Pakistan’s linguistic diversity and communication challenges are documented evidence of the country’s policy makers and practitioners for a decade’s plan of cultural harmony, regional stability, and linguistic autonomy. Besides, regional language users, national identity persuaders, and national integration into the global objectives of access to information for growth and good is made possible through the medium of communication. Its practice was seen in educational decisions in the past and its struggle for a nationwide networking is being witnessed in the period of COVID-19. The study is the result of almost 15 years old motivation to highlight the issues relevant for a phonological description of Goan Karachiites (GKs) speech of English. However, the framework is updated to absorb recent trends of global integration and communication challenges for a result-oriented academic deliberation. Its QUAL QUAN methods application is derived from phonological underpinnings to witness the divergence of English pronunciation of the GKs from Received Pronunciation (RP). The GKs English was reportedly non-RP, but intelligible on systemic phonological grounds.
