    I'd prefer indian accent honestly. Carribean accent is cool but I struggle to understand them. They mix french with some interesting african creole accent and it sounds weird to the ears.

    Most accents sound cooler than the indian comical accent so for the swag factor I'll give it to the carribean accent. But in general conversations, in terms of grammar and proper sentence structure, I'll go with the Indian accent.

    But again, I might have some bias though lol

    I've never heard of Caribbean accent, maybe you could provide some examples for comparison.

    Here is a popular comedy in the 90's from Britain about Caribbeans living in South London. Listen to how the elders speak:

    If you see a post in red font made by my username, that means that it is Pompey's post, not mine.
