Korean racist to Indians. I understand it is a homogenous society but the hypocrisy of their tourism campaign. Even though a Kpop fan but as an Indian it hurts.

Shashi tharoor English accent
Fun fact, as a French person, I find Indian accent easier to understand than most British and American accents...
Maybe it's cz indians tend to focus on pronouncing every syllable and word precisely unlike the british or americans
As our native language is phonetic so we make English phonetic too 💀
Exactly! French Spanish and Italian English accents are way more easier to understand for Indian people
I actually find Indian English easier to understand than most English dialects, especially Welsh, Irish and Scottish ones.
@@rg-md2gi nope! Not usually if you're referring to some movie characters having one of those accents
They usually exaggerate to make it more dramatic. It's totally depends on what kind of phonetic sound your ear is trained to listen.
Americans make fun of Indian accent↔️ Indians making fun of American accent
And the cycle goes on...
Yeah it should be😂
well you hear Americans make fun of other accents all the time but I'v never heard Indians making fun of American accents except this one. So I donno if there's even a cycle.....And it doesn't stop with accents.I feel like the United States always has to be different in everything, like with football, the metric system, Fahrenheit, etc. It's as if they need to show off their uniqueness to assert themselves as a world leader. Even in the NBA, they tout the NBA champion as the world champion. Many other countries have their own dominant sports or fields, but none seem to do it quite like the U.S
Well no one actually did they only compared it with other accents which is good thing
@@neilchan7361
There is an another video in this channel where they make fun of American accent.
One says Americans speak like they are spitting
😂😂
As an Indian, I can confirm that if you spoke in American accent in India, you might be dead. 💀💀💀😂
Please don't confirm
No they will rather troll you
You shouldn't have said that. Lots of ppl will actually take u seriously now coz they think of brown ppl as savages. To make matters worse your pfp is easy to confuse with a hateful movement
Don't lie. People from northeast never use Indian accent. They're speak English with a mixed of American+ British accent.
@@Dianne._ MAYBE BECAUSE OF MISSIONARIES GANAGS AND MAFIAS CONVERTING TRIBALS FROM 1980S AND BRITISH RAJ STILL THAILAND CAMBODIA VIETNAM AND BHUTAN HAVE THEIR OWN ENGLISH ACCENT+THEY WERE ALREADY BUDDHIST NEVER FORCE CONVERTED LIKE SOUTH KOREANS AND PHILLIPINOS FROM COLLONIALS
I like how everyone is educating the Indians how their accents are different in their own country while being completely ignorant that India also has 22 official langauges and every state speaks English by adding the touch of their own mother tongue, in fact one state can have different languages based on regions. There is nothing like a fixed Indian accent. A Gujarati will speak English differently than a Tamilian, or an Assamese would speak English in different accent than a Punjabi. We bring our own touch to English.
So, the stereotypes about one single "Indian accent" is more funny than people making fun of our accent. So for all the language and accent experts, India is like 29 different countries put together as one single country with different languages, food and culture. Don't lump us all together.
My problem is them equating American English as being bad simply for not being British English - and then turning around and making the same mistakes they condemn (speaking casually by saying, ”Simpsons and stuff,” using prepositions that would be considered incorrect by British standards). Instead of realizing there are many types of English dialects/accents across the world and just because they’re different from British does not make them wrong (this includes Indian English (from whereever the person in India is), they call American English wrong - all while failing to hold up to the same standard they’re placing on Americans.
It’s hypocritical.
Yes, usually I’m equally on the Hate America Train, but this is one instance where it isn’t deserved. Most of the respondents were being so close-minded here.
@@keiths2902Agreed
@@keiths2902 These respondents are from the Mumbai city who are as Americanized as it gets. A lot of them think Mumbai is LA of India. If you talk to them or listen to them daily, they speak American English more than the rest of the country. So, to say they were being ignorant and hypocritical is an understatement. They represent themselves not the whole of India.
Also, just because they are criticizing American English doesn't make them American hater. That's a little bit of an exaggeration. English is one of the official languages of India because it was forced on us by the British during colonization period. We are taught British English in schools so maybe that makes us prefer British English. But majority of us prefer to speak our native language so being an expert at English or getting the accent perfectly is not our priority. And to be criticized on it makes no sense to us, I mean the Chinese, Japanese and South Koreans don't even give preference to English. They put their language first.
Why are Indians always picked on our accents? I mean we are at least trying to or able to speak English in a foreign country or wherever it's required. I hate the stereotypes and the dumb jokes. Now, I could also say that because people are criticizing Indian English, they are Indian haters.
One thing I've noticed about English native speakers that they're *not* *gonna* *appreciate* your English speaking skills as non native speaker
I'm not saying all of them but most of them trying to point out things like:
ah! that person's accent sounds weird/funny , why she has very thick accent , he speaks in different tone and.....
( most of them don't know how to appreciate someone) which is annoying 😒
But just say *Chiao* in front of an Italian that person will fall in love with you 😁
Or say *hola* to Spanish person they'll be impressed.
@@Kumari_kl You're referencing English speakers who have not interacted much with other cultures or have not travelled abroad, which is not most people, in my opinion. Ideally, a well-cultured person would not point out the things you mentioned, because they'd realize English is not that person's native language......
As an American I can confirm we even stereotype our own American accents too. Also, it's pretty funny dude is saying they don't speak like that while he's literally speaking like that, lol. I guess stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.
I felt that too..the SIMPSON reference. 😂❤🙌🏽 I love INDIA 🇮🇳. 🙆🏻♀️❤🇺🇸
ngl i felt that too..
Indian accent is kind of evolving
I wonder how would they sound after 20 or 30 years🤔
Fun fact, India has been speaking English almost as long as the United States has been independent,
so much much more than 20 or 30 years, but yes, languages do evolve & change in some.fractionc over time.
Folks can be so judgemental to accents from the American south, and I'm talking about other Americans doing this. 😅
That singing girl had an extremely well done accent and also a great singing voice.
I am American and I agree 100%, I was impressed
Eeh she definitely still sounded Indian
She was amazing! 💕
Is it just me, or does singing seem to always negate accents?
Typically, I find that when you sing in English, your accent will fade away and you’ll end up sounding American
"I give myself a solid zero" 😂😂 I love this video! So fun, and light-hearteded

Now this is one funny topic for a street interview. Would love more of these from different countries.
As an American I’m incredibly impressed by all of their English. Makes me want to go and explore India now.
They were a colony of the UK for centuries...
Oh you certainly won't be having problems communicating with people here even the street vendors know basic english!

@@tendwa5263 I never said they will be able to communicate with them fully, thats exactly why i specified basic english :)
Love from India🇮🇳
I'm actually going to leave another comment here because I think this video actually just smashed a belief I've subconsciously held all my life. As an American, I'm accustomed to American/Canadian/British/Australian accents as the baseline for what English is supposed to sound like. As a consequence, Indian accents sound 'improper' to me. Foreign. Incorrect English. The stereotypical Indian isn't good at speaking English because they don't sound like the baseline. That's been my unintentional mindset. I mean absolutely no offense by it.
Seeing this video kind of flipped the script for me. To Indians, their English sounds like the normal baseline and we Americans are the foreign-sounding outliers. It's obvious in hindsight, but I'd simply never been exposed to that perspective before. I... guess I just have never had much exposure to Indian perspectives in general, really. That's something I need to correct. I'm going to walk away from this video wiser and more inclusive in how I think about English and its global speakers, so thanks!
Its because for Indians it's not their 1st language. It's a 2nd language. Indian English is sometimes mixed with their 1st language. We created a completely new language and its called inglish. (Indian languages + English). And it's not made to meet your baselines.
@@abal7633 Yeah, obviously being a second language is a big factor. But some of the people in the video were talking about the Indian accent as a distinct dialect in its own right that they're taught to speak with. That's what was surprising to me. I'd never thought of it in those terms.
And your language shouldn't be made to meet my standards! Who am I? You guys go ahead and do things your own way. Don't let me interfere.
I agree with you, if you will say anything to a child in different accent they will say you are misspronoucing what I mean is imagine you saying any word in american or British english to a japanese kid learning English from his teacher he will say you are incorrect as there teacher or he do not say it that way, whereas many people who consider the american Irish or birtish english proper will say the child is delusional but from his pov u are wrong
It's interesting isn't it. The country with the both the largest population and the largest amount of English speakers is India. Not Britain or the USA. For many of those young people in particular, English might become their favourite and commonly used language too, if all of their favourite music, books and TV is in English.
In which case there will be solid justification for considering Indian English as the "most correct" baseline. England also has justification in it being the origin. But the USA will be left with no claim to that title.
A few years ago I had a similar epiphany about spelling. Spelling was completely non standardised in Britain until printed text became common, and then only as a side effect of all those prints being created by the same company. I am one of those people who spent most of my life disgusted by bad spelling and looking down on others who could not consistently spell in the "correct way" so it was a real turnaround to realise that there is no correct way. English spelling was originally phonetic , so essentially any reasonable attempt to phonetically spell out words is correct.
Americans and Canadians have the same accent which is sometimes referred to as North American English. We are native English speakers, so I would say our English is more correct. Anyone can learn French, but it most likely won’t sound as proper as a native French speaker
Really fascinating video. As an American with (so far as I can tell) a fairly flat, generic Ohio accent, it's hilarious to me that Indians think their accent is neutral or bland compared to ours. To American ears, the Indian accent is very strong and distinct from anything you'd hear in the US or UK. I guess it's all about perspective. I've met fellow Americans that have a hard time understanding me, so I guess that says a lot.
All of this is because of the different mother tongues we have here. The intonations in our 1st language tend to sound 'natural' to us and hence, the way people roll their r's or pronounce t's and d's, or even silent some letters feels weird to us. Obviously locations change accents too-a Bihari's English accent would be much different than that of someone from say, Karnataka.
But, I do feel that most of us are a little too much into the 'we speak better english' narrative.
We think our accent is bland because we speak the way it is written. I mean we pronounce every letter of the word. For eg the word WATER Indians would say water, Americans would say wader, Aussies would say Wotah and British would say..... I don't know tf they say coz I understand none of it.
British would say woh-ah lol@@Dwrksied
@@Dwrksied but you don't actually pronounce every letter of a word. you don't pronounce the s in island. you don't pronounce the h in honest. you don't pronounce the second o in colonel. that's not how english works so the water argument doesn't hold tbh it's just one word out of many.

I love the guy who gave himself a solid zero- he sounded great but finished up with very Indian hand gestures:)
That guy was so chill
Which hand gesture are you talking about that wasn't the indian hand gesture it was more like gayies or girlies
@@JustCreatorJC I don’t think so at all… compared to men in the US they are just softer gestures, from what Ive seen
As an American, I was offended when that chick said we don’t know how to speak English….till she said we’re bad at grammar 😂. I had to give it to her haha

Explain what is heavier accent
@@saysumesh Basically, any non-native English speaker speaks English with phonological sounds interfering from their own native language's phonology. People from different social backgrounds can affect the way how non-native English speakers talk in English

@@infinity8982 see you 💖
I'm an NRI. I was born in India but grew up in Europe and now live in America. I've noticed this with a lot Indians and also my cousins is that they'll think their accent is very neutral or balanced but it sounds totally like a regular old Indian accent. The accent is think and the tone is very unique. They all have a very typical Indian accent
@@jayfloramusicOnly North Indians think they don't have a thick accent. 😂
Well other accents are not balanced acc. to Indians and is the same way for the rest of the world.Each country thinks that their accent is normal.
Well nowadays it has changed due to more exposure to English movies.
@@EagleOverTheSeaBcz they don't....
Comparatively, south Indians do hve a more thick tone to their English Accent....
@@paragduhan5120Exactly
*American:* Aye funny accent-
*Indian/Italian/French/African/Asian:* Should I speak in another language?
American: *nervous sweats*
Indians/Asian:- bro indians are Asians (south Asia )
I hope you passed your geography :)
why nervous??
As a Malay....Indian accent english is hard to understand....And so funny too...
They learn English to talk to us
Not everyone in America speaks just one language
I feel like american accent is easier to understand than lets say brit or the aussie accent. Strong brit or aussie accent generally fly over my head.
Same
Yeah same
Exactly, i don't how these people are going gaga about British accent.
The main reason being most of the media is American. Thats the only reason. I don't American is inherently easier to understand
worst is the scottish accent, it’s like a different language
As an American living in the UK I’m interested in which British accent they find so proper. I’m sure it’s the Northern, Geordie, or Essex accent 😂😂😂 Clearly we are ALL getting too much information from TV and not real world experience
I agree, were anything but posh elegant crisp or clean lmao (im from Kent south east uk)
I think cambridge area is the place that holds the proper accent, everywhere else has its own quirks in the accent
I have worked in the UK market but never lived in the UK (I'm American also.) Honestly, in a proffesional setting most English people sound the same, I really only notice a difference when I am speaking to an Irish person, Scotsman or Welsh.
@@Gewehr_3 I live in Singapore, and I had this job interview where the boss was this older British lady with a Birmingham accent. When she opened her mouth I was like "holy crap!" because I had never heard this accent before. I had to concentrate hard to make sense of what she was saying.
@@silverchairsgInteresting, honestly I have dealt with people from Birmingham but it wasn't so bad. Maybe the difference is I deal mostly with younger people. I have met some younger English people who have almost a west coast accent, I assume from watching so much American TV/movies.
Exactly what I was thinking 🤣
Indians are 1000 Times better thn koreans in English
👏👏
yeah.
Indians can say the word "Mac donalds" but koreans will say it like: Maak donaळड़u
This whole video made me smile. Thank you for making this fun video!
Problem is there’s tons of American accents. One guy says he’s likes thicker accents, then he hasn’t heard deep southern American enough 😂
Mate, there aren't that many American accents. The UK is five times smaller yet has more accents than yankeedoodletown. Really you only have two main accents
South and Not South.
Then you have to split it again. I’m from Atlanta. People from New Orleans and Mississippi sounds NOTHING like us 👀
@@mildlydispleased3221 Wrong, west coast has different sounds than us in the regular south, South Carolina has a different english also than other southern states, new orleans as the guy below said is different again, the west virginian and western virginians have a different accent too, you clearly dont know what you are talking about, the sounds are also different depending on if you are ethnic black, white, or hispanic. There are several accents in the US
@@mildlydispleased3221Yeah sure buddy, the UK also only has 2 accents, refugee and nails on a blackboard.
@@gangstagummybear3432the differences are still minimal compared to the UK lol
This was a refreshing take compared to the usual intense content that your channel usually has. I think it's very nice to have this Indian perspective. I do admit that, as an American, it is difficult to understand the Indian version and pronunciation of the spoken English language. But the Indians have a much better grasp on the language with much more intelligence and vocabulary. They are completely spot on as far as the American perspective and version of the English language. What gets to me is that I already know and seen some of the Americans trying to talk down everyone else based on their own bias. Truth is that Americans can sound just as funny and twice as dumb from the other parts of the non-USA world. I'm so thankful that this side is shown.
I think it’s so naaive to equate intelligence to dialect or to assume that different = wrong. We place the value on what is being said subjectively - language evolves and thinking a language or dialect is incorrect just because it is different from what it originated as is so close-minded. By this vein of thought, we can say Indian English is ”bad” or ”incorrect” because it also deviates from British English (and the respondents here also invoke casual language (”Simpsons and stuff”) and occassionally use a preposition that would be incorrect in British English.) But America is an easy target and people already have it in their minds that Americans aren’t intelligent.
(I’m not a fan of America but I’m not going to artifically extend that into areas where it would be just plain wrong. Language localizes and that doesn’t make any dialect/accent incrroect for it. The majority of these interviewees were stereotyping while trying to take a high ground that no one should - because language is about communicating ideas and no one language or dailect should be valued better or worse than another.)
Most western people find eastern English accent weird which is logically fine so as we do
but the main reason is we have totally different scripts intonation and phonetic sounds and our ears are not trained to listen non native sounds
Obviously most of the Europeans gonna find American accents easier to understand likewise the Americans because they've almost same script sounds and flow
What annoys the most is some of them( Americans and Europeans )are deluded this much that they think the whole world speak English if something comes out of the box
They were like : what I'm listening ?? Is that English?
By the way according to their definition of whole world means EUROPE CANADA and some part of north AMERICA😁
( Wondering 🤔apart from English how many language do people from The USA speak )
@@Kumari_kl And here you go with stereotypes. I'm a native Californian and I speak 3 languages....I also lived in Europe for several years. Please don't stereotype us all into one "box" to use your words.
@@ec6951 then I'm sure you know the time and efforts it takes
Mocking non-native speaker is probably shows immaturity (don't you think that)
And I know there are people out there who really appreciate non-native speakers but the opposite is also true ( n you can't deny it)
@@Kumari_klyour grammar is worse than the people you are supposedly stereotyping. 😂
I remember in my childhood, me and my friends laughed at our uncle, because he's was pronouncing the word "Not (Naat) ". We found it funny. We thought he's saying it wrong. But later found out he's speaking American accent bro 😂. Don't hate me saying this , it's just part of my life story
the taylor swift singer was the first we heard someone come out of the blue with an accurate recreation that sounded a lot different than their voice, nicely done
Like british singers that sound american, maybe it's easier!
It's because when you sing a different part of your brain is active as when you speak.
That's also why people who stutter, can sing without problem, but not speak without a stutter
That makes a lot more sense why my singing voice is different from my speaking voice@@veero8130
There are probably thousands of such accurate singers in India ... Usually Americans don't watch Indian covers of English songs ..else they would know!..It is not out of the blue for us.
As an Indian I do prefer American accent over British accent because it is easier to understand and I could watch American Office without subtitles. But Ironically, when it comes to spelling and Grammar, I think British English and pronunciation is more popular and considered suitable here, because that's what we are taught in schools. Like in the old Aeroplan v. Airplane debate, prior would bag victory in India.
Also its always been surprising for me how Americans find Indian accent funny, despite of it being easiest to understand. They just don't understand how their accent is difficult for us to understand and same with us vice-versa.
Same
Today's contents has been the best among ones I've watched recently. It's like though provoking contents in positive way. Thanks for doing this work.
I am from North East India and I find two distinct accents from the mainland India... Southern and Northern. But we the north easterners speak completely different from them. I think Accent has a lot to do with our mother tongue or dialect and its influence.
BUT PEOPLE FROM NORTH EAST INDIA ESPECIALLY FROM MANIPUR NAGALAND MEGHALAYA AND MIZORAM fancy either British or American accent. I'm right.. right?😎😀
You mean mimicking or copying them
I am glad you didn't include Assam. Because the lower Assamese English accent is the same as the northern part.
Yes ...overall most of indian look Western as supremist...and want to become like them ...but north east take this to whole new level..in coming days this region will loose their culture.
North east indians have nothing original, they style like koreans, speak like Americans, behave like Bengali and follow an abhramic religion called Christianity, which is from middle east.
Yeah right,,, it has no similarly with northern or southern accent
Thank you “ASIAN BOSS” I needed some humor and positivity. Happy Thanksgiving 2023’ 🦃🍁 everyone!! 🙆🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
As a Indian myself, I honestly think Indian accent is the funniest accent after Thai.
Agreed 😅Thai and Vietnamese… Then Southern (America) and Indian
Yet many of them think native speakers sound funny 😂

@@neshwhat702 Those were the first ones I thought of to! 🤭
Arguably the most incomprehensible accent I have encountered in the past in Singapore English. I think it is improving.

Lol
I'm very admire the Indian people can speak very fluent English, as Asians, we take almost 6 years to learn English, but very few can speak as well as Indian people.
Hey, we are Asians too.
Asia is a continent not a country. By saying asian you are literally excluding India and the Indian subcontinent which is in asia (south asia) you know!
There is nothing worth admiring here. As an Indian, I am glad that at least some fo our neighbours still value their own language above the rest.

When the young woman started singing Taylor Swift, she sounded completely American! That's so funny - we've all puzzled over why English singers lose their accents when they sing too. She did great singing too. :) She is also correct that most Americans are bad at grammar.

@@sheeit-co3co says the black guy😂 (meant no offense, take it as a joke)
That sounded "completely American" to you? Did we listen to the same thing? 😂
So it all comes down to personal perspective and what's considered mundane vs what's novel. As an American, I definitely prefer an Indian accent, so much so that it's what I have in my system settings for my Google Home, my car navigation, my bot reading app too. I prefer the crisp way Indians pronounce their consonants. Although, I will admit, I do have to use subtitles on occasion when an Indian person speaks in video from fine to time.
Ohh wow good for you
For clarity and comprehension I prefer the English language spoken by Indians as opposed to the UK and USA as the Indian English accent is 1 universal accent, I assure you that most Indians would not be able to understand the English language (or even identify it) if spoken by someone from Liverpool, Birmingham or some parts of Scotland, I’m English and struggle myself to understand some other accents, we have abbreviated far too much also, meaning informal and formal are completely blurred in the lower to middle class, upper class language or “the kings English” as we define it, is undoubtedly the clearest and purest form of English there is!.
It literally feels difficult for us to understand the Scottish and Irish accent. In fact when I heard them the first time I thought they were speaking a different language. The British accent is easier to understand may be just in my case because their wordings sound comparatively clear to us rather than eating up the words like Americans and Australians. Lol
The days when it was still called Queen's English 😂
The reason why Indians speaking English sounds abit funny is because 90% of the time the last word in any sentence they speak. They really over pronounce it and go very hard on the last word. Just listen to some of these brothers n sisters and pay attention to how much they stretch the last word.
I think its cause they use the indian tone while they speak english
@@sumerurose8586 yeah ur right
It's bcz of how most Indian languages focus more on the last word in sentence and it also sounds like that bcz English is not our first language , in almost all cases English is our 2nd or 3rd language
@@ajaymahala2415 yeah makes sense brother
Its simply because - what we say is what we write and what its written is what we pronounce. In Indian languages we have more alphabets that just 26 in English. We can pronounce any sound.
The girl singing "Is it over now" by Taytay killed it
The American accent is so vague. There are so many versions in the US. I would be curious if there was a consistent region that was most difficult to understand. Also, there are different grammatical nuances that have come about in certain US regions as well. It’s fascinating to listen to all the English accents around the world.
Look up Louisiana accent. It’s almost their own language (and maybe it is). It’s so hard to understand that it’s a meme.
You could say the same about the Indian accent being vague though. There's so many different languages and dialects that a guy from South of India, will have a much different accent than a North Indian.
But to someome that isn't an Indian, the differences aren't as obvious.
Same way, American accents probably vary state to state but if someone isn't American the differences are not so obvious. They kinda just gel together into one "American accent."
I feel like most Indians aren't knowledgeable enough on American geography to identify where a particular accent comes from. Some of them are harder to understand than others though. I never understood people from Texas (?)
@@ericd1022 That's a linguistically fascinating state, there are multiple accents in New Orleans alone
I spent 10 years of my childhood in the USA and returned to India when I was 14 and have lived here for 10+ years since. I have a natural American accent, because well, I grew up there. Still, I only use it depending on the audience. When I was in 9-12th, I developed my Indian accent in school as i studied in a small city and it didn't help to blend in with the crowd to speak like an American. With friends/classmates, exclusively hindi (took me a year or so to learn). When I went to Delhi University, however, I used to speak almost exclusively in my natural American accent and everyone actually loved it when they came to know my background. Now living in Goa, I experience the same. But, in an Indian crowd who doesn't know my background, I never by default use my American accent (even though it's natural), just because you never know how the other party will take it. In fact, now I just speak Hindi (when in north/central India) because I speak like any native from my area. Only speak English in certain circles, and American English in even fewer. Also, another reason to not use my American accent is for some reason some people try to mimic it, and they just can't (nor should they, indian accent is great). Just my 2 cents from someone who lives this everyday
Omg , you are so lucky to spend your childhood in The USA , you should have lived there only 😢, coming to India was not a so great decision, now you will also lag behind in life like many Indians , In US you would have grown much faster in life
@@vabs16 Is that so? I don't think the American Dream is a real thing.
@@user-if8tg1or7m it's real bro
@@vabs16 lol you are educating a person about their life decisions? Get a job dude. Also a person who cant be happy at one place cant be happy anywhere lol americans move europe all the time so is america reallly the place you make it out to be?
Always cool to hear what non-native speakers think about the different English accents.
_No, I think the “LAZY” English is Singaporean English and Singaporean accent. Singlish is the language that deliberately ignores vowels and select English words when speaking the English language out of “convenience”._
American English can be lazy. It depends on the user, but I've had tons of classmates who would slur their words, and our teachers would try to get it "corrected" by asking them to speak up louder & clearer.
@@Sarah-ul9ec
_NO - You are saying that based on random growing teenagers who choose to slur their English words. Once you hear and observe how Singaporean English is spoken by their general population (not just some select teenage random children) then you will understand Why Singaporean English is a very Lazy form of English on its own. They even deliberately omit grammatical words just to convey a shortened form of English which would become incorrect in Standard American grammar structure._
@@Sarah-ul9ec Singaporean English just outright ignores grammar, removes almost all particles, and cuts off the last consonant of almost every single word.
lazy is black American English obviously because of the history. they say Iss all the time instead if it's. Acks instead of ask. for example to say"there is a guy..over there" - iss a guy over there. ebonics some might say it is. or thass wack instead of that is wack and wack meaning crazy is a slang term in the urban hood. everybody knows wassup? (what is up?) which nobody would say it like that also slang is to say how are you? as a greeting.
@@christianhansen3292
_Yes but at least the Americanized grammar is still generally correct, for the most part, add or minus some American slangs based on their Negroid culture et cetera. When you compare Black American “Ebonics” to Singaporean English, the Singlish language by all its daily word and communication is far Lazier. Also, not all Americans in the United States speak the African-American slangs or “Black English”. But Singlish in Singapore is spoken by the majority of Singaporean nationalities and to an extent, a great part of Chinese diaspora as well._
As an Indian, can Asian Boss please stop conducting interviews in English?! idk but if you really want people to say what they actually have in mind, then please ask them in their native languages.
3:17. Homie aced the American citizenship exam.
😂This was awesome! Especially the Pulp Fiction line! Was not expecting that!

5:07 We’re not trying to be different. Our accent has been developing since the first English settlement at Jamestown, but a lot of elements of our dialect are retained from pre-colonial English. Look up “Lost in the pond”. It’s a CZcams channel where a British immigrant to the US explains the quirks of American speech and culture.
Singing is the best way to get good at dialects! Taylor Swift girl had it the best.
As an American, I agree.
Also an American here -- Taylor Swift girl Nailed It 👏@@arex9000
It's for all the languages, if you try to sound like them, you learn even faster
Bro you just made a cheat code for adapting any accent . I never realised this😮😮
@@D__Ujjwal Personally I think calling it an "accent" is a way for the west to push down on other english speaking countries like india, pakistan, and all over africa. I prefer to call it a dialect as it is already a valid form of english! That being said, adapting the way you speak is incredibly useful.
I am an Indian and really love American accent, as its more standard also, it sound so good and rich when you speak american accent.
Yeah yeah 🥴🤡
so indians sound poor ?
Nuh uh
It's interesting that the one guy said he feels the Indian accent is more neutral. I had heard that American accents, specifically in the northeast like NY, are the most neutral for English
I as an american really enjoy indian accents. i guess they can be funny cause they way they speak just sounds so playful.
If you want more playful sounds,then listen to chinese and korean's english.
After that,reply me what's your reaction ?
@@samonmee Not even close. indian accent is way more playful. my gf is korean. chinese english accent isnt playful at all
I think it’s because we have ingrained English in our vocabulary (unlike native Koreans and Chinese) So I guess we just add the spice of our native languages directly into English (Like it doesn’t seem like a foreign language just a different accent of it?)😅
Just signed up for my Asian Boss membership. Hope y'all keep doing your work!
My favorite as an American, definitely love the Aussie accent. Or Irish.
But, hilarious when the guy says that Indians shouldn't be stereotyped for their Indian accents and that it isn't like all Indians bobble their heads when they talk... and the next cut is of another Indian with a heavy accent who immediately bobbles his head 😂
Look... everyone who learns more than 1 language... will have an accent... there are maybe 5% of people who manage to mimic so well you don't notice it, but VERY few people can achieve that. I speak Spanish fluently... and still sound like a surfer dude from California... in Spanish. There is nothing wrong with that. And some people do gesture more, or have more animated faces, or whatever. Nothing wrong with that...
I used to think british accent was classy but gen z in UK sound funny to me .
Proper British English is classy, but unfortunately, just as it has happened in the united states, their common English accent has deteriorated into a less classy, or maybe even one could say "ghetto" accent. A shame, really. American English used to be classier too.
Many people don't know this that Indian languages are written according to sound. So we pronounce every syllable that is written.
The iimpression of that guy of Sammuel L. Jackson is just gold
the guy in the green shirt is adorable. and his sam jackson accent is a hoot.
definitely a guy I'd like to hang out with, he's cool
He should’ve tried the one from hateful eight “I will be double dawg damned”this would’ve been more funnier
Filipino-Indian here and it shocks people here in the Philippines that I don't have an Indian accent but an upper-middle class Filipino accent. I like the Malaysian accent myself, I wish I can do it better!
Indian accent on most of tutorial in youtube. very good tutorial and I do understand it. it's far from native english speaking language but it has a character that I love.
Zoni here (guy from AZ). The Indian english accent is beautiful, period.
2:50 girl waited for this moment
Yeahhhh there’s a lot of American accents. I think they see a lot of the same American accent on TV. But there are a lot of regions influenced by a lot of different settlers and dialects. You really can’t put the U.S. accent in the same box. And honestly, I always say-each state is almost like its own country. We are united by the same government and have a loose socio-culture we sorta share but the closer you get to things the more you can see the differences. We are a melting pot of different cultures and people especially from region to region.
I understand the point you're making, but to say that each state is like a country makes me think that you haven't traveled abroad much.
Sure, there are regional differences in the US, but most states are pretty similar to each other.
@@1988kcmo I have traveled abroad. And I mean each state is like its own country in a sense that it cannot be grouped together. When my friends in other countries ask about things they see on television. I have to tell them that each place sometimes does different things.
@@lady_icarus"each state is like it's own country"? Are you talking about the US?
Then, what shall you say when you encounter the Asian countries?😂😂
@@YakuzaSRC That they are their own countries. 🙄 Because each Asian *country* are separate *countries.* I said each state “is almost like” not literally but figuratively.
India and Japan has the funniest IMO. Love them.
Asianboss killing it with these uploads
Man, this was a bunch of negative Indian stereotypes in one video.
In all these kind of interviews with Indians, there's always quite a few that say that their accent is the easiest to understand. To my American ears, that couldn't be any further from the truth. I've lost count of all the times I've had to awkwardly say "can you repeat that?" or "I'm sorry but I didn't catch what you just said." I don't think they realize just how thick their accents are to non-Indian ears.
Well it's the accent they speak with and hear on a daily basis, much like how anyone who has a specific accent hears it on a daily basis😅
They're quite unaware of how they sound to foreigners. It's funny.
By that they mean it's easier to understand among the Indians, and similarly they find it difficult to understand american accent sometimes, it happens... that's why the accents are said to be "different" in the first place
@@squ34kyI’m not sure you understood the question Lol. I don’t think they are unaware that they sound different to foreigners. They clearly know and acknowledge their accent is very different from an American one. In the context of the video, they are simply saying that the Indian accent is the easiest for THEM to understand, since that’s what they are most familiar with & that perhaps the American accent is indecipherable to some? Maybe try using some perspective.
@@offredaintafraid7722well, it's easier for non native English speakers to understand, because we tend to not leave out any syllable.
yooo that girl's accent vanished the moment she busted out singing. That's amazing

The girl who sang the Taylor Swift song was awesome. I couldn’t detect an Indian accent at all.
liar. I could not hear it
A lot of Americans struggle to understand the various Indian accents 😅
As an Indian it's same for us ,, for our own various accents 😂
Because we both speak wrong English 😂
we understand british better
Let say American accent is too solf and flowy and Indians put more emphasis on word it's just you're not used to it
@@abhijeets Fair enough
Uncle Roger's Chinese accent with "Haiyaaaa" and "Fuiyoh!" tops every accent in the world. Lol.
That's Malaysian Chinese accent actually
Color is the U.S. spelling, and Colour is the UK English spelling. This American English devoloped in separations from English spellings in the UK. Also their wasn’t internet and air travel. So their was no ability for both groups to talk to each other and correct grammar. Also, the 13 colonies developed in their own way apart from the UK. And knowing who the 1st people were to come to the North America. Their spelling wasn’t the best for English.
This you can tell if you're talking to an American or another English speaker by how they spell.
Also color is actually the more older spelling!
@adam-cs6qb Well, just like most concepts I talk about their mostly a basic understanding of something. That has far wider understandings once refined.
I would probably have to work with people from another field or go to college to get an education in subcategories to fully understand something.
0:51 such a delusional guy 😂
as soon as she said shes gonna sing taylor's bridge, i sang the "is it over now?" bridge too!!!
As an Indian i think these ladies are really weird 😂 For me British Accent Sounds awesome to hear yeah but AMERICAN ACCENT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, its very difficult to understand British Accent and if you speak any accent in India except Indian accent people look at you like you're trying to be flamboyant 😂.and the way these westerns or brits say we speak, Dudes you will only know it if every state in your country has their own Mother Tongur in which they pronounce words fully without eating the letters in it 😅 specially those stand-up comedians need to grow out of their typical stereotype mindset.
If I have to discribe it
American accent = extrovert
British accent = introvert
Bristh accent = royal and reserved
American accent= a 'man' saying street boy in his vest and blue jeans
I said that in the short, but Shraddha Kapoor does a pretty believable American accent, although maybe someone more familiar with Southern California accents than I am may take issue.
That hostess had the most Indian accent 🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:43 Lmao that was actually legit 😂 Like night and day
American English is sometimes (not all the time) seen as the benchmark because America is the largest current superpower and trader with all the countries of the world. Many people in other countries learn English for business purposes and many of those businesses will be with American companies. So it’s a matter of how you plan to use the language. This is compounded by the fact that so much of western culture has been spread around the world by American entertainment corporations. That means that much of the English entertainment people are consuming comes with an American accent. Of course, all countries have different ways of speaking. I find the idea of saying one is “better” or “worse” as a matter of course is silly. The question is: better for what. Depending on what you want to do with the language and who you’re communicating with, one accent can prove better for a specific situation and worse for another.
8:39 "we don't nod our head when we speak", the guy in the next clip literally doing that 😂
Exactly 😂
We don't bother little stupid things so why don't you just avoid the video
I hope you could interview some of the call center hubs here in the Philippines about English accents too.
My best American accent *ahem*: "Hey baby. I love you. Oh my gawd, let's have a hamburger on the 4th of July! Merry Christmas!"
Indian English accent is 3rd most spoken... And easy to understand for non-English countries worldwide.
America and Canada share an accent. A lot of the times our accent is referred to as North American English. Given as how we are native speakers I would say our English is more proper, which is only natural as it’s our first language
There is no such thing as proper language or improper language if you can convey your feelings precisely then that's a proper language.
A language is just a language Don't ennoble a language.
This was such a fun video
That Samuel L.Jackson line was actually pretty good lol
British: Apologies/pardon me
U.S : sorry
British is way fancier
You made this up.
Pressed American's in the comments 😂
We never cared what Indian thought of our accent?
