That's more an Arab trait. I remember an incident, shortly upon my
arriving in Khartoum, where our driver in the middle of a journey told
us that he had to bark and bray. Just as I was confirming his intent
and sensibilities, he pulled up to a lay-by, got out and knelt in
silent prayer.


Judging by the people I know, I'd say that trait is much more pronounced
in Pakistanis than Indians.


Indian accents are variegated, depending on which part of the country
you come from, but nearly all of us speak with that thick accent you
mention. I remember how deliberate I need to be when I have to converse
with a westerner. Ask Bob Moore That said, we can pass by unnoticed
in the written form of communication
