Yes. There are at least six varieties of Standard English: American, Australian, Canadian, English, Indian and Scottish.

To say its only the accent which makes it Indian English. If you speak the same words as you speak in standard English, it doesn't matter. So practically there is no Indian English language.

Wolf5370: Sorry must dissagree - Indian English is not just an accent - it differs quite considerably in tenses. Indian English allows present continous in place of simple present, "'I am understanding it""He is knowing the time" instread of "I understand it"/"He is knows the time" for example. There are many other grammatical differences too. The inclusion of Hindi words are common - especially when numbering - use of lak for ten thousand, for example.

English is a very forgiving language, hence the number English varieties, and as long as real English words are used, it can often be understood across dialects.
