| The ethnic affinity of the Kerala migrants is assessed as against the operation of the dialectic processes of nativisation and localisation in a migrational setting. |
| Abstract Nativisation is the linguistic readjustment that a language experiences at the phonological, grammatical and lexical levels due to the influence of local languages. |
| Generally, how a word sounds or what it means are the important issues in grammatical nativisation. |
| The aim of this section is to situate our experimental results in nativisation in order to define the status of English in present-day Malaysia. |
| A long interaction of English and the indigenous languages has led to the nativisation or indigenisation of English in Nigeria. |
