how to write the speech of a non English speaking character in an English novel. (If, for example, I am to include a rustic character or even an urban character in India not very familiar with English but who talks in any vernacular, how interesting or boring is it for a reader to have references to his native language in my English novel? It's been done with many European characters with French, Italian and Spanish. Poirot comes to mind instantly. How does this work for Indian languages without introducing some awkwardness?)
