Accents and speech patterns in foreigners are almost always reflective of either norms within their native language, or overcompensation for a feature that their native language lacks. For example, Russian has no definite article ("the"). So you will frequently see Russians either forgetting to use "the" when it's grammatically correct, or inserting excessive "the"s where they don't belong because they know it's supposed to be in there somewhere, but they don't fully understand how it works. Indians probably speak with a sing song inflection because that is how their native language is spoken.Is there a traditional reason Indians always talk in that sing-song-y voice, especially when they speak -- or attempt to speak -- English?
Is it a genetic thing?
