An Indian accent is a way of speaking that is characteristic of people from India. There is no one “Indian accent,” as there are many different languages and dialects spoken in India. However, there are some general features that are common to many Indian accents.
One of the most noticeable features of an Indian accent is the use of retroflex consonants. These are pronounced by curling back the tip of the tongue towards the roof of the mouth. For example, the “t” sound in “roti” is pronounced with a retroflex consonant.
