[h=2]Umrikan vs Angrezi: Why Donald Trump has trouble understanding us, and vice versa[/h]Referring to Indian call centres which respond to queries from customers in the US, America’s would-be president Donald Trump has said that he has trouble understanding Indians when they speak.

Because we Indians, call centre workers or others, speak English, or Angrezi. Whereas Donald, like his fellow citizens, speaks Americanese, or Umrikan, as we call it. It is this language barrier which makes it difficult for Americans to understand us, and for us to understand them.

No need to ape anybody. In silicone valley Trump is not liked very much. So it will not matter, and Obama is not a big fan of trump either.

There is no need to be emtional. The other candidate has criticised his mocking at 'Indian accent'.
