Abstract
In this research work, we discuss class characteristics in English handwriting of people from Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. The subjects had primarily studied in their local language, with English as their second language. The regional handwriting samples from 750 subjects were collected randomly in the age group between 18 and 60 years and their class characteristics such as writing movement, formation of letters, letter designs, pen-lifts, letter size, artistic ability, letter spacing and embellishments were examined Several characteristic features peculiar to the individual linguistic groups were identified and the impact of the regional language script writing system was observed on the English handwriting of almost all the subjects.
