On some new and unique words showing their faces in the local versions of a language put to use by varied ethnic or social groups..
-------------------------------------------------
In a language used for daily transactions by varied sets of people who handle other languages too in their day-to-day lives, such local modifications are sure to creep in.
Surprisingly, we see that even in a very classical language like Sanskrit. We can trace some newly coined words and usages according to the vernacular script or tongue of the region. The presentation in Sanskrit by a scholar in Kerala may have distinctive features if we attempt to compare notes with the presentations in the same language originating from Kashmir, Nepal, Uttarpradesh or even Tamilnadu.
In addition, we can ciit as examples some words in English coined in India that have become relevant universally too. Pundit, Cheetah, and hundreds of such words are examples.
Moreover, the Information Technology of modern epoch, has succeeded in introducing many new and cryptic words to English and, yes, to almost all other languages too.
