English language is a blend of Anglo-Saxon which is the prominent language of Britain in middle ages. It has been propagated to every corner of the world by colonists. English emerges as the most visible legacy of British in India because India was under British raj for almost two centuries and English is a part of education system here. Most of the states in India use their regional languages and do not have a common language to communicate. So English is used for inter-state communication.

LDC-IL has 25 hours Indian English - Bengali Variant speech data. The LDC-IL Indian English Speech data set consists of different types of datasets that are made up of word lists, sentences, texts and date formats. Approximately 15 minutes of speech (per speaker) has taken from 27 female and 26 Male from Bengali mother tongue speakers of different age groups.
