Indian English (IE) is a class of varieties of the English language spoken in India, and among the Indian diaspora elsewhere in the world.[4] English is used by the Indian government for some communication as a supplement to Hindi, the country's "official language of the Union", enshrined in the Constitution.[5] English is an official language of 7 states and 5 Union Territories and also additional official language of 7 states and 1 Union Territory. English is also the sole official language of the Judiciary of India, unless a state Governor or legislature mandates the use of regional language, or the President has given approval for the use of regional languages in courts.[6] Indian English originated from British English but is used by more people. In his book The English Language (1990) David Crystal observed, "British English is now, numerically speaking, a minority dialect, compared with American, or even Indian English."
