I think every assamese understands basic bengali language . Nepali language was fun learning when I was in junior college made a lot of assamese nepali friends there, hindi and english is like most Indian learns at school, through entertainment.

The swallowing of "e" sound in "camera" in American accent is known as vowel reduction, where unstressed syllables' vowels get weakened into a "neutral vowel" or what is known as a "schwa". English as spoken in native Anglophone countries tends to be spoken stress-timed. Indian languages tend to be spoken syllable-timed, so English in India also ends up being spoken that way. Therefore, Indian accents would render "automatic" as enunciated "awe-toe-mah-tic", while American accounts would render it as "awet'maht'c".

[@masoncrowley2777]

Of course, us Americans practically pronounce "T's" as "D's." That is an obvious difference that does not pertain to what your comment focuses on, but I think it is important to mention.

Not sure about South Indians having a neutral accent unless they are working for a process that requires theme to have an accent neutralization. The accent will have strong mother tongue influence. Almost all people from respective states will have some mti, you should rather talk to someone who is from south india itself or north.

[@debraj-kayal]

In East India, we talk normally. There is no forced accent. That's flipping it. Maybe we use the American accent sometimes with the British grammar. And as far as I have heard people from South India usually go hard on 'r' sound, but I don't know much about it. I think we have the second highest number of English speakers in the world, may be the first because I am talking about a very old cencus which does not even consider anything other than their mother tongue even if they are English scholars like Dr. Shashi Tharoor.

[@arghyachatterjee3008]

Indian English has several different accents - Each four regions have underlying variations. Simply by listening to the Indian English accent of people, Indians can sometimes predict, which part of India they are from.

[@beautiful_sky111]

Even local dialects get intermingled with English into the accent.

[@tarass8737]

Actually the accent demonstrated on big bang theory was a south indian accent because that's the most familiar to Americans because of the demographic that goes to America majorly, atleast in the time that this stereotypical voice evolved. Also, the actor Kunal Nayyar is south indian, and he plays south indian. The appu accent is also inspired by the southern indian English accent. Its because the languages have a very different tone in the south. A north Indian doesn't sound like that at allllll. A north Indian would sound very different and i can't really compare to any other accent because it's very different and southern indian accent sounds nothing like a Latin American accent, shows how little this woman truly knows about Indian accents. This girl sounds more like a north Indian but a proper north Indian who was raised in india alone would have less of the American accent she has in her speech and it would be slightly slower and the words will be pronounced with a little more enunciation. Although, a Punjabi person who mostly speaks Punjabi and has a strong Punjabi accent will have a very different accent to most other North Indians. The eastern and north east indian accent become very different again. I don't think a person who grew up all over the world but india can really tell you how indians speak.

[@asifhussain700]

Although we indiand are adapting to any sort of language nowdays, we can manage to speak in any accent in a second compares to most of people on this planet, on the top of it the only key difference between indian accent and us or uk that we stress on certain words more than any other words like read hard for instance. R we say like Rrr, o like oooo, t like taa, or teee, la like laaa so basically wr make more stress on certain words may be because we used to how our native language hindi we delivers.

[@knowledgehunter_]

It's not about the rolling R. Callie didn't catch the T pronunciation. It's true that Indians don't pronounce wader, but they don't pronounce water(British way of T). Indian t is slightly different.

You're right, not hard at all. Does it matter if their first language is Indic or Dravidian? Yes, very much. A Hindi speaker speaking English sounds very different from a Tamil speaker speaking English. Both the accents have distinct features.

Yup it changes a lot we also have another language family called "Indo-tibetan/Sino-tibetan" these are spoken in Ladakh and northeasterner part of our country. People speaking English from this part are more likely to have an accent that is more closer to American accent.

One of the few times my northeast accent come out is when I pronounce 7 in Hindi, and North Indian people think I am saying 60 instead of 70.

Even my Assamese and Bengali friends pronounce 'bada' as 'bara', it's cute though. And I hope you are having a nice time here in North, btw which state/union territory are you in?
