the very famous “MALLLOOOO’S”. They altogether give a new life to English language, by pronouncing them in a very beautiful and superb accent.
I remember an incident, when my friends and me were having some snacks near the college kiosk; a malayalee friend of mine casually asked another “Hey Rajesh, do you wanna banj?” I was totally confused, as I didn’t understand that. Another friend said, “It’s not banj, but it’s PUNCH”. Having understood then, we all burst out in laughter. This habit of wrong pronunciation may result in embarrassment and inferiority complex too.
Back to the topic of Preferred words, where most of the students have a tendency to prefer those words, which have double meanings. This may be fun to them, but it will be the most disgusting words to hear for others in the TEMPLE of Learning.
Although, these variations and differences in English language in our college campus… Christ College still ‘ROCKS’.
