the thing he's trying to show is that we indians say the sounds fully, like the R sound is actually pronounced unlike other accents, similarly with other sounds. this is mainly because most Indian languages have an entirely phonetic vocabulary. the way we write is exactly the way we say it

So many people think they don’t have an accent because the way their community talks is just “normal” to them. Everyone has an accent because an accent is just a local way of speaking. Accents are beautiful and people should be proud of them (except Australians of course).

that’s the thing though, the Indian English accent is actually not intelligible… I grew up with immigrant parents who weren’t native English speakers so I can make out broken English accents and understand them better, but for someone who strictly spoke English with an American accent household, I can see how it is incredibly hard for them to understand

It is an accent because everyone speaks with an accent, even in their native language. It is just their localized accent, which will sound like the default to them. Everyone in this video was easy for this American to understand. Anyone who is mean to someone for having an accent they find difficult to understand probably needs to travel to a different country and learn to speak in a different dialect or language in order to learn some humility and empathy.

I'm Indian, and yes it is an Indian accent. An "Accent" in this context is when the phonic muscle memory (unconscious tongue movements) of a first language, carries over to a second language. That is true for English speakers in India, Vietnam, China, Japan, or any other country. Because in Goa, I grew up speaking only English (my only fluent language), I don't have much of an accent. But that isn't a flex, the flex is most Indians are tri-lingual and above.

There's more than 1 Indian accent as well.

It didn't speed up nor change pitch easily.

Why not talk this English in India and stay there as well.

Americans have their own accents. We have the Midwestern accent, New Jersey accent, Southern Accent, etc. The American Midwest accent is the easiest English accent to understand. I have a lot of difficulty understanding Indian accents seeing how i deal with it anytime i call customer support

While a lot of Indian people in India speak English very well, their English is very different from how other countries that speak English talk. It’s all dependent on cultural and linguistic background. In Australia, the UK, the US, Canada, and for example Singapore, a lot of people speak the same “standard English” and all have different accents, but even their grammar, expressions and word choice is different based on the country. It’s actually fascinating when you think about it and do some research. In conclusion, Indian English is different than “standard English” because such a thing doesn’t exist! It’s not a bad thing, but it is interesting to reflect on.

I once received a pro email from a guy from India, written with English words. But the text had no meaning at all, absolute gibberish of globish.

I don't understand how it looks like we're spitting. I'm honestly curious about this! I don't personally make fun of accents and frankly I'm not sure why it's funny. I think people from India typically speak 3 languages minimum, so I'm not sure why Americans (who typically struggle to speak one language) would 🤔

[@xanarchygaming6767]

But actually, it's not only makes fun of Indian-English I guess... I think many just make fun to people who not so English in many other country is funny

It is NOT “proper English”- it’s a strong foreign accent. Not the best way to speak, but it isn’t a big deal as long as you work on it.
