[@gauthamvadlamudi3500]

This actually demonstrated quite nicely, the actual characteristics of Indian English accent. It showed some of the common distinctive features of Indian accent. ________ The Indian English is primarily based on British English as British vocabulary, spellings and pronounciation rules were taught in schools predominantly. However, due to pop culture, TV shows, movies, American pronounciations and vocabulary has also creeped into Indian English making it a mixture of both, with additional influence from the mother tongue of the speaker. I would like to chart out as much as I can about Indian English accent in a broad manner: Common distinctive features of Indian accent -Like the simplification of sounds while pronouncing a word (to the extent where the meaning is conveyed and the word is distinct enough and it's uniqueness is not lost). Like simplifying unnecessary cosmetic features of foreign accent like dipthongs on case of simpler words. Example: "care" that's pronounced /kheia/ or /kheir/ in UK or US is pronounced as /ke-r/ (Replacing complicated dipthong /ei/ with simpler equivalent /e-/ and pronouncing the consonant sound /k/ cleaner and simpler without any stress or intonation). However, we retain the dipthong in the words where, that specific dipthong is required in that word, for it to be equivalent to the other pronounciations and simplifying it might make it sound totally like a different word, in which case, the dipthong is pronounced. Example: the word "pair" is pronounced as /pair/ and the dipthong /ai/ is retained as if it is simplified, it becomes a totally different sounding word like "pare" which is pronounced in India as "pe-r". This selective simplification of dipthongs Indian English actually eliminates many homophones, by alloting them distinctive pronounciation (yet familiar enough to a foreign English speaker, without alienating them). ----------------------------------------- --> the main reason for this, can be understood by the following exercise: As almost all the English words can be transliterated in respective Indian languages, and the in the process, when the transliterated English words in Indian languages are pronounced by an Indian native speaker (without making those words ambiguous or homophones), Naturally it simplifies the complicated sounds wherever they are unnecessary, and to convey the actual word distinctively. *If that specific sound is not present in the particular local language, then equivalent sound from that language is used often or even the exact sound from the British/American accent will be used. And the different dialects of Indian English arise from this similar transliteration process from respective languages and the nuances of pronounciation in those specific languages and pronounciation rules of those languages dictate the way in which those English words will be pronounced by that particular speaker having that particular regional language as their mother tongue, giving rise to different dialects of Indian English all across the states and the country. Since even local languages also have their own dialects in those respective states that is varying from region to region, based on the background of those people i.e., demographics and education, that additionally adds more complexity to the nuanced Variations of Indian accent everywhere in India. Also, it is common in many indian languages to pronounce every syllable of the words (when written) distinctively in pure form without any accent (of course following that specific pronounciation rules and intonations of that language). The Indian languages are syllable based where vowels are the base of the sounds and they are pronounced by themselves or when attached to the consonants (simple or mixed). Importance is given to the simplest syllable sound itself (in the written form of the sounds in those languages), but not the random pronounciation rules like in English where spelling and pronunciation can be miles apart sometimes. Hence transliterating English words, retaining their unique sound to the equivalent simpler version of those sounds is what is the fundamental make up of the pronounciation in Indian accent. Best way to understand Indian accent pronounciation is: It's very simple, as we'll just be pronouncing syllable by syllable in local language when written in its script, without any crazy arbitrary rules like in English, while speaking Indian Accent of English. ________________________ Coming back to the examples: Even in case of 'r' sound, we don't pronounce the "wr" sound as pronounced in many foreign English speakers, and keep it simple 'r' sound but clearer by rolling the 'r' sound twice may be (which is not so simple to the extent of the soft 'r' sound (without rolling it) as a Japanese person speaks, which might be misheard as /l/ or /r/ by different people). This type of usage of 'r' sound is also attributed to characteristics of that specific Indian language. Also, in some Indian languages, there are 2 types of "r" sounds, (twice rolling the 'r' and other with rolling the 'r' multiple times). Anyway the second type of "r" is not common and almost never used while speaking Indian accent of English. -- ------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------- GENERAL SOUNDS PRESENT IN INDIAN LANGUAGES: There are 2 or 3 types of 'l' sounds in some Indian languages as well. 1. Normal version As in "like" 2. With tongue rolled and touched to the back portion of the palate and pronounced. 3. Pull the tongue backwards, curl it forward and release air while curling it backwards. This is transcribed as /zh/ generally. This is kinda similar to /r/ sound in /car/ in American accent but prominantly sounds like 'l' sound. _______ Having so many sounds natively in most of the Indian languages makes it easier to transliterate and pronounce most of the English words, by an Indian language native, but with their own quirks. In Indian languages, for consonants, we have each letter for all those many sounds in English like : /k/, /g/ , /ch/, /j/, /t/, /th/, /d/, /p/ , /ph/, /f/, /b/, /m/, /n/ /l/, /r/, /s/, /sh/, /y/, /v/, /w/, /h/ etc. In all Indian languages basic pattern of sounds is as follows: 1.pure hard sound 2. Stressed version of previous sound (with puff of air) 3. Pure soft sound 4. Stressed version of previous sound (with puff of air) 5. Same mouth movement but resonance in throat. The alphabets or letters are sorted in such a way that, each row contains 5 versions of sounds (as mentioned before) that can be produced from same mouth-toungue movement, where the resonance point starts at the tip of the lips and progressively goes towards the throat near the fifth one. FOLLOWING ARE THE EXAMPLES: k - row: 1. /k/ as in flick 2. /kh/ as in kind (British) 3. /g/ as in gas 4. /gh/ ('g' sound with a puff of air) 5. Fifth sound not present in English. --- Ch - row: 1. /Ch/ as in church (American) Without releasing any puff of air 2. /Cch/ (stressed) as in Church (British) 3. /j/ as in jam 4. /jh/ (stressed) 5. Fifth sound not present in English. _____ T - row: 1. /t/ as in tank ( American) Without releasing any puff of air 2. /Th/ as in tank (British) 3. /d/ as in dark 4. /dh/(stressed) 5. /N/ similar to that if "know (British)" --- Th - row: 1. /t/ in thanks (American) Without releasing any puff of air 2. /th/ in thousand (British) 3. /d/ in Mother 4. /dh/ (above mentioned 'd' sound with a puff of air) 5. /n/ as in nine (American) ----- P - row: 1. /p/ as in pen (American) Without releasing any puff of air 2. /ph/ as in /pen/ (British) Different version /f/ as in /fan/ 3. /b/ as in bank 4. /bh/as in abhor 5. /m/ as in microphone ________________________________________ Apart from these, there are sounds for /y/ in yat /r/ , /l/, /v/ /s/ as in Sam /sh/ as in shock /s/ as in sir /h/ ____________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------- Another important characteristic is that: In Indian English accent, We just silent those letters in those specific words that are silenced universally, like "honest" where 'h' sound is silent almost in every English world wide. But we keep it simple and don't care to silence other letter like 'r' s or 't' s which are silent in some English accents but not all across the world like but, car etc , which vary between UK and US, and we just pronounce every letter. -------------------------------------------------------- Anyway the video was quite accurate, and I liked there is a video which portrays Indian English as it is with minimal confusion. And ofc it's nice that she touched upon the dialects of Indian English depending on the mother tongue or city of the speaker.

So we can differentiate between t with e is sound as taa and teh.

[@SenorSol]

Very fun video!! I'm a Brit who has been working on and off in India for many years, I love the differences in accents and pronunciation, especially 'Hinglishisms', which I think are quite endearing.

The "T" and "D" sound is called a retroflex. It's unique to the Indian subcontinent.

[@direnbhatsavesoil9628]

British "T" is combination of "ट्" and "ह्". Because it is a combination of 2 sounds, in Sanskrit, it can be considered a consonant. But it will not be added to the Sanskrit alphabet because "ट्" and "अ" combination is already there. All the consonants end with an "अ" sound because its 'the most basic sound'. It can be replaced with any of the Sanskrit vowel/consonant sound like "आ", इ, ई, र्, ह्, etc. All the combinations can't be in the Alphabet because than the number of alphabet will easily cross 200. Sanskrit is a very 'thought through' language. It aims to do include every sound, best writing systems for all these sounds, logical and regular patterns with least efforts. It has no dialects, accents for the same and changes to the language were only done by Scholars and learned people.

[@piankajung4585]

Most people of NE Indian states donot have this accent. They resembles more of the American accent as far I have seen. Foreigners probably think North Indian accent to be the only Indian one but it's different like in every region.

[@lokeshwaranvr]

Indian English accents change as per one's mother tongue (regional languages. E.g.: Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Gujarati, Punjabi, etc.). Just like she said, we also have metro accents that have more foreign influence along with his/her regional language, if a person is more into books then he/she is more influenced by British accent because British English is an official standard or if he/she is more into Hollywood movies then by an American accent. It sometimes doesn't matter and both are used interchangeably. In Towns and rural areas, regional languages have a huge influence as English is less spoken. Therefore, there is no standard Indian English accent.

[@shinjinibhattacharya800]

[@manasi1844]

Sanskrit is a mother language of English so Indian pronunciation is in fact correct one. English people mispronaunced many words and changed them. For example champoo is Indian word which changed to shampoo. Matru changed to mother. Pitru changed to father. Bhratru changed to brother. Sustru changed to sister. Gau changed to cow. Vamit changed to vomit.

So in my Indian accent I don't pronounce the R at the end of water or butter. I think it's different in different cities as well as depending on which schools you go to etc

[@namanlakhotia6393]

You do bro, everyone does. It's just that you've been asked by your school teachers to let go the r in the last and not pronounce it.

[@akshaysharma2]

@@namanlakhotia6393 Somehow with even a basic north indian desi accent (with all other sounds sounding the same as a standard Indian accent) I end up not pronouncing Rs at the end of a word sometimes. Water, river, butter, further, after, mother etc. . And I don't sound like an RP English accent speaker when I do that, just eliminate the R at the end of the word. Probably a legacy of my mother being educated at a convent school or people talking like that around me. I do notice that the previous generation of English speakers, especially from an elite background sounded closer to some sort of British English while continuing to be obviously Indian.

It’s funny how the Indian pronunciation is closer to how the word is spelt as opposed to the British way. According to the British accent, water is pronounced Wo-tuh, Butter as But-tuh, Open as Ooop-in, Thirty as Tuh-T 😅 She was kind of right how she said that the words are eaten up halfway 😅 And yes the accent varies across India. In the South, the local languages have a lot more consonants than the North Indian languages and hence the Southern Indian accent would have a lot more emphasis on the T’s, D’s, R’s, K’s and so on.

So the thing is that, in India we don’t have any clear cut boundaries between the languages, so it’s natural that people use their tones or accents from their natural language mixed into English, so that means we have dialects for English within different cities and states as well. Come to India, and you’ll surely find out for yourself!

[@lakshminarayan600]

Honesty it varies from person to person.It usually depends on what you're exposed to hearing.

[@ashie3815]

Indian accents depend upon where the person is from in India as well as the media they were exposed to while learning english. for example, if a person grew up watching american TV shows they're more likely to develop a more american accent. so it's not like someone is faking their accent just because they don't have the stereotypical Indian accent that a lot of foreigners think we have.

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

Actually, her accent is kind of different from Typical North Indian accent, but it's not same as south Indian especially from Tamil Nadu or Kerala. Her accent is more similar to mine which I speak. I'm from Andhra Pradesh btw. I feel Kerala has very distinctive accent because of its intrinsic intonations. Tamil Nadu also has a distinctive accent similar to which is also present in some parts of AP as well. But generally speaking, AP, Karnataka and Maharashtra have similar English accents, may be due to geographical influence of each language on one another making them take up similar approach towards pronouncing English. Of course there will be few minute differences between these as well. And obviously within every state also the accent changes from one corner to another. ______ It is very interesting to note there are few comments saying it is north Indian accent and few people saying it is South Indian. But I feel it's not as simple as 2 categories. I feel we can categorize Indian accents broadly, which are most distinctively identifiable, As follows: Coming from south, Kerala accent, Tamilnadu accent, different coastal accents, south central accent, Hyderabadi accent, Mumbai accent, Bengali-Odisha accent, central Indian accents, Rajastani accent, North Indian accent, Bhojpuri accent, Gujarati accent, Punjabi accent, haryanvi accent, Delhi accent, Northeastern accents, pahadi accents (sorry for the lack of better word) and Other versions of English accent of people having very thick accents of their mother tongue in their state. I might be generalizing some of them for simplicity to the best of my knowledge or (my ignorance of nuances). Forgive me if there is any mistake from my side. These observations are solely based on my interactions with my friends and acquaintances from different regions and my travel to certain places, and my own analysis. Let me know if there is anything interesting. I find such linguistic differences and similarities so fascinating. Looking forward to learn more about more things on the subject.
