Abstract: Mother-Tongue may affect a person’s learning of a foreign language. The way in which Mother-Tongue of an individual interferes with the target language is evident from his/ her incorrect pronunciation of certain words of target language. The inability to articulate some unusual sounds in the English language can be perceived as a consequence of the person’s being trained in another native language. For instance, those whose Mother-Tongue is Malayalam find it difficult to produce the phonetic sound /z/ in the English language as there is no /z/ sound in the Malayalam language. Likewise, there is a tendency to utter the sounds of the Malayalam language while producing English words. For instance, some people tend to introduce the Malayalam sound ‘ഴ’ in certain English words wherever ‘r’ is followed by an ‘s’ like brothers, sisters, purse and so on; but there is no such sound in English. To an extent, such mispronunciation of English language can be attributed to the influence caused by the Mother-Tongue. This study seeks to address the problems of students with their English pronunciation as an impact of their native language i.e., Malayalam. The necessity of proficiency in using the English language makes the study a relevant one in the current scenario of globalization. The English language, being a vehicle for technological advancement, offers manifold opportunities. It is, thus, suggestible to improve the English pronunciation of students so as to help them stay equipped with a good language proficiency, which is much needed for their career prospects.
