Abstract:
Pakistani English, an institutionalized variation of English, developed as a result of language contact between English and the Pakistani language. One of the most notable features of this variant is the significant creativity in the lexis. In this study, based on Shah's, A Season for Martyrs (2014), and Mueenuddin's, In Other Rooms, Other Wonders (2009) the researchers explored the language's vocabulary through the lexical borrowings of single words and their assimilation in Pakistani English. They used qualitative content analysis method to analyze lexical borrowings of single items and their level of integration into Pakistani English, on a three-fold grade-ability scale, in the selected works. The study’s findings posit that Pakistani English frequently borrows lexical items from Pakistani languages either to fill the lexical gaps or to transmit various shades of meaning, which reinforces the notion that this variety has its own distinctive lexicon. In addition, the study endorsed the notion that Pakistani English should be considered an independent variety since it represents the linguistic and cultural characteristics of English speakers in Pakistan and is widely used in Pakistani Anglophone literature. Keywords. Pakistani English; Lexical Borrowing; Contextual Areas; Lexical Integration.

Abstract:
This study examines the lexical features of Pakistani English as used in the selected works of Pakistani Anglophone literature. Since English, in a linguistically and culturally diverse Pakistan, has become a Pakistani language. Therefore, one of the most important aspects of any claim for Pakistani English as a distinct variety of World Englishes is, clearly, the literary dimension, which this study explored, with the use of textual analysis method, in the selected works of four Pakistani Anglophone writers to ascertain its lexical features. The study highlights variety of innovative methods, such as borrowing, affixation, compounding, hybridization, loan translations, conversion, and archaism, used by the Pakistani Anglophone writers to express the Pakistani identity of their works, in a language compatible with their sociocultural realities. The study concluded that the English, albeit non-native variety has developed a distinct identity of Pakistani language, with facility and correctness of literary expression. The study’s results, thus, emphasize the demand for these lexical features to be codified in Pakistani English books and dictionaries. Keywords: Pakistani English; Lexical features; lexical borrowing; Pakistani Anglophone literature; Pakistani identity.

Abstract:
Bangladeshi literature in English is marked by several interconnected transitions. Beginning with the two hundred-year British rule in India, followed by the birth of the midnight twins, India and Pakistan, and the eventual independence of Bangladesh makes the position of English literature in Bangladesh a curious one. With nationalistic politics on the rise, the strategic interests in language as a cultural and identity marker shifted towards Bangla. The currency gained by the mother tongue is no accident as the birth of the new nation cannot be separated from its struggle for Bangla as a state language while under Pakistani rule. The literary culture in Bangladesh, thus, evolved in parallel with these changes.

Abstract:
Pakistani English (PakE) is an emerging variety of English that is in the process of developing its own norms and standards. Besides, distinguishing lexical and syntactic structures, it also has unique phonological features (Baumgardner, 1993; Hassan, 2004; Rahman 1991). Many Pakistani linguists have discussed unique consonantal and vocalic features of Pakistani English (PakE). However, there has not been any significant research conducted on the pronunciation of English velar nasal or angma /ŋ/ by Pakistani English speakers. This study analyses the pronunciation of English velar nasal by Pakistani English speakers. The sample was selected from 20 undergraduate students of the Department of English studying in the first semester of a large-scale public sector university located in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. A number of 20 English lexical items were selected and were divided into three categories according to the distribution of angma in the English language. The items were presented to the participants in diagnostic sentences. PRAAT, the speech and phonetics analysis software, was used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that Pakistani English speakers pronounce angma inaccurately in the medial position and insert velar plosive /ɡ/ in the poly-morphemic words. However, in the final position, angma is pronounced correctly by most Pakistani English speakers. The findings highlight that Pakistani English speakers are not concerned about the morpheme boundary and pronounce angma without /ŋɡ/ coalescence. Thus, it is found that Pakistani English speakers have distinguished pronunciation. The study recommends more research on Pakistani English pronunciation as well.

Abstract:
This research focuses on Pakistani Fiction in English as a useful tool for language learners to improve their language skills, understanding of culture, and intercultural competence. The discussion shows the vast cultural diversity and linguistic ingenuity evident in Pakistani anglophone texts, enabling learners to participate with authentic language use and get a deeper understanding of Pakistani society. This paper also examines the practical implications of introducing these texts into language classes, highlighting the need for context-based activities, critical thinking exercises, and discussions to promote language competency and cultural sensitivity. Overall, this study reveals that Pakistani anglophone texts offer a significant and underutilised resource for language learners mainly at the undergraduate levels, increasing linguistic competence, cultural appreciation, and cross-cultural communication skills. By combining these materials into the language curriculum, educators can give learners a more comprehensive and interesting language learning experience that represents the rich linguistic and cultural terrain of Pakistan. This paper also assesses the obstacles present in using Pakistani writings in English for language learning objectives. It concludes that the measure will go a long way in decolonising the English language curriculum in Pakistan while empowering learners not only linguistically but also strengthening their cultural identity. By embracing a decolonial perspective, educators may create a more inclusive, relevant, and empowering learning environment that prepares students to navigate a globalised world while honouring their local heritage.
