This study has been undertaken to investigate the existence of English Language on the tongues of Hampi dwellers. While an exhaustive study is conducted on English language acquisition for academic and professional purpose, there are no traces on how English language is picked by laymen in a natural setup. Hampi is one such place for study because Hampi speaks English. From vendors to the home stays every local man manages to communicate in English. As the proverb goes ‘Necessity is the mother of invention’ Hampi people for their livelihood, in order to sell their goods and services to the tourists, local Hampi dwellers picked English in spoken terms.
