Introduction: Indian English is a vibrant and dynamic entity, shaped by the country's diverse cultural, social, and technological landscape. This paper explores the emerging trends and newly coined words in Indian English, highlighting the language's adaptability and creativity.

    In an age of digital hyper-connectivity, language is evolving at an unprecedented pace. This linguistic evolution is especially observable in the ways younger generations adapt and manipulate English in various socio-cultural contexts. In India, New Generation G—loosely defined as the demographic cohort born from the mid-1990s onwards and marked by their digital fluency—demonstrates a unique linguistic behavior. The members of this generation are not only consumers of global English but also active producers of new linguistic forms.
