Do you have South Indian influences in your English accent? Watch this. 

Then you havent heard shasi tharoor

You got to get your facts right. The comment's quite sceptical.

First of all, get your grammar mistakes right.

@@scholasticcare9156 Okay, mate. Point them out.

I guess your comprehension skills pertaining to the English language are utterly weak owing to the fact that you didn’t understand the video description. I opine you read that first and then construct your comment. Good luck.

@@skyriseenglishacademy824 "The video’s purpose is not at all to offend any community" - Ah yes, this makes all the difference. My bad! Great job in identifying the sound changes due to regional influence, really good, I honestly appreciate it. I just think, "regionally influenced sounds present in the accent of a SOUTH Indian speaker of English" (in my opinion) could be written as "....accent of an Indian speaker of English". Or maybe I am wrong again because of my "utterly weak comprehension skills"? I don't mean to hurt you again, good sir! Thanks for wishing me luck, I need it to change my "utterly weak" status to at least "bearable". I wish it for you too! Take care now :)

I have one question - You opine me to read the description "first". This shows that you are convinced that I did not read the description before I constructed my comment. Well, how could you then give feedback about my comprehensive skills based on the "FACT" that I did not understand what I read, when you know I did not read at all? :)

Burger I thank you for your suggestion. The only confusing element in titling the video as ‘Accent on an Indian speaker’ is that we nearly have 200 types of regional influences spread across all the zones of our country. In other words, an Indian speaker could be identified as someone originating from North, South, East and West and thus the viewers or learners would be perplexed about which zone I am talking about. I apologise if my comment came across as indelicate. Just that many people do not care to read the description and begin to criticise the content of the video, which is actually made with good intentions of helping people out with their language skills.

@@skyriseenglishacademy824 HE IS RIGHT ABOUT BEJITAABLE SOUND

yeah he sucks but at least he's trying XD

I changed my accent from indian to American and it's almost close to perfect. I use it when I play games or talk to somebody online but I still get judged a lot just for being Indian. They all expect me to have that stereotypical Indian English accent.

@@winviki123 well it depends upon the game. I have been with some great people from some games

@@ravenxrgaming4672 I'm not saying they're bad people but they just find it hard to accept an Indian guy with a foreign accent but it's not quite the same when ,let's say, a Brazilian or a Mexican speaks English with an american accent.

@@winviki123 hmm yeah

amit_ murmu I did not intend to stereotype South ever. Since many South Indian languages have strong vowels and consonant sounds and these often interfere with the English vowels and consonant sounds, some strong influences are bound to pop up. And it can be seen in most but not all South Indian speakers. I hope this clears some air. Thanks.

I agree with Abhishek. I am a north Indian but I spent my formative years in the South. As a result, I picked up an accent which is close to what Abhishek described in the video. This has now become my natural accent in adulthood. This is not an issue in the South where I live because everyone speaks like this here but when I travel elsewhere in the country, people point out my accent as different and "south" sounding. I would like to have a neutral Indian accent with no regional undertones

@Kamal Rohan Ask your Modi to stop terrorism!

shaji samuel I guess you haven’t understood the concept of accent neutralization. It doesn’t at all mean copying the native English accent but to speak clear without having to CHANGE your accent into a particular one. You better educate yourself on that and then comment. Thank you.

You are stupid, it is the actual English. We Indians speak with weird accent which nobody understands outside of India. So you better improve your pronunciation and use proper phrases.

Shaji, Please try to understand when someone is trying to offer help for a very genuine problem ! The examples given in this video were 100% correct.

@@manojmohan7264 bruh not every South Indian accent influences their fluency that way, the difference is the tone and not the accent itself 😂

Indian accent is rubbish. Ppl seem uneducated

You may be one of the few, but most South Indians speak with thick accent which is no problem if you remain in South India or Gulf Countries. Once you come out of India, you will realise that it makes a huge difference.

North Indians have thicker accent than the South Indians

@Poly Glot BS

Why south indians are so insecure of them??

@@hifrancis First teach North Indians to read and write your own bojpuri, hindi languages. Then teach south to shake off the accent

You fool, the accent in this video is not American but neutral. You first get exposed to global accents and then comment.

As I said earlier, you know nothing about accents and therefore believe I speak with a Bihari accent. I guess you have taken the content of this video too personally. Stop whining like a cat and get some job.

@@skyriseenglishacademy824 If you could have fairly done similar job commenting about other Indian accents (LIKE YOUR MUMBAI accent), I agree with you You just threw some words like "post alveolar fricative consonants' out of your half knowledge. Kannada and Telugu use less or NO "post alveolar fricative consonants" unlike Tamil and Malayalam.

@@sureshkumar-kx2xz so true, I mean I don't understand why people give criticism when they can't take it. I think english is thought in a similar way all over the country,we get the same books and the syllabus is decided by the central government for all. Then also people post videos like this.

Are Bihari babu south Indians Ka accent bare me bolatha hai Baki Indians accent tik hai kya saale chutye.

I guess your understanding pertaining to global English accents has yet to develop. Not all accents have to be either British or American, there's something called the 'Neutral English Accent which is displayed in this video. Thank you.

@@skyriseenglishacademy824I mean come on we are not looking to work as radio jockeys in Britain or America. The neutral accent is just bullshit and it is debunked cause every human being has a regional accent. Even shashi tharoor has a slight touch of elite malayali accent. Maybe the pronunciation like jero, bejitable, behicle by etc where northie people misspronounce a sound, should discouraged, other than that accent is fine.

@@muhammadswalih8923 not really. The anomalies which you have mentioned are only a miniscule part of accent problems an individual may have. There's a lot more which needs to be rectified if one wishes to sound absolutely clear and polished. If you deem a neutralised accent 'Bullshit' then that's your personal opinion and I respect that as a mature individual. Thank you.

@@skyriseenglishacademy824 I don't see French, Germans, Russians, Arabs, face any problem in their careers despite having a highly noticeable accent. It's just unnecessary. Maybe this video will be helpful for voice artists or radio jockeys other than that it's worth Nothing. It's not the 90s. There is no value in Impersonation or imitation anymore. It's all about uniqueness and originality. Times are changing. Bye

You fool, that’s not even close to the American accent. First go and educate yourself about the difference between the international accents.

It's not. It's a neutral accent.
