About The Book: "Indian English: An Examination of the Errors of Idiom Made by Indians in Writing English" is a scholarly work by George Clifford Whitworth, aimed at identifying and analyzing the common linguistic errors encountered among Indian users of English. Whitworth's study reflects the unique challenges faced by Indian speakers as they navigate the complexities of English idioms, which differ significantly from the structures of native Indian languages. Published during the era of British India, this book provides valuable insights into the process of language learning and adaptation, and highlights the impact of cultural and linguistic differences on language acquisition. Whitworth's work is crucial for understanding the development of Indian English as a distinct variant of the English language.
