Have at it! I am not Indian, but I'd like to think the subcontinent is happy to share.

"LANGUAGE, CULTURE, AND IDENTITY IN ST. MARTIN is intended to contribute to the language education discourse and provide some insight into how language and culture affect and are affected by identity in St. Martin. Exploring the basic syntactical structure of the St. Martin language, it aims to stimulate further and deeper studies leading to a new awareness of the nature of the language. Furthermore, the book could serve to provide a knowledge base from which the analysis of cultural, identity, and educational issues confronting the South and North of this Caribbean island can be made and understood."
"Many value #language purity over diversity and consider external influences a threat to the integrity of a language. But this is in contradiction to how language works" —Danica Salazar, OED
