Because you have to hear different accents often to hear the nuance. The only difference I hear in american dialects is nasal speakers, the long grudge sound some put at the end of a word and the one true american dialect texas. It's the things media shows often.
@@JaxJenks bruh the media like Hollywood or news show have a more modern california adjacent accent like when southern accent comes up in Hollywood movies it is either being mocked or laughed at
and then you have my immigrant grandpa whose “indian accent” is actually kinda british sounding because he’s anglo indian. india is a diverse place also your makeup looks amazing! that lip color is STUNNING on you 🩷🩷
He's an immigrant so it's definitely gonna be different. Knowing that, indian english has 5000 number of accents depending on their mother tongue,state of migration, region, pronunciation.
Anglo Indians are almost always more Portuguese than British, get yourself a dna test like I did, it will be fascinating. Their dialect sounds like old RP... but the surnames will be straight up Fernando de Silvas.
British guy here. The accents here are so diverse that I can’t imagine thinking that a whole country just has the one accent. Especially with how big India is
I have a friend from Mumbai who refuses to "dilute" her accent. She's proud of her heritage, and I love her voice! Imagine thinking NO-ONE from the massive country that is India would talk with an accent. Such a weird take!
So true. I hate that stereotyped *Indian accent* that Hollywood projects. Infact I call it the angrezi Indian accent. We don't talk like that in India. Accents vary regionally. I'm from Northeast India. And most Indians speak English atleast across the metros. And everyone's varies.
I have friends from India who speak in the accent you did and friends who speak in literally a british accent because their family had heavy influence generations ago! India is a beautiful and DIVERSE place, and that's how any large nation should be.
Tamil azhaga pesura very good. I live in the Bay Area and once the kids go to high school and college avanga ellam magically tamil or Telugu or whatever their mother tongue that they grew up speaking ellam marundhu pochu
@@mypawfectfamilyI think that’s because of lack of practice. My mom is Indian and I’m half white half Indian (I look white) but when I speak tamil and Telugu people get a surprise pikachu face lol. Your tamil is AMAZING btw.
You look soo beautiful in this video and your tamil is also good. Would love to hear you talk more tamil with maybe English subtitles so others who don't know tamil can still get what your saying and those who know tamil enjoy you talking 😅😁 you go sis!
Also just a note that it also has to do with where you got your education and which city you lived in when studying. I find that the Indian accent is less prominent for those that may have attended a different schooling program where many teachers were non-Indians vs schooling where the English is taught by Indians.
I think the accepted grammar is different too. I have seen Indian news online and the grammar is different than either British English or American English.
I'm from New Zealand with a broad New Zealand accent. When i visited the US people either couldn't understand me at all or thought i sounded like Harry Potter 🤦 my sister lives there and hearing her switch accent to speak to locals made me crack up 😂
Most accents are or at least were like this, though from what I know American ones vary comparatively little I'm Irish and here in some places you can tell what village someone comes from on their accent, though an outsider couldn't tell
American accents are so different people have trouble understanding each other. Stereotypical guy from Boston and a stereotypical guy from Dallas…beer will be the only thing they both understand
I think it's just done as an identifier. When people do a British accent, we're not thinking which part of britain we should sound like. We're not from there, so we really couldnt say unless someone told us the difference. Just like when people make fun of american accents, they tend to go super country or super "trendy," mimicking pop artists and lingo. They're not going to pinpoint a Michigan accent versus a southern Cali accent vs a Philadelphia accent. Or texas country vs. Mississippi country, vs. Bayou talk. We just pick out the easy identifier.
Yeah so the problem is that the Tamil accent and the Bengali accent are as different from each other as French accent and Italian accent for English. The variation you are speaking about already exists just within each of these Indian languages.
@@anjalilalithambika1531 After listening to the two languages and accents, I am sticking to what I originally said 😄. I understand they are two different languages and that several languages are spoken in India. But the differences in the accents are so nuanced to a foreign ear that you would have to be from there, be exposed to it regularly, or study language to really hear and explain the differences. I think that's how most people operate when they don't know the different regions, languages, and accents of a place. We adapt broad signifiers to recognize the origin of the accent, because we're incapable of picking out the very minute, detailed differences. You don't hear an African accent and immediately know it's from the SoSo tribe east of the Congo. You hear an African accent and know it's African. 54 countries, hundreds of languages there. But broad signifiers help you to identify it as African origin. Same with India and it's accents.
@@ilevel007 I agree. I'm Caribbean, and people automatically assume Jamaican. We don't think we sound anything like Jamaicans. We hear the difference between all the islands. I know how a Trini talk vs. a Bajan vs. Haitian vs. Guadeloupe, etc. but to everyone else it's just "Caribbean" despite the fact some islands are French, some are English, some have Spanish language influences, some even have heavy Asian influence (lots of Indians in Trini, lots of Chinese in Jamaica). There's a common thing that threads our accents together. Foreigners hold on to that common thing. I did the same with my African friends. I can hear the difference now but before I could, I just recognized their accent as "African" in general.
My husband is North Indian. He doesn’t speak at all like how they depict it sometimes in western media. It really depends on the region. I love his accent ❤️
THANK YOU!!! When I tell other people that every state in India has its own language, culture and food, they look at me like I’m crazy. No, we don’t eat curry everyday, no we don’t have accents and no we are not all the same!

@rownii india not only has accents of same language. India has whole new unique languages. So yup india is more diverse accents than even anglosphere combined. Usa uk aus.
@@brascoperryjoe6425DP is most definitely not “super dark” and never was 😂 when she first began acting she would have maybe been considered dusky but overtime has lightened her skin colour.
It's so funny that for us indian kids indian accent was to exaggerate the t's and the d's because we have like 8 letters in our mother tongue for different t's and d's but for american people indian accent is to turn the t's into d's. Like bro in hindi alone ट ठ ड ढ त थ द ध These all are variations of t's and d's
it's almost as if different regions of a country have different dialects, that's so crazy. it's not like people from Wisconsin speak differently than people from Texas or California or New Jersey.
Scotland, where I am from, which is a tiny country that India is 42 times the size of has at least 20 accents that I can think of just off the top of my head and we really only speak one language (some lucky people also speak Gaelic) Ofc there’s more than one Indian accent 😂 some people.
This is so true! My accent is SO different from ny friends who live in other regions of India because we grew up speaking different languages as our mother tongues
i dont understand why some people cant grasp the concept of not everyone having the same accent if theyre from the same place because everywhere is like that 😭 anywhere u go ur gonna hear accents that are similar but noticeably different
I would explain it like American accents from different states in America. Like NY, or Texas, or Californian. India would be the same different regions have different accents...
thank you for validating this! i have indian co-workers who i codeswitch for. they don't have the "stereotypical indian accent" that was given as an example here, but i'll use incorrect grammar, simplified english that's structured the way they form sentences, and turn of phrases they use i will use the same when speaking to them. my sister tried telling me it was messed up and problematic of me to do this and i'm like how is it bad for me to effectively communicate with my co-workers so we can understand each other on the job?
Wait till people find out some Indian don’t even speak or understand Hindi .. Hi👋🏼 I’m from the Northeast part of India called Mizoram … and most of us don’t speak Hindi Ohh and we look more like people form Thailand or Philippines ie Small eyes paler skin etc2
My Indian accent is my accent. I have never met anyone who speaks like that. How can people think that every people in a subcontinent would speak the same way. Besides, what if someone has that accent? Accent and dialect are controlled by geographical positions. Just because some accents are more accepted doesn't mean they're superior.
I learned the majority of English through western shows and subtitles so I sometimes speak in an accent that's not your conventional Indian accent. It's weird even to me but I can't help it if it is what I'm consuming on a daily basis.
This reminded me of my English class where our professor said that there is many types of English now as it is being used world wide. Just like how Uk english us different from Us english, Indian English is also different. Our use of words and terms are also different from one another again like rubbish in Uk and trashcan in Us (might not be super correct examples) and Im from the Philippines and our use of english is also different
Accents come from how you hold your tongue and use your palate/teeth to speak. So even languages that are different, if they are geographically close, can have a similar oral placement. Thus creating a similar accent.
My friend in high school told me her fourth! language was English, but she mostly got her accent when her family emigrated here. She had learned it in India, like her family, but they kept the accent from India and she and her siblings got peer pressured by the kids at school to change theirs.
very true. I have similar experience. My granddaughter is born in the USA and I was with her childhood days. But now we live in AZ , she is grown up now and when we meet I have too much difficulty understanding when when she is describing her school talks! :-D AMERICAN ACCENTS especially school accents.
India is such a massive country with such different cultures throughout. If the US has such distinct accents, of course India will too, especially with the diversity of languages in India.
As a brown girly my accent changes depending on who I’m talking to. Sometimes it just happens. When I talk to my white friends I have the most whitest accent, but when I talk to my mom in English I unknowingly switch accents😂😂😂
I'm Tamilian and I live in tamilnadu. Even comparing that to Malayalam (in Kerala) which is the closest major language and in the one of the closest state is so different. Forget that the accents of tamil speakers even across districts are so different. Tbh I've never heard anyone in real life talk English with the stereotypical Indian accent.
There's actually a language family in the south of India called the Dravidian language family. The north of India tends to speak Indo-European languages. Makes sense why North and South would have different accents from each other
So true dude.. why don't people understand that if a Italian guy speaks in English they use their Italian accent while speaking in English and that is okay with People. They say omg your accent is so cute. And when Indians do the same for example my first language as an Indian is 'Gujarati' so I use Gujarati accent while speaking in English and even while speaking in Hindi. This is very normal. You use your first language's accent while speaking your 2nd and 3rd language this is okay. Also how can other people even imagine that Indians will use American or British accent while speaking when no one around me use any of those accent so how will I learn? I won't so I will use my 1st language's accent.
I am a northeast Indian, we dont really usualky talk in hindi here so my english accent is a bit different but when I start speaking in english other people would say I am tryna be "american" and am "faking" my accent, but in reality I got no accent ;)
Thank you! I was saying that! It seems like Indian people who speak english, they're not even trying to speak without that accent. They legitimately speak with that accent as if it is a dialect of the English language
I would like to see a video of different regional accents of indians speaking english side by side so I can learn to hear their differences and identify them. 😊
OMGG FRRR like I’m indian and my family is from different places and I actually have favorite accents being exposed to so many dialects and if you’re wondering the way the first girls was speaking is my fav
i may be thinking of a different tiktok but i thought her video was in regards to that one british girl who decided that she was just gonna start talking with an indian accent and forcing it upon herself since she said that she missed having it like she did when she was younger
My Dad once went to India and he heard that locals in the place he went to were really good at English, so he started talking with them, bit they kept on misunderstanding him, so after a while he got a revelation and started talking with an Indian accent in his English, and boom, suddenly everyone understands him!
That fake accent is pretty accurate. Most Indian accents are very similar except for a few regions which have very different phonetics (Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Bengal). Otherwise, they are all pretty damn close.
Yes bro . Now days people just divide kar ney may laga hay . I want our people United so we can have our power in world stage. By the away I am from West Bengal
I speak Spanish (not fluent) and use it to help people at work. If I can’t remember the Spanish word for something I’ll just say it in English with a Latin accent instead of American cuz I’ll have a better chance of being understood. Plus plenty of languages use English loan words so it’s not a bad idea to try the English word using the other languages accent.
I think if you don’t hear it, you can’t really detect it as well. Like when I was watching the soap opera and one of the characters was Mexican while the others were Brazilian I think they were talking about the different accent, but to me it sounded the same.
Dude like most languages depending on the region are so different and the accents that come with them are different. Like a Chilean accent is so different from a Mexican accent
Ok girl. That accent is a hybrid of a gujrati and punjabi accent. I knew a guy. Like you said, there are hundreds of languages, hundreds of regional dialects, and billions of people. Literally every imaginable accent, even a "bad" one can be someone's legitimate accent. I grew up in a 1/2 white, 1/4 Punjab, 1/4 other races neighborhood. The number of brown people that will look terrified and whip their head around in a moment of panic when i put on the "angry Punjabi uncle yelling at the kids who don't speak Punjabi well in English" accent. Because I've witnessed the exact scenario dozens of times and i think it's hilarious.
There’s different American accents. Idk why people don’t think other countries can’t have different accents or dialects.

Yes, there are many Indian accents, but there indeed IS such a thing as a mainstream accent and the Oriental-looking woman nailed it pretty well, IMO.
Me sitting here taking notes ltrly being Indian and have lived in India for my whole life
OMGG FRRR like I’m indian and my family is from different places and I actually have favorite accents being exposed to so many dialects and if you’re wondering the way the first girls was speaking is my fav
i may be thinking of a different tiktok but i thought her video was in regards to that one british girl who decided that she was just gonna start talking with an indian accent and forcing it upon herself since she said that she missed having it like she did when she was younger
My Dad once went to India and he heard that locals in the place he went to were really good at English, so he started talking with them, bit they kept on misunderstanding him, so after a while he got a revelation and started talking with an Indian accent in his English, and boom, suddenly everyone understands him!
Your so pretty I’m from Nepal so I’m not sure if Nepali people accent are like similar to Indian ones
Literally thank you for saying this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
Foreigners never understand this starts mocking people.
I needed to here this. Thank you for sharing this piece of information with us.
I'm from North India and the girl in the beginning did a really good impression😂
That fake accent is pretty accurate. Most Indian accents are very similar except for a few regions which have very different phonetics (Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Bengal). Otherwise, they are all pretty damn close.
Yes bro . Now days people just divide kar ney may laga hay . I want our people United so we can have our power in world stage. By the away I am from West Bengal
your lisp is so cute ❤
When you suddenly speak tamil, I felt like just met my hommie..fantastic ! 😊😊
The way I jumped when u said u speak Tamil😅😂❤
I speak Spanish (not fluent) and use it to help people at work. If I can’t remember the Spanish word for something I’ll just say it in English with a Latin accent instead of American cuz I’ll have a better chance of being understood. Plus plenty of languages use English loan words so it’s not a bad idea to try the English word using the other languages accent.
Finally someone explains the way it needs to be actually is ❤
😂so relatable. Now I speak 5 languages, Hindi, English, Japanese then there’s Indian English and Japanese English!
I think if you don’t hear it, you can’t really detect it as well. Like when I was watching the soap opera and one of the characters was Mexican while the others were Brazilian I think they were talking about the different accent, but to me it sounded the same.
I live in UAE and there’s probably more Indians here than native. They all sound like the stereotypical accent. Not a bad thing
Well, I think when bollywood actors speak it you go oo that's Indian accent
I dated a Indian man from the uk with British accent. Good times lol 😂
Ur Tamil is amazing … my fav dialect of India besides Hindi😊
Dude like most languages depending on the region are so different and the accents that come with them are different. Like a Chilean accent is so different from a Mexican accent
She got that Mindy Kailing voice
Ok girl. That accent is a hybrid of a gujrati and punjabi accent. I knew a guy. Like you said, there are hundreds of languages, hundreds of regional dialects, and billions of people. Literally every imaginable accent, even a "bad" one can be someone's legitimate accent.
I grew up in a 1/2 white, 1/4 Punjab, 1/4 other races neighborhood. The number of brown people that will look terrified and whip their head around in a moment of panic when i put on the "angry Punjabi uncle yelling at the kids who don't speak Punjabi well in English" accent. Because I've witnessed the exact scenario dozens of times and i think it's hilarious.
your hair is GORGEOUS!!
you have such a beautiful eye color and your makeup looks gorgeous
Even in my small country of Poland I find my parents disagreeing over dialects. One grew up in the mountains and one grew up North in the farmland.
YOU SOEAK TAMILL OMG huge fan akka i didnt even knew you were from tamil naduu your tamil sounds great tooo
People always forget that inflection and tone are a huge part of linguistics
Maybe they are faking it then but thats the accent i hear every time i call door dash customer support lmao.
