Manish has a post up on this YouTube video of a South Indian movie where the male lead has an out of control bouffant. The weird thing is that whenever I hear South Indian languages I always get a weird feeling like I’m listening to aliens chattering in an Indian accent. Myself, I can speak Bengali with about an 8 year old level of fluency, and so Hindi (an Indo-European language like Bengali) doesn’t sound too weird and I can make out many of the words…but when I hear people going off in Tamil or something it is really strange (the languages of South India are Dravidian, not Indo-European). Imagine people speaking Japanese with a strong French accent, and you get what I’m talking about.
Samples: This shit is Bengali. This is Hindi. And here is Malayalam (ignore the midgets). And you thought Britney Spears was a freak show.
