I'm from NorthEast India.. And I have to say your demonstration of english pronunciation is completely different from ours.. And it's pretty interesting

World: jokes about indian accent. Indian to fellow indians who try to speak like a native english speaker : wHY sO FaKe AcCenT

Sometimes it is difficult for us (Indians) to understand what our fellow Indian has spoken in English. An Indian from our eastern states will pronounce the same word differently than us from South.

I am an East Indian, and Seetha's pronunciation is more foriegn to us than Callie's. We don't roll our Rs and we don't pronounce Th the way she said, it's only in South India perhaps.

India is like a compilation of atleast 15 different countries with huge diversity in languages, cultures, traditions, food, climates, looks, accents etc. Everytime you cross borders between states you feel like you're in another country.

I'm from South India (Kerala) and even people from the same state as me speaks English differently. Like I used to study in a convent school and they gave huge importance English and pronunciation, tbh it was so *British* . We cut out the 'R's in the end, the 'T' sound is exactly British instead of pronouncing *wa* ter we pronounce it like *wo* ter (of course we cut out the 'r') . I think it depends on which school you study and how much importance the school gives to the pronunciation and stuffs. Later when I started attending another school, it wasn't a convent school but just a normal aided school and some students spoke like how I speak and some students were like so different. Probably because we studied in different schools. And some other things too, like I'm SO good at pronouncing words, it's a given to me (looks like I'm bragging lol). So I can easily switch my English accent since I always watch these American shows, Australian shows, British shows and stuffs. Like I know how the accent works (not completely but I can see the difference). I always watch these videos and shows in KZfaq which made my accent change little bit more. Like I mix the Aussie accent, American and British accent while talking. So yeah the school you study and stuffs like that depends, a lot. There might be so many typos but I don't wanna read my comment again just to edit those :')

As a North Indian I got to know that South Indian English is really different from ours, example thousand, we say 'थ' but she said 'त'

I'm a native South Indian and the reason we roll our rs like RRRa it's because of the more native language, Tamil. Well, atleast from where I'm from. There are two 'r' sounds. One that sounds like ra and another RHa. RHa is more used so anyone that learned how to speak tamil before English they'll definitely have the rolling r. FACTS :D

I belong from northeast india and we northeastern mostly prepare british or American accent but it's like going back and forth! and for the record i speak 5 indian official languages maybe 6 if i include my broken tamil 😆 and not to mention in northeast every tribe has it's own mother tongue and most of em are not not even listed in indian constitution* and technically if i include that languages i can literally speak like 8 languages she said it perfectly "it's like battling 8 languages in my head" And their is no such thing as indian accent its just made up word..

As a Northeast indian. We don't roll the R and the Th sound, we don't prounce it like that.

Actually today I learn about south Indian english...cuz here in north india we usually dont roll our R's a lot 😃

Being a North Indian, I have noticed that fluent speakers here try to speak in sort of American accent. But when I watch some English content, British accent is what I understand the most despite the fact that I myself never speak or tried to speak or learn British accent.

I'm from Mexico and I had an friend from India and most of the time we used to make fun of us a little because the pronunciations and majority his own one, when he tried to pronunce my name it sounded like a name from India and sometimes was a little hard to understand him by his pronunciation but it was fun to realize another type of culture

*Wahh....this is the first i realised that i roll 'R' a lot (I'm a South Indian)😂*

"I grew up in Dubai" That's normal though , many people from India go to United Arab Emirates 🇮🇳🇦🇪

Next time bring an Indian FROM India

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".

ok there needs to be at least about 20 versions of those videos to accurately cover all the English accents that happen in India and she's clearly has a more American touch to her Indian accent than the average Indian English speaker who is really fluent

this is the first video that i ever saw that truly understands several flavours of "indian accent". There is no one Indian accent becuase accent comes from your native language which India has a ton of. There are so many instances when even Indians have a hard time understanding english accent of people from different regions.

I'm from West India I can speak Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, English I know little very little bit of Japanese and trying to learn it And I want to learn Sanskrit

I'm from Assam and been to a Missionary school, and I gotta say how really diff our accents are from the one demonstrated here. Cause in my school we were taught mostly along the British accent and now having watched all the web series and stuff, I've somehow acquired a mixed British- American accent lol so the other girl's accent was a bit more relatable to me tbh

The main difference between North and South Indian accents is that South Accents are singsongy while North Accents are 'not-singsongy' for a lack of a better word. Her accent is a bit a toned down but pretty much okay.

the girl with the Indian flag doesn't seem sound an Indian accent. She admitted she grew up in Dubai and she is not the perfect resource person to explain the Indian accent.

every language and it's accent is beautiful in its own way... 👁👄👁

I am from NE India & I must say our English pronunciation though can't be said close to perfect but it is very similar to British English Coz our mother tongue is very soft if compared to South Indian languages or Hindi , Punjabi of North India . And we often use to watch Hollywood films unlike many Indians who grew up watching Hindi or South Indian films . So, when we speak English we usually follow the British English accent instead of Indian accent . Although , it can't be said perfect but our English is more similar to British English than Indian version of English Since , south Indian languages have strong , heavy pronunciation its natural their English would contain their south Indian heavy accent ...We don't stress on R's as she said in this video

I liked this video! I tried to listen more Indian English on KZfaq but Seetha really demonstrated the difference in pronunciation.

Pronouncing W as V is a European thing also (in some countries).

I am from Uttar Pradesh (north India) but I don't speak like that as sitha told about north indian people and north Indian people have also lots of foreigner friends even lots of north Indian people married to foreigners. My English is not perfect because I studied from government school but private school students speak fluent English like sitha speak.

Indian people speak the words very correctly and without skipping letters. Indian speech is more accurate with the tones and so natural. It becomes annoying at times when people do not understand me, but I am speaking perfectly well. But when they speak they think it is just so perfect.

This Indian girl said that the Indian accent shown in big bang theory was north Indian... while the guy is literally named "rajesh ramayan koothrapalli"... it can't go more southern than that. English accent as well as "grammatics" are much better in north India. Because southis focused most on IT rather than english.

It's interesting that a lot of South Asians who grew up in the Middle East speak with a perfect American accent. I know quite a few Sri Lankans who are the same and who have never even set foot in America.

I'm from the Northeast of India, we don't stress the R like that! I haven't heard my friends from the north India speak this way too!

As an Indian I do agree to some extent to the fact that we pronounce our 'R's slightly more than that in the USA but this was too exaggerated..... I have personally never seen an Indian rolling their 'R's that much

India has more than 22 languages and every speaker Of each of them will pronounce English differently...and r is not rolled in North east or west India it's just in south

😂 I can see the call center guy bobbling his head and trying to scam me!

being a south Indian, Andhra ... seetha's representation is so accurate

An Indian brought up in Dubai teaching Indian English quite ironic. Better bring and compare someone who is a complete Indian who has done graduation or schooling in india itself, there are 2 official language, 22 national languages which are used for local official purpose and over 19500 dialect and over 121 recognised languages spoken. Also we are the inventor of Hinglish which is combination of Hindi and English mixed

If this girl identifies as an “Indian”, then i am Narendra Modi.

You can understand the reason for every English accent if you study the persons native language( especially its consonants and vowels).

She exactly looks like my chemistry tution teacher , omg 😮😅😂😂 I'm gonna show her this 😂 But on the topic , indian accent differs from person to person I think , cuz if I speak with a haryanvi guy .. he's gonna sound different and same with south indian people and northeast indian people🙏

She is a non-resident Indian , bring a native Indian to know real Indian accent

As an Indian , I would say Seetha couldn't able to present the real Indian accent , she used more western accent in pronunciations ...

She doesn't do Indian accent. None of us speak like her or how she demonstrated.

Seetha's English is perfect representation of educated class English from Andhra (Telugu Speakers). I believe it's perfect representation of educated class of all Dravidians. Educated class usually have light mother tongue accent compared to Literate class who have heavy mother tongue accent.

Literally no one in India calls it the Queen's language 😑🤦

Some people in comments cringe me by trying to defend they doesn't have indian accent.listen , having an accent is natural and there is nothing wrong.

This Indian doesn't sound much Indian. She sounds more like an American.

Yeah, I say Cam-ra while speaking my sentences in Hindi and English both. It happens most of the times because Indians don't speak only only langauage and likes mixing two langauges. But when I speak with someone in only English I would say "camera" instead... I don't know about South but yeah it is prevalent in NI...

Also the fact that most of the Indian languages have more letters for more sounds than the US, like there is a significant difference between ka and kha. The way Americans prounounce cat is more kinda Khyat with the kha sound while we prounounce it as kyat. Thats because there is no letter kha in English. I may be completely wrong but thats what I think.

Finally south India 🇮🇳 is represented! Im from Tamil Nadu too but I don't roll r that much her accent sounds greek English

3:35 They Indian way Seetha pronounces the word "twelve" sounds quite Dutch or Low German to me. Very interesting. Maybe it's because of the common Indo-European language roots?

Apu accent is like how South Indian poeple speak ( Tamil person )

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.

This Indian girl (or the girl who grew up in Dubai) has no idea of Indian English. She only has a brown skin colour and so is ethnically Indian. But she has not grown up here so she has no idea of Indian English accents. In fact, the other girl says in 02:52 "you sound like you could be from the US..." This shows that basically the brown girl who grew up in Dubai had a strong American accent and I can tell you as an Indian person who happens to teach English at the undergraduate level that she is not an ideal candidate to represent Indian English accent in this video.

Okay!! So the girl who grew up in Dubai and living in US and sounds like an American is teaching about indian accent

4:39 Love Callie's try on Indian accent 😆

Being Indian she says mehico? Bruhh its mexxxico

i work with a LOT of south indians who are tamil, kannadigas and malayalis, or from andhra/telangana and almost none of them sound like Seetha tbh. The hard 'R' of their languages (not just the rolling one) shows up a lot plus almost a cute sing-song way of pronouncing sentences, and emphasis on last letters of words, even consonants (e.g. thousand sounds more like thaaousanduh' for stronger accents, (and same for that 'th' sound with H a lot more pronounced for some indians).). Plus what Callie is sounding like is more middle eastern than indian with those soft 't' sounds, if she hears Seetha and most indians, they pronounce the t and d hard, not soft.

I really appreciate that they accepted the fact that you can say that whole country speak English words in that particular way that there could be many variations to it according to the region that you can represent a whole country that way

There's not a single english accent in india. All people have different accent of english. Goddamn we have tremendous diversity even in people's accent🤣

After rolling R, in India, A is also becoming very interesting. For example , older person will pronounce Assam as Aasum but younger generations are pronouncing it as Ae-sum. Nagaland as Naegaland, Shanghai as Shenghai, Kashmir as Kaeshmir.

I'm South Indian, and I have to say that she's off. She doesn't sound like a typical South Indian

why the f**k they call NRI for doing accent? India is a very big country and the accent also varies, depends on the part of India you come from.

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.

The amount of different English accents in India is mindboggling

As a hollywood movie watcher.. I think many urban Indians now tend to slurr their accent now more leaning towards the Americas. So it becomes very stylish in a way.. I really like how the new gen speaks actually... Esp the Bangaloreans!!

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.

India is the second most populous country in the world , it has many languages ​​, officially I think there are 22 languages ​​, Hindi is the oldest , I would like to see Seetha speaking Hindi ( if she knows of course )

I am so happy to hear that you are part malayalee. Because Im from Kerala too...Its not a common thing to see malayalees here and there.. So proud..

Awesome Bosses, please bring back and KEEP this Indian lady

In telugu south indian style we role r's more in daily english. She speaks exact south indian english. Good work seetha.

Wish all scammers had that English 🤣

9:34 true cuz when i speak english like naturally with my friends they are all like what accent that was cuz i watch a lot of english and korean shows or like yt videos and thats what makes my english ( vocabulary ) better than most 😅 im not bragging😅

Her (Sita's) english similar to South ( i guess she has tamil or malayalam origin), in north and other parts of india we have different accent. There is no such thing as Indian Accent, as our country is so diverse.

Callie from USA: "You sound like you could be from the US." Seetha "from India": "That's because I actually grew up in Dubai." Because saying, "I'm from India," is much quicker than saying, "I'm an Indian who grew up in Dubai." 😁

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.

This is fake Indian accent and I guess it's because she's actually an American.

a normal person in USA only knows English, but in India a normal person atleast knows 2 languages! they can never understand how another language can influence the accent in English!

As an Indian, I just can't relate to her!! No hate tbh, she's cute but definitely she's nowhere close to an "Indian".

Hate it when someone who's barely lived in India 🇮🇳 represent India in vids💔

This is more Rajesh koothrapalli then actual Indian English. Her sentences are very exaggerated, we don’t speak like that in here. You should get a real native Indian to draw a comparison.

She is Mallu. Me too...😂😂😂

She's right. South Indians do that latin R sometimes, I saw that. But not all Indians as she said.

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.

I'm from East Indian region ( bengal) and our pronounciation is different than South. It more soft and sweet. 😊

She's assuming a lot about North Indian accent for someone who didn't grew up in India specially not at all exposed to North India

Nice to see you again in the show, Callie

Nobody in India talks like that.

2:29 literally nobody calls it the qUeeN'S lAngUage in India. It's called British English if the topic of which English we speak arises. First time hearing "qUeeN'S lAnguAgE"

This woman needs to be back she represented India very good!! Newer ones are just yk those American influenced culture ppl

She herself doesn't seem to be from India 😂 She said that in that show they were trying to imitate a person from North but in reality South Indians have that type of accent. They even speak Hindi with that same accent. She was completely wrong at this point. You guys pls try to make your next episode with someone who's currently residing in India not NRIs or Indians living out of India for so long.

Seetha is stunning 🔥

Even I'm Indian I knew how to speak English like a Foreigner just Difference is in flicker the toung

Coming from North India what pisses most of us is the exaggerated accent which is surprisingly discussed here. Surprisingly, most of the US and Australian people I have worked with people often comment you do not sound anything what Indians sound like in US sitcoms. So it comes down to your pronunciation and diction . Many southern friends do not have the accent as it is presented here. Most of the people have no clue what they are saying when it comes to Indian accent. The anecdote from big bang theory is not at all from any part of India that is for sure.

Thank god Callie is not from calfornia, else she would've to introduce "Hi I am the Callie from the Valley" 🤣

Hello world Friends I hope you can make a video comparison between Filipino English ,india english, South African English, malaysia english and other?

Actually only one person cannot represent Indian English as we have so many different accents. And I have realised this many times that foreigners think South Indian accent as standard Indian accent and North Indian food as standard Indian food.

After watching this whole video ...why I felt like Seeta's accent sounds more American than Indian 🙄

Love to see south asian representation in World friends! Seetha is really knowledgeable about how english differs in indian. love to see her in more videos. Callie also did a good job trying to replicate the indian accent. it’s pretty hard when you don’t speak a language that sounds similar to the languages in india.

there is no one named "koothrapalli" in north India, that is the most south indian name i've ever heard. Also that accent is extremely exaggerated, but has the tamillian tone.
