Am I the only one that the English pronunciation of Indian people mildly infuriating?

Only if they call from Windows, anything else is fine.

@possum you mean Vindos by Windows right? 😅

No offense, but it will feel same if you're pronouncing few Indian language words.
Cheers!

English in india is indeed a fascinating thing to observe.
The accent depends on status and education. Higher ups in the indian goverment often speak accent free english, even with a british touch.

And then there is are the dalits the untouchables who escape their social missery by switching completly to talking english.

And then there is Hinglish, the mixing of hindi and english all written in latin letters instead of devangari, as it's easier to do text chat on the phone.

I'll never forget my fake tourguide in Agra at the taj mahal, who goten called out by the other legit tour guides. His response was in a very agressive hinglish. "Mind your business! Mader chod!" (mader chod = mother fucker)

It's a little annoying but still not as annoying as say Boston (and New England region as a whole) or Minnesota. Hell it's not worse than basic bitch accent either lol

@heyheni Whosoever told u that is a racist. Accent has nothing to do with caste. It depends more on the geography and the financial condition. A person from southern part of India will have a very different accent than a person from North India.

@Deepett You try to speak Hindi and let's see your accent.

@M1sf3t Every region has it's own language. If you ask an indian about national language,they would probably say Hindi or English depending on which part they are from. But every state has at least one its own language or a different slang. There really is not need to abandon it. But yes, majority of the population speaks Hindi.

@M1sf3t wait people live in North Dakota?

I thought it was a government conspiracy theory or some shit man

Depends on the Indian. It's always a bit unclear at first but some you get used to. Others you can't have a decent conversation with. I find that very frustrating.

It's also annoying that you have to constantly fix the sentences in your head as @lazysnail demonstrates so aptly:
"No offence, but it will feel THE same WHEN you're pronouncing A few Indian (just Indian here) words"

@hjk101 I don't see any point why you have to fix the sentence as it literally tells you what I want to say. So what does your brain do? first fix the sentence then interpret it?
So your brain can't interpret it without fixing?
(go ahead fix these sentences too)

@lazysnail sorry mate I realise that was very offensive and mean. Didn't mean to do that!!! I was a bit triggered by the try Indian part, it's not relevant, you won't need to try Dutch either.

To answer your question: No it does not have to be perfect but yes when things are structured wrong/left out it takes far more effort to understand. As I'm dyslexic I try to predict what comes next; these mistakes trow me off.

I'm annoyed when someone reaches out or when I need support because there shit isn't working and I get someone that can barely communicate. It's not fair to the unqualified person I'm talking too but also unfair to me as it takes at least twice the time it should. So please keep working on improving your English. I will too and be happy to work with you!

@M1sf3t I see what makes you go over to your neighbours 😉

I realize that not everyone is adept at learning a new language but when you live somewhere and decide to keep yourself so separate I do blame you.

Here in the Netherlands its a bit harder because everyone switches to English when they hear someone struggling. My girl did the effort though and is actually annoyed by fellow countrymen that are here longer and don't speak any Dutch.
