It often features a melodious, sing-song rhythm, with a notable emphasis on syllables and a clear, deliberate enunciation of words. Vowel sounds tend to be pronounced more distinctly. Consonants, especially ‘t’ and ‘d’, are sometimes dentally articulated, while the ‘v’ and ‘w’ sounds might be used interchangeably, and the ‘th’ sound is often pronounced as ‘t’ or ‘d’. The Indian accent’s cadence and pitch modulation can give it a unique musicality.
