In the article they talk about extremely subtle pronounciation changes. It doesn’t seem like it was a conscious decision.
I used to have a job where I was the only non-Indian on my team and I didn’t go as far as to develop an accent (also I went home every day lol unlike these guys) but I felt like I was unintentionally picking up some Indian affectations/word orders.
Absolutely, my sister spent 2 years in Southern California (we’re from East Coast). I went out to visit and she had adopted a S C accent. The crazy thing is when she was talking to me she would switch back totally unconsciously, she had no idea she was switching.
