Well, been lived in various States of country like Delhi, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Bihar...I can easily understand what you are portraying. English is global medium of communication. But because of being from hindi speaking state of Rajasthan and been educated in Hindi medium school, I was never really fasinated by this language <br /><br />Yes, English in all parts of India gets a touch of religious harmony and the regional language. But it is true for all other languages. Like Hindi also is spoken in different accents in different parts. But yes, we speak any language grammatically correct than any other country. And that thing makes me feel proud. <br /><br />Different people have different attitudes over this language. Like if you go to delhi, delhi people have that 'attitude' thing in their speaking. But if you go to rural areas, you would feel little nervous speaking English before those people. The language is same, but where we use it, changes everything.Appuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345089985027500816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776528399856475712.post-24432193872891965132010-06-13T12:26:03.222+05:302010-06-13T12:26:03.222+05:30:P The word 'research' looks like a joke, ...:P The word 'research' looks like a joke, as you use it for my posts in your comment above, particularly AFTER the list you gave above. Mine is mere observation, an attempt to present little incidents that i found funny somewhere in real life, hoping that they would look interesting in written text too.<br /><br />And about people like us who point out errors when language ought to be no more than means of communication, well i don't think there's anything wrong with that. When the rules of a certain language are designed, they are meant to be followed, not that they really ARE, by all or always, but still, without those rules we cannot expect even a bit of homogeneity in the language's usage. So it's quite logical that a person who knows some of those rules, will not be able to help it but point it out when someone makes an error with any of those rules. <br />And the tampered form, i agree, is funny but as i said, it's cherishable, given the fact that it only projects our diversity. :)<br />And that's a great set of observations indeed. I wouldn't have been able to make a single word out of it, had it not been for a bit of Omegling. You must put this list on your blog too. :)Sugandhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305124645155396421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776528399856475712.post-22905798335195823272010-06-13T11:46:44.196+05:302010-06-13T11:46:44.196+05:30I like the way you do your research while writing ...I like the way you do your research while writing posts. Maybe that's what takes up all the time.<br /><br />A language should be no more than a means of communication. Its only grammar-obsessed hypocrites like you, I and loads of other people who point out errors so readily and enthusiastically. The tampered forms our English, or even Hindi, for that matter, take, is funny, nonetheless.<br /><br />Here's a list of my observations on English accents:<br />Most Royal accent - The London English<br />Laziest and most irritating accent - Pakistani<br />Ugliest accent - Carribean<br />Most un-understandable - French<br />Most stupidly-stylish accent - American<br />Most beautiful accent - The London and the Irish<br />Proudest accent - Australian<br />A rare accent with circular curvatures - Bengali<br />Funniest accent - Japanese<br />Weirdest accent - South Indian<br />Most illiterate accent - Bihari (myself being one ;P , though, not a Bihari by my English accent; since I speak more Hindi than English, whenever I use English, it touches the British way of speaking in a way, since that's the way I have taught myself mentally, ever since I got interested in phonetics)<br />The most un-English accent - French (I mean, its as if they are still speaking their own language)<br />Most comical/amusing accent - Yorkshire accent<br /><br /><br />Huh. Thats too much. I HAD to put this list down somewhere in written, lest I forgot. It has been revolving in my mind for years now.Tanayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354759473697100395noreply@blogger.com
