Jaby! Reason why each person has different accent is because it's a "Mother Tongue Influence" because we have 20+ Major languages & over 1000 dialects.. so more than consuming English from different sources may affect their vocabulary/ pronunciation or sentence phrasing/grammer but their local language accent kind of overpowers & dominates resulting in a different accent. Even an Indian accent can surprise another Indian too if they belong to different regions & speak different languages & dialects. Edit :- thanks for so many likes & sharing your thoughts as well.

Difference in English accents is because of different native languages. Languages here even have different scripts.

"English is simple" is the understatement of the century. This can only hold true for someone that has barely scratched the surface of this language. English is a mishmash of numerous languages like Latin, Greek, Spanish, Italian, German and Sanskrit amongst many others and it can take more than a lifetime to truly master it.

2:33 I think it is because the video is shot in a big city where people from all over India would have come to study and since India is so diverse and everyone has a different first language, all of their English sounds different. And it's the same with indian immigrants in America but for them, adapting to american accent is an added influence to the accent.

In India who speaks English is Educated , even though they didn't answer some basic questions about India , basic math , science etc ....THEY thinks that speaking English is cool , they trying to showoff everywhere ,even where it is not necessary ...... Tell them that Speaking English & being Educated is two different Things ....btw Love yours reaction Jaby .....

Whatever content you May watch it does not have to impact your English but obviously you will have more power over the language to articulate better... My theory is that the reason why majority Indians have different accent is because every state has its own regional language and English is always a second language they learn because of which the tonal methods utilised in their regional language gets carried on to how they converse in English as well...

I work part-time in a fast food chain here in the UK and 9/10 I can identify people from kerala, tamil nadu, Andhra, telengana and karnataka from just their English accents alone. I'm from kerala myself and I can go even further and say which district of kerala someone is from just their English accent just coz of the way malayalam spoken in thrissur is widely different from the way it's spoken in kottayam. it's all in the intonation, how diff people stress diff words, flow and everything. all of this carries over from their mother tongue and I'm sure this is the same for other states and languages as well. that's why I have a problem with calling it an indian accent. there is no 'one' Indian accent. there are Indian accentS. multiple.

South Indian speaks more English coz there 2nd language is English. Other Indian have 1st priority to Regional language then Hindi and English is 3rd priority.

Every person's English pronunciation is different in India because in India people learn English just to pass the exam not to speak. (in short people don't learn spoken english)

I think an important thing to keep in mind is people's socioeconomic status. My parents were well-off enough to send me to a very good private school where English was the language of instruction and the first language I learned to speak fluently. We even spoke it at home, except for with my grandparents and the house help (which should tell you how privileged I am - we had house help!). Two streets down from our house, there was a massive Government school where if you started speaking in English people would give you funny looks. Our country has one of the highest wealth disparities in the world, so those lucky ones in the top few percent will have a lot better education (not saying mine was; I'm just upper middle class lmao) and speak more fluent English, commonly with a hint of a British accent in their tone, while those in the bottom few percent will be lucky to go to school at all, let alone speak English. Sorry for the essay lol, this video made me think a lot. Love from an Indian college student studying abroad and missing home.

It's just that Indian accent has high sound with low deep. Our English is more of well constructed in terms of grammar. For you guys from USA and UK English is your mother tongue and that's the language you speak from birth. But to us it's just an additional knowledge. So our subconscious mind is keep translating what we are hearing, and when we are speaking it's keep processing the things we have to say. When you are writing you'll go with well constructed sentences. We are writing what we have to say in English and translating what we are hearing in our mind.

As pointed out by many, english accent depend very much on dialect and Mother tongue of the person in India. It has much to do with culture and english education as well and it will be all different even if you are living in same society or may be same home. Even when Indians speak hindi , their accent vary . Its mostly because of regional accent

From what I've read from multiple sources, linguistically the fact that English only has 26 alphabets along with a pretty fluid grammar rule set makes it a fairly easy language to teach AND learn. It's fundamentally one of the main reasons why English can have a variety of dialects and accents, but still be used to communicate across a wide range of people since you don't need to adhere to a lot of rules to "communicate" efficiently. Mandarin/Cantonese in contrast, as pointed by Jaby, is a fairly complex language to grasp and takes time in mastering to fluency. Complex languages do not generally have multiple "dialects" or accents because of the very nature of the language and strictness in grammatical rules. Sometimes they might not even sound too different unlike say between Gaelic vs RP vs American vs Indian.

as some one already told below, their english accent depends on the native language they speak.

12:26 I do agree that Indian regional languages are slowly disappearing. In Pune and Mumbai many school students are choosing German/French/Sanskrit as their 3rd language subject. The major regional languages will stay for quite long but the dialects are diminishing at a faster space. My mother's dialect was Ahirani, I cannot speak and I cannot even understand it. There are thousands of youngsters like me from Northern Maharashtra region who have forgotten and are not aware of Ahirani dialect. All of this happened in just a couple of generations. My grandmother spoke only Ahirani, my mother spoke fluent Ahirani, my elder sister understands somewhat of Ahirani meanwhile my niece is completely unaware that this dialect even exists

Thanks guyz for your India-reaction videos. India has 22 official languages including Hindi and English. 23 States and Union territories do not have Hindi as official language - especially South and North East of India speak less of Hindi, where English is more understood and spoken. Hindi is the official language of 8 states of Central India : Bihar, Delhi, Haryana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. The Indian-English accent of Kerala is different from TamilNadu though both belong to South of India. Similarly mid and North-indian states' English accents also differ. In fact, our English accents are connected to and influenced by our respective Mother-tongues. Usually we think in mother-tongue and then translate to English, and that influence carries. :-) .

The best thing about jaby is that he does discussion in between the videos, that's very good Because no one really watches discussion after reaction

The main reason is there are many languages in India. But to be able to talk to each other. They need a common language. Though they could talk to each other

they should appreciate us . we r making tough efforts just to communicate to them.

I simply find the video funny. The interviewer herself is sounding funny and trying really hard to have an accent. Also, most people in the video don't sound fluent. According to me a good Indian accent is quite neutral influenced by the phonology of the Indian languages.

Aint no way the native languages are disappearing. We just don't talk it in front of camera. But if we talk about day to day REAL life everyone uses their native language in their own state !! With their native accent even within the states. Its just you don't see but everyone talks Odia here in Odisha. Everyone talks in Bengali in bengal. Regional and native languages can never fade. Even I can confirm hindi is not the first language for 80% of people in India. It comes 2nd and then English ig ?

Due to MTI issue (mother tongue influence) u can say each state has a unique accent due to India having varied diversity in languages and dialects.

Just take the example of Steph herself, she doesn't pronounce so many letters, like when saying "what" she would say something like "whaye". we could understand it, but its very irritating sometimes! I mean why can't people simply pronounce simple words clearly?

This is the crap that is fed to us. We are NOT taught correct pronunciation, intonation, etc. We are forced to memorise grammar rules, not understand them. We are forced to learn literal interpretation of poems, not analyse. We are forced to cram cookie cutter answers for board exams, not explore literature. This goes for native languages too. But the inherent familiarity lets most people understand the nuances of their so-called mother tongue better. The level of English we study even in 8-12 is below the international standard. English was introduced as a way to educate clerks for the raj, and our current curriculum perpetuates that. Just because you hear some weird accent or incorrect grammar from a foreigner doesn't mean everyone speaks like that or you know English better than they do. You are confusing accent with some misplaced standard of "correctness."

@@Fat_Paws I'm speaking about accent along not grammatical correctness or the standards of English, but as far as accent is concerned Indian english accent is far more clear and smooth than I'd say any of the other ones out there.

You are again mistaking accents you are familiar with "correctness." Why can't people pronounce simple words correctly, you ask? It is just that you are unfamiliar with the accent. An Aussie greeting may sound like "Go Die" to you, but they are being friendly, not wishing you ill. What we call the "American" accent is itself a multitude of different accents. I don't just mean the stereotypical southern accent. An average black person in NY city will have an accent more in common with a rich white dude living on 5th avenue than another black man from say Philadelphia. Differs by age too. Societal norms and segregation in the last century created all kinds of variants even within small geographical areas in the US. I have a lot of trouble understanding old people speaking with a mid-western accent. But I can mostly get what they are saying. Contrast that with two Irishmen talking, I have no idea if they are speaking English or Gaelic. Or Mandarin for that matter. You never know what an Irishman who grew up in Beijing will sound like to their countrymen.

I don't think English is dominating....I think people find it cool when people speak all kind of language......

It's true to some extent but not entirely! Now a days especially Gen Z they are not consuming much Indian literature & even if they read they would go for English edition. I get surprised with people who are of my age group the 90's kid... Simple Hindi/urdu words they don't know. Numbers & direction they don't know. Many Hindi Alphabets they don't know how to pronounce. So a Lil bit of encouragement is required IMO. Else it will meet the same fate like Sanskrit & they wud not be able to understand the beauty it brings. Kids would say Hindi/urdu, it's too difficult, doesn't make sense, pronunciation is difficult, who even speaks that!? What are you Ancient Aliens!? Because being snappy, obnoxious & cool for no reason is a trend. So I guess a Lil push is required. For ex :- i know modern slangs, lingo etc but I am aware of my language & maybe still very far from knowing it on a good level hence always curious to learn more, so love for our own languages is a need as much people are eager to learn & know English.

Steph is completely right. If your first language is not English, then obviously, your English accent would differ. Jaby said that if he goes to London, most people would have the same accent at least people hailing from that region, but that is their first language. If you come to a particular region in Punjab, then those people would have the same Punjabi accent, specifically people from a particular region. It's a matter of what's your first language. I think Indians with Hindi as their first language have the same Hindi accent across regions. English is not our first language, so of course, everybody's accent differs.

Yes that's true we actually change our accent according to our last movie, series in English and the accent differs from state to state also... 👍👍👍👍

I would say I recognize my accent is distinctly Indian and not American and I owned it while working in American companies. I never bothered to learn the American accent. My accent is what naturally works for me, so I stuck with it. Haven't had a single complaint from any of my American friends or colleagues, I was able to converse just fine. Also someone in the comments pointed out and I wanna reiterate, Indian accent really varies by where you grew up in India. Someone from Kerala and someone from Delhi speak very different English because this is really influenced by how they spoke growing up. I have to say, I found the Grey shirt guy annoying.. Dude was being unnecessarily extra while accusing Americans of being extra.

these kids are personification of hypocrisy 🤦‍♂️ " I feel very offended..." *Very Next Minute* "..Russian accent is funny..xyz is funny..."

I personally like Indian English accent sounds very smart like this young generation English accent very smart they have very smooth voice

I'm on the spectrum and one of the things that helped me spot it at 30 years old is that I copied every caller's accent at my job without deliberately trying. My manager was also very impressed by it. And this is something I've been doing all my life. I noticed it before but brushed it off until I did it at such a large scale - more than 50 times per day.

bro, Our accent majorly influenced of our native language..(and there are hundreds (if not thousands) different forms of all 25-30 major languages) .... so when a person from haryana speaks English... his accent is influenced by the haryanvi accent which is totally different from his neighbouring state Himachal Pradesh.... and HP'S accent is totally different from a garhwali person living in it's Neighbouring state Uttarakhand....and it pass it on to other states.... EVERY STATE of INDIA has a different regional language... and some states even have more than 10.... There is a popular saying in india" iss desh mein har 10 km mein language sur pehnawa change ho jata hai" ... this shows how diverse india is....

Wow, 4 years, I guess people take pride in regional language, now that other world economies are downhill and India is doing pretty well!!!!

1:32 I'm laughing so hard rn 😂😂

when we say, India is diverse country and here we celebrate diversity. It's not something only like a quote somehow this is the diversity we're all talking about! Forget english funnily people have different hindi accents too. It is like second world with different continents, languages, food-culture and everything.

I'd say since we don't have British people here to teach us English, we just pass it on however we can. So it changes based on where you are, what you've heard, who taught you, etc

Yes lady you are right...we have forgotten or not in a habit to speak many words which were earlier in our language..!

Steph is looking BREATHTAKING

MTI- Mother Tounge Influence plays a pridominant role in Indian Accent

The way we speak our native language makes our english accent. There is no single indian accent. Our country is so diverse in languages that there cannot be a single one.

Well I am from North India and its a fact that south India is more literate and has a more fluent English speaking population.

Lolz I'm 3days late... Anyway I'm from north east India and the theory Gaby shared in this video actually is true to some great extent because I've been into watching a LOT of american movies since when I was a kid and I'm 18 and my english accent kinda shifts the american way and I realised this back in 7th-8th grade and idk what's wrong with a big majority of the people here because if somebody decides to adapt to a new accent - they are most likely to judge that somebody. And I think it's totally okay to adapt to a particular accent that you like and every indian's english accent aint really same like Gaby pointed out and that's also basically because of their mother tongue, the tunes affect their english accent.

English spread because of colonisation then it became more prevalent because of want and need to communicate with neighbour countries and with time far lands as well, English just so happened to be understood by most.

I feel the state and the regional language also affects how Indians speak English

I had so many inputs that I low key wanted to get on a video chat with you and talk.

Funny part is there are indians make fun of other Indians for their accent. And they think their accent is the benchmark 😁

India has 1600 languages of which 122 are considered as major languages. So we Indians need one language to act as a barrier when we speak with people from other regions. We are proud to take other Indian languages over our own language so we choose a non Indian languages as a constant 😅😅😅

i think when we speak English our main motive is to be clear and pronounce the words properly
