This article analyzes the study of character speech in Indian translation studies, focusing on its theoretical and practical aspects. In today’s era of globalization, preserving the uniqueness of character speech during the translation of literary works is of great importance. This is because a character’s speech is one of the key elements that conveys the artistic value of the work, its national color, and the author’s style. In Indian translation studies, the scholarly investigation of the concept of “चरित्र भाषण” (charitr bhāśaṇ)—that is, character speech—and the issue of rendering it accurately and naturally into another language remains a complex and pressing problem. The purpose of the article is to explore the study of character speech in Indian translation studies, to elucidate its theoretical and practical foundations, and to identify the factors that influence the accurate transmission of character speech in translation. In addition, based on the views of Indian scholars, the article examines stylistic, semantic, and cultural challenges involved in recreating character speech in literary translation and highlights the importance of preserving national color in translation.
