Pakistani English: phonology Conclusion

In this paper we have attempted to provide a brief overview of the history and phonology of PakE. However, the description of PakE phonology is far from being thorough. This is partly because no detailed studies of PakE phonology are currently available. In order to compensate for this gap, this paper provides a phonological analysis based on a small language sample. Research in World Englishes in general and Indian and Singaporean English in particular has shown a richness of sociological markings within varieties of English. PakE, as a living language, displays such variations as well. However, these variations have not yet been investigated. We hope that this paper will motivate linguists to explore these variations and study PakE in more detail.
