Colonisation has somewhat preserved elements aspects of English in our vocabulary in South Asia.

For example I almost never hear anyone on the anglosphere say "ta ta" but in Bangladesh it is a semi-regular part of our "goodbye speech"

Another such phrase is "Oil your own machine", I never hear it in the anglosphere.
