who's here after seeing own country's flag?? 🇧🇩❤️🇮🇳❤🇲🇾❤🇵🇭❤🇿🇦

I don’t think ranking them is very meaningful- English is spoken in so many places, so native English speakers can understand lots of different accents. All of the girls here are fluent and easy to understand

As a Brazilian, I think Indian English is the most interesting because in Brazilian Portuguese, when we pronounce words in English as we would read them in Portuguese, we pronounce them like Indians pronounce words, but if you hear them speak, when they speak quickly, it's kind of hard to understand, so I think it's interesting that even when we sound similar it's still hard to understand because my ears are trained to hear American English. Even so, I understood everything the girls said because they spoke very clearly and not quickly. I think I would have some difficulty understanding them if they spoke faster, but to be honest, I think that's my problem because I have some difficulty understanding even Brazilian Portuguese speakers when they speak too fast.

Lots of love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 ❤️❤️❤️

Ranking a country's English sounds ridiculous. Only because English speaking fluency and accents are influenced by a host of factors. E.g. in India there are 22 official languages of the states and 2 official languages of the Union Hindi and English. An organisation called the People's Linguistic Survey of India (PLSI) has published 50 volumes of an exhaustive survey where they declare the great nation to have 66 different scripts and over 780 spoken languages. According to the National Census, there are 1365 rationalised mother tongues and 234 identifiable mother tongues, all adding up to 1599. This is besides the 122 major languages. Furthermore, it also depends on the school you go to, whether you live in an urban or rural setting and your socioeconomic status. Also, as alluded to earlier, there will be differing levels of influence of our mother tongues and other Indian languages spoken. I was surprised when I was told I had an accent when I moved to Australia as a student. Because in India the English I spoke would be considered 'neutral' or without an accent. And the other accents that I'd heard were American, British, Australian etc.

In India, accents can be based on your state or region within the state. India has two official languages and 22 scheduled (official) languages.( 23 in totoal). Each state has its regional languages and medium of education. So the mother tongue plays an important role in shaping the accent. In my state itself more than dozen indigenous lanagues are recognised as lanagues (but are not given official status) and the state gov recently approved of 5 indigenous Languages as medium of education for primary schools. ( So we have 8-9 different medium of education in a single state)

It is amazing how diverse the english levels are in the philippines as a whole and within various philippine populations. There are some who speak/write english perfectly, many who speak english poorly and write perfectly, many who speak/write english in perfect grammar but with unintelligible pronunciation, and many who speak a native english vocabulary full of american idioms but can't write grammatically intelligible english....and of course most just speak filipino (and/or local dialect) full of english words wherever the english word is shorter to say, more commonly associated, and/or wherever the topic gets into deep language. Occasionally you'll run across a, usually older, filipino who can speak in a pure native dialect at all topic levels. Things get most interesting when you get filipinos together with no shared dialect and they break out the english (many regions have much better english because this is more often necessary for them).

I wonder how they feel about Canadian English. There are a large Filipino and Indian Community, especially Vancouver and Toronto.

Girl not everyone speaks Hindi or not the official language of the state there are so many states, we don't have Hindi in our schools mostly specially in Government or Govt spons school, we have Sanskrit and Devnagri script. But English is common for every school.

The American girl sounded like she didn't sleep last night

Im inlove the girl wearing the white dress The Bangladesh girl is so pretty 🥰😍🥺 BTW I'm from Philippines 🇵🇭

Of course we were able to grasp some of each of those accents but it really depends on the person. If you pick other people from every of those countries, you might get a totally different level of enunciation and therefore understanding. Pretty interesting video though. Kudos to all of you!

Finally, a video about accents cause my last comment on another video about why Singapore has the best English in terms of Fluency while Philippines has the best Accent in Asia. So people can understand the difference between fluency and accent.

as Malaysians, English is the second language after Malay and we use English-British because we are a former British colony. That's because at school, they will do listening, writing and speaking exams using English-British, not English-American, if you use American language, your score will be rejected. And i want to say to you who have to understand we are Asians, our accent is our version too. You use America-English, your country is also a former British colony, but you don't want to use a British accent. You want to use your own version, accent because America does not want to be a member of the commonwealth.

This channel is One of my favourite.🎉🎉🎉❤

I think Spanish is very big in the US, I think there is also a big influence on the accent in parts because of Spanish. Even though it's not an "official" language, I think it should be considered as there are just so many speakers of it, around 16% speak it natively of bilingually, that's over 50 million people. But ranking people only leads to arguments, there's nothing productive about it at all. Everyone has an accent and even fluent speakers can be harder to understand than someone that is not so fluent. My boss is Chinese and her English is very good, but her accent is quite thick and can lead to misunderstandings sometimes. But there is also another person at work whose English isn't as fluent but their accent is much softer and far easier to understand. It doesn't matter what country you're from, there are people from there that are easy to understand and harder to understand.

I m fome Bangladesh ❤❤❤❤

The american girl speaks at 0.5x speed fr

As an English person, I am surprised how many country's use the English language. The south African girl spoke the more RP English, Therefore sounded most British.

Make a guessing video on northeast Indian coz They look like Thai, Philippines , Chinese , Japanese , Korean.

Going by her responses, the Indian girl is from the North (likely Delhi) as her opinions reflect the biases I have noticed in other North Indians from the Delhi-UP belt. They regularly forget that Gujaratis and Punjabis have perhaps the largest numbers of immigrants and the generic Indian accent that is parodied in American media sounds like a mix of Punjabi and Gujarati accents.

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩❤️❤️❤️

I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭 And all of them can speak in English very well.

comparing their accent is not good idea.because they are professional they know how to adjust... we comparing about accent those people lives in rural area. so that we will know who is better accent.😊

I am proud to be born in Bangladesh

as french, at school they teach more english uk than english US haha, i had more british english teachers but i had also english teacher with american accent, we are used to both but i prefer english us than english uk

This Malaysian Speaks fluently in English it sounds like American which is not so normal because I have Malaysian Friend who is also Chinese Malaysian but she sounds a lot of Chinese who speak English like Singaporean English

American ranked English... It's like Brazilian ranked Portuguese or Mexican ranked Spanish.

johncarlolibadia4052 you are the one having issue with how a Malaysian should sound like when clearly Malaysia has many accents and you are not even from Malaysia so who are you to judge her? It’s her not “him” so fix your English before commenting again.

I'm British & I would rank the American 3rd or 4th in that lineup.

Seriously underrated! ⬆️

Where’s the BD girl’s description? 🇧🇩Every nationality people’s description below! Not bd girl why?🤔

The easiest accent is the one you are most used to listening and anyone who speaks that accent (including yourself) would seem neutral to you. Like the American girl said, she grew up thinking she didn't have an accent until perhaps she travelled abroad.

Bangladeshi people's accent is different and unique from other south asians they tend to speak the english of the country they learn like if they learn american english they will have that accent and if british then that accent..we dont only talk in english in our country even if we do its similar to american accent..

Even in the UK. There are different accents like how people from Liverpool (scousers) speak English compared to people from London who attended colleges in London speaks standard English.

Though English is second official language here in Ph., We still have a lot of Local languages here as our mother tounge so English are mostly the 3rd or 4th language of filipinos except for central Tagalogs. Most of the native languages here lack of f,v,z, and th sound and the consonants are only ah, eh, ii, ow, oo sound. Philippine languages are also VSO in word order and the pronouns are gender neutral so sometimes our word order in English are not in a way of SVO especially with the use of preposition, particles, and some conjunction. We have a lot of enclitic particles as well on our native languages so sometimes we cant express the way we speak in Filipino.

I always thought south african was the hardest of all "native" english "accents", until I traveled the world...now I rank it right behind north carolinian and kiwi english. However, I'm going to argue that many of the most difficult english "accents" are confounded by different "dialects" with even their own grammar rules

I don't like the thing " ranking" because everyone/every country has their own style😊

The indian girl definitely was from delhi-up belt!! Talking about south indian accent as if north indians are any different. Every indian have an accent whether u like it or not!! And she literally forgot that punjabis are the most popular community from india!!! So no its definitely not just south accent thats shown in the media. Also education in india is not just in hindi or eng its done in every other regional language!!!

True we in Indonesia 🇮🇩 say Elevator is Lift tooo..... 😅

❤

Bangla is the sole official language of Bangladesh. English is not an official language but it's widely used and recognized language here. English is used for graduate level studies in universities, some private companies that do business with foreign countries and some rich spoiled kids who think speaking English make them smart. everywhere else it's Bangla only 😁

The american girl looks like Ellie from the last of us lol

Actually in Malaysia "normal Malay school" also teaches 7 ish languages, I said ish cuz it depends on the region, the languages are Siam(Thai), Semai, Punjabi, Arab, Iban, Kadazan and Japanese.

It's interesting, I found they all had better English than the American. I suppose that it is because I have worked with all of the nationalities apart from people from the US. It is odd that the woman from the US wasn't aware that Approximately 430 languages are spoken or signed by people in the US, of which 177 are indigenous to the U.S. or its territories.

The Malaysian one is hiding accent if you look Malaysian speaking English are like Singaporean accent and Chinese accent

im a filipino and contrary to what she (american) said, we dont tried hard to sound or speak english in a clear manner but clarity is within our veins we "TAGALOG" speak really clear.

Can you please create a learn English Language with podcast for all levels of students in future ?

Can you guys please give the American lady an ENERGY DRINK... she is like bored, sleepy and I dont know....

The Netherlands actually have the highest proficiency. They're the best in speaking English.

Who is USA To judge ???????? They are worst in English 😂

Do this again but have someone from a different country ranking with someone from USA being ranked

As from south indian i thought North Indians have strong th and t sound.(They pronounce t like d since they don't have equivalent letter in thire language)

9 minutes ago!

Some of them sound like Apu 😎

I actually had no idea how distinct the Bangladeshi accent is. It's the second time I've heard someone with it and it sounds distinct to me because they pronounce English words quite differently. The girl for example said they would say "ahppel" for "apple" and they'd make a "sh" sound for an "s" sound. It reminds me of the Nepalese accent because they also pronounce words really differently. They don't really speak English but I think they use "s" sound for "sh" because I've heard them pronounce "cash" as "cass". So it's like the opposite for Bangladesh and Nepal.

As a filipino.. who worked at the Caribbean, i say the most comfortable accent to listen is the American accent. The Filipino accent is cringy to listen and use when talking with other english speakers, its okay to use it with other filipinos, but why should you though? Hahaha... The hardest english to digest is the jamaican english and the caribbean accents. The funniest accent is singlese and indian. HOWEVER, i still use the Filipino accent when i interact with others back at the caribbean, i dont want to use american or british accent bcuz i dont want to sound pretentious.

My ranking of best-hearing english from the countries i'm used listening to would be: 1- American English 2 - Canadian English 3 - British English 4 - Aussie English 5 - New Zeland English 6 - South African English 7 - Indian English 8 - Ireland English 9 - Denmark English 10 - other accents in general.

Is it just me or the American girl doesn’t really sound American lol

I'm From Bangladesh❤

❤️❤️ from 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤

Please bring next time Afghani from Afghanistan🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Why the thumbnail like the ranked best English speaking language? Since Sophie ranked the 2nd best of 🇧🇩 in the end?😯 but yeah not everyone in Bangladesh speaks really good accent like her

American Ranked best Englsih speaking Country ❌ American Ranked Best Englsih speaking Girl ✅

I love my Bangladeshi girls❤

Everyone has an accent. There is no such thing as a non-accent.

Bangladeshi accent is more clearer than anyother if you hear more than a word. 😉

What malay at 4th and india at 3rd

I might as well just be a simp for Sophia

The Chinese-Malay chick is like the Chinese-Malay version of Brazilian Julia; very spunky, so unlike most Chinese, who're rather reserved.

philippines was an american colony for 50 years when spain lost to ph and america coalition,spain sold philippines to america then philippine-war happened and philippines lost,making it as an official us colony ,the american nuns taught filipinos english during their occupation

Native American Indians are different from ethnic Indian Americans (who have roots from India).

Even me i can speak like a American 😂

barok o carabao english?😂😂 pwede na yan!😂😂😂

am wondering if i could see any taiwanese to join in, as the channel name "World Friends"

🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

South Africa is native English-speaking country, who is the owner lacks knowledge.

Point of view is from an American. Thus, The Philippines 🇵🇭 has an advantage: that is the only nation in Asia 🌏 which has variant of an American English as an official language due to being an ex colony of the USA 🇺🇸 All the other nations listed here use British 🇬🇧 English. As an American, I disagree 👎 with the fellow American: Engkish from Canada 🇨🇦 is the easiest to understand. My Vancouver relatives have 90% echo of my San Francisco 🌁 accent. 2 English from The Philippines 🇵🇭 3 British 🇬🇧 English. 4 South Africa 🇿🇦 5 Australia 🇦🇺 6 New Zealand 🇳🇿

at some point the malaysian girl sounds like chinese and thai accent to my ear.

the indian girl english isn't neutral the accent is strong 💀

Wait. Rank them? Really? This video is wrong in so many levels

Bangladeshi girl>>>>>>

Fluency scale 1= South Africa 2=Malaysia 3=india 4= PHILIPPINES 5= Bangladesh

WE HAVE BEEN TO MALAYSIA ANG MOST PEOPLE HAD DIFFICULTY IN SPEAKING ENGLISH.

The American girl pissed me off lol

why the girl on the right is bare feet ? The five others want to be heard, she wants to be seen.

🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷

How are you 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Should be an English person ranking other English speakers.

Actually US has a national language, but has no official language. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Yes, there's a difference.

16:35 oh god

インド人は、もうちょっとわかりやすいように喋って欲しいよね😊

That can be true, but we all agree that British is never the best English language.

🇮🇩

English isn't even an official language in the USA. In fact, the USA doesn't have an official language.

I'm surprised Filipino is 2nd.. it's by far the hardest to understand lol, especially when it's a thick accent.

British Englsih 🇬🇧 > American English 🇺🇸

American ranked the best English speaking like Americans are voting for president 😂

Every accent in this video seems natural and authentic except Bangladeshi. It sounds forced and fake!
