अमीर भारतीय भाषा (Sorry, as I cannot write in Hindi, I am not sure if this translation is accurate for -- The Rich Indian Language)
I have worked in Singapore for <1 year. During this time, I have spent 80% of my waking day with Singaporean Indian, and pure mainland Indians as colleagues or company owners.
They were most comfortable speaking their Mother tongues compared to English or any other language. They come from the different rich cultural places in India, from South India (Tamil, Kerala), Surat, Gujarat, Bangalore, and Mumbai,
I will add more insights into my observation and experiences with Indians as I had a 2-year's worth of Journal entry just purely about them but for now, I will list down some of the words I've learned during my stint with them.
They have laughed at my habit of documenting all words I've come to know in my little beloved excel sheet meant to capture my passion for language.
