“Hinglish,” is spoken by 350 million Indians. A jumble of English and Hindi, Hinglish is often spoken in the same sentence -- as in, "I have hazaar things on my mind right now." (“I have thousands of things on my mind right now.”) Because it’s used mostly by urban youth, Hinglish is becoming more common in consumer advertising targeting young people.
