'''Inglish''' term is refer to [[Indian English|Indian English language]] . The first occurrence of the term ''Indian English'' dates from 1696,<ref>J. Ovington, '''1696''' ''A Voyage to Suratt, in the Year, 1689'', p. 326.</ref> though the term did not become common until the 19th century. In the colonial era, the most common terms in use were ''Anglo-Indian English'', or simply ''Anglo-Indian'', both dating from 1860. Other less common terms in use were ''Indo-Anglian'' (dating from 1897) and ''Indo-English'' (1912).<ref name="ReferenceA">James Lambert, '''2012''' "Beyond ''Hobson-Jobson'': Towards a new lexicography for Indian English", ''English World-Wide'' 33(3): 294.</ref> An item of Anglo-Indian English was known as an ''Anglo-Indianism'' from 1851.<ref name="ReferenceA" />

In the modern era, a range of colloquial portmanteau words for Indian English have been used. The earliest of these is ''Indlish'' (recorded from 1962), and others include ''Indiglish'' (1974), ''Indenglish'' (1979), ''Indglish'' (1984), ''Indish'' (1984) and now ''Inglish''

During the [[British Raj]] (1858 to 1947), English-language penetration increased throughout India. This was driven in part by the gradually increasing hiring of Indians in the [[civil services]]. At the time of [[Partition of India|India's independence]] in 1947, English was the only functional ''[[lingua franca]]'' in the country.

[[Hinglish]] is a portmanteau of the languages [[English language|English]] and [[Hindi]]. It is totally defferent from Ingish. This typically refers to the [[Macaronic language|macaronic]] hybrid use of Hindi and English. It is often the growing preferred language of the urban and semi-urban educated Indian youth, as well as the Indian diaspora abroad. The Hindi film industry, more popularly known as [[Bollywood]], incorporates considerable amounts of Hinglish as well. Many internet platforms and voice commands on Google also recognise Hinglish.

Other macaronic hybrids such as ''Minglish'' ([[Marathi language|Marathi]] and English), ''Manglish'' ([[Malayalam language|Malayalam]] and English), ''[[Kanglish]]'' ([[Kannada language|Kannada]] and English), ''[[Tenglish]]'' ([[Telugu language|Telugu]] and English), and ''[[Tanglish]]'' or ''Tamglish'' ([[Tamil language|Tamil]] and English) exist in South India.

In the colonial era, the most common terms in use were Anglo-Indian English, or simply Anglo-Indian, both dating from 1860. Other less common terms in use were Indo-Anglian (dating from 1897) and Indo-English (1912).[5] An item of Anglo-Indian English was known as an Anglo-Indianism from 1851.[5]
