For the longest time I’ve always seen Americans as bad at languages because most of them have a monolingual background. It’s refreshing to see someone who’s actually aware of languages and geography. And considering she is monolingual she actually did a good job distinguishing those accents so good job very smart lady

I’m singaporean.
And I wouldn’t have guessed #3 was singapore.
Not to invalidate her. It was a possible accent. But in my circles, it’s not a common accent.
Singapore may be small, but there are very distinct accents (along a continuum) especially between socio-ethnic groups

I can see why she didn't exactly get Singapore and Malaysia right, because both countries used to be one country called Malaya under the British at one time, the cultures and language spoken is very very close. Even the way English is spoken and the accents would have been challenging to tell apart. The 2 countries are very close in proximity, the land crossing between Singapore and Malaysia is one of the busiest in the world, and Singaporeans and Malaysians often have family in either country. So Singapore and Malaysia would have been a huge challenge, and even more so when you consider that both countries have multi-cultural Chinese, Malay and Indian populations as citizens, among other ethnicities. So yes, BIG challenge there! The other 3 English accents from the Philippines, Hongkong and India are definitely more distinct. I'm from Singapore, and sometimes it's hard for me to tell Singapore and Malaysia accents apart when both are speaking English. It's like how it's sometimes hard to tell a Canadian from an American, 'cos the accents sound quite close.

Philippines and Indian accent has their very distinctive sound sound she really did not have a hard time with those two. Still the way she was able guess Hong Kong was extremely impressive for a westerner. Most people dont know even the existence of Cantonese.
Also, did anyone else thought the Singapore one sounded like Japanese speaker on the first line?

"India and Philippine's accent is very distinct".. dude, wherever you go, there will always be an Indian or a Filipino in the workforce, tech, or medical. How can you not get used to it.
Shoutout to my Indian brothers and sisters out there! Lol

Indians & Filipinos' English accents are quite distinct for the world's English speakers, as these two countries are the main source of overseas Call Centres Support. Many people around the English speaking world would have had "familiar" with their accents, from the 1990 - 2023.

The thing with Singaporean is they have two different accents when speaking casually and formally. I can tell the singaporean girl try so hard to speak formally, if she try speak like she speak to her friend im sure everybody can guess it.

The singaporean doesn't sound singaporean and i'm from singapore 😅 She was likely borned in China and then migrated here thus the hint of china accent that everyone is talking about in the comment section.

That is NOT a Singaporean accent. I was HORRIFIED when she revealed she was from Singapore. Please do not believe that's what a Singaporean sounds like.

I'm a malaysian and I instantly recognized my fellow accent. Also indian and philippines is easy as well since their accent is stronger. Was thinking 3 was japanese or taiwanese until the part where she talks about her favourite color, the singlish just went wild haha

As a Malaysian who went through public school and university in England, and practised as a London Barrister, I think my English language proficiency is up to UK standard. Unfortunately, when I was applying to Georgia Tech for a Masters degree, they said that their regulations stated that only graduates from American universities or citizens from a small set number of countries like UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were deemed to be able to satisfy their English language entry requirements. When I politely and sarcastically wrote back to them questioning their logic, they insisted that because I was not a British citizen, I still had to do the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) to prove my English language proficiency!

She did really well, however the Pakistani guess was really bad. They basically have the same accent as Indians lol

I live in Singapore for 25 yrs...and I cannot guess the number 3. Shes probably from Mainland China and migrated to Singapore. The common accent for Singaporean is actually number 2.

Most of these societies have very large differences in accents based on education, socioeconomic status, and exposure to people abroad.

A good tricky one would be a korean person who learned fluent english the philippines. A lot of the times, you cant distinguish them from a filipino. That could make it a fun twist for these kinds of video.

1:16 I think what many foreigners don’t understand that English speakers from these countries are not on the same situation like Koreans or Japanese speaking English, because unlike in Korea or Japan, English is actually an official language where they come from. In their counties, the language is used as the medium of instruction at school.
In countries like India, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines, English is so important that for some segments of the population it becomes their first language. It’s the language they use at home with their family. So they ARE native speakers, just like any other native speakers from the US or from the UK.
I personally know people from Malaysia and Singapore who speak English as their first language, but they still retain their uniqueness, which is why they call their brand of English: Manglish and Singlish. They have their own vocabulary and sentence structures that are unique to them.
That being said, I wouldn’t be able to differentiate between Singlish and Manglish speakers either. But India and Philippines here is a dead giveaway. 😁
It’s really different from, say, my own country Indonesia, where English is considered a foreign language just like French, Russian, Dutch, Vietnamese or Swahili

I'm a Singaporean and #3 really doesn't sound a Singaporean when she did the first statement. Although the accent did appear slightly more when she was mentioning about her favourite colour but it's still not obvious enough. I would also assume #2 was a Singaporean, given her features. I'm sorry to say this, but #3 is just faking it too much (maybe for the show?) and not showing the authentic Singaporean accent. And too much makeup on her 😅

Putting a Singaporean and a Malaysian together definitely made it tricky.
