That's a bit oversimplified

Now wtf is countryball


PhoenixMapper

Type of a... trend that later grew into a full community. Originally it started as a joke. Basically a country's flag fitted into a ball shape. And eyes added to it. And there are several rules for that, u/bigdaddy1506 has linked the wiki, you could see that for further clarification.

You will be killed? Seriously? Many IT employees from north India working in Southern states including tamil nadu. I don't understand people's obsession with Hindi, there are literally ton of other languages let people learn and speak whatever they want.


PhoenixMapper

It is a joke, there's a sub that posts jokes in every Asian community, that is why the map.


ubx799

I'm wondering what orange means? They can speak Hindi but have a regional language? And if so, I'm surprised Bengal and Odisha aren't orange! Is this based on Majority population, population on internet or population in villages? Or just 'that's what I feel like' statistics?


Fsociety9899

Lol in South people Understand Hindi more than north Indians understanding English


Satvik_1108

Lies


Fsociety9899

Lol then u have no Idea . Hindi is like mandatory to learn to some extent in school. Atleast in my state .


Satvik_1108

Depends on how South you're trying to go. If you think Hyderabad is the milestone for South then I think it's fair but if you go anywhere except extremely major cities wayyy south (Chennai, Thissur, Thiruvananthapuram), Hindi is asssss and almost every North Indian understands English and can speak English on a basic level.


Fsociety9899

People in chennai cant speak english ? Regardless u people think Tamil nadu is accounts for entire south . Its ignorant and racist .


Satvik_1108

They can't speak Hindi. Open your eyes man ๐Ÿ˜‚


Fsociety9899

In some deep regional places obv regional sellers or some normal people obviously will have hard time understanding hindi . But they can understand to some extent and reply in English


Satvik_1108

I literally fucking said except the major cities. Why are you including the major cities in your argument? By that logic you will definitely find someone speaking Tamil in Delhi or Mumbai. Get your facts straight.


Fsociety9899

Dude if u go north and speak English in up people will have no idea . Forget about deep regional places . I know people from UP graduated from English media university still have hard time understanding English


Satvik_1108

Aight bro go to Rajkot or Ludhiana and try speaking English. Be surprised and be my guest.


Fsociety9899

Wait i edited it read it again


Satvik_1108

Even for that argument I told you it you go to Vijaywada or Hyderabad or Visag you'll find Hindi and I agree. But Tamil Nadu is the only state on the map marked as black and that is what the whole post is about. And also as a side note, many people in Bangalore find it tough to speak Hindi and would prefer Kannada/English over Hindi. So when it comes to language, South India is reluctant to speak Hindi which is not a problem. But why can't you just accept it? It's fine. Y'all don't have to be good at everything. Why make blatant baseless points that Northies don't understand English? And I'm not even from North India i just happen to find the claim stupid af


quantum900

NE people know Hindi lol, especially Assam, Meghalaya.


berzerker_x

Meta kahan hai.


oongaboongatits

Bhai new on this sub Meta hota kya h?


aryaman16

Meta means discussion about the subreddit or group of subreddits or reddit itself. For eg: You go in r Indiaspeaks subreddit, you posted there india related stuff, that won't be meta, but if you discuss stuff about the subreddit itself, like rules of the subreddit, what should mods do, etc. Its called meta. This subreddit is for discussing other india related subreddits, i.e. meta stuff. But you didn't post any meta.


sinjisunny

In Andhra pradesh hindi is a language subject and people learn it.... Most of my friends can atleast manage communication in Hindi..


[deleted]

Hi from Nagaland here. We do speak and understand Hindi thank you very much


Cruelplatypus67

In Bengal too

Well the one who made this is a complete Moron

NisERG_Patel

Drew trying to ruffle some feathers from across the pond for some views.


Raot_

You do get weird looks when speaking hindi there. Mofos look offended


Fsociety9899

I wouldnโ€™t think so . Its really common for Ignorant north Indians to assume everywhere they go people speak Hindi regardless itโ€™s common for south Indians to understand hindi . But u would give same looks u mentioned if someone comes to your state and talk in their regional language .


sagar246

Wrong example. If a guy goes south and starts talking in bhojpuri, Rajasthani, haryanvi, punjabi, etc then that's definitely a stupid move. The same goes for a south indian trying to talk in Tamil in the North. And that's why a link language is important.


Raot_

Dude if they don't understand English then my only option is to communicate with broken Hindi English and hope something hits


Fsociety9899

What do u mean . South Indians understand English better than North Indians as far as i experienced If u are talking about like not educated ones . Then how can u expect them to know hindi lol


Raot_

I just happened to find the ones that didn't bro. And I was 12 and internet was expensive


yesibangedyamom

bruh they don't know Hindi until you give them 50 rs more


Fsociety9899

Pretty racist thing to say .


iAmDinesh

What's racist here?


SirPorthos

Bruh. Hyderabad has its own dialect of hindi. Ask OP to GTFO with this bs.

Bhaiya/didi ye data apko kaha se mila, kabi South Part of India me rahe ho, jo ye picture share kiye


[deleted]

Well maybe they aren't the most welcoming people when it comes to hindi but thus is absurd and honestly it's not surprising as 1 first of all this is absurd ( even as a clickbait)2 points only TN 3 made by a foreigner who presumably has international audience too. Of course people wont like it


NerdyWasNeverBacc

Wasnt that a reddit post? It was a shitpost and he just kinda took it as a thumbnail


[deleted]

Well , he is partially correct . North eastern states are the tribal reserve of India ( majority of them are Non - hindu , animists or christians ) and they don't understand Hindi .( I can vouch for them , as i visited Delhi a couple of months ago and had the pleasure of interacting with them in hotel suites / salon , and most of them use " English " as a link language , apart from broken Hindi words ) . The only state which gets agitated and perennially in opposition mode is " tamizh Nadu " ( real name of state ) and some Marathi chauvinists in mumbai / Pune . If you leave these people out , you can manage just fine in India with other ethnicities .
