sm332 Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I dont recall any mention of him growing up in Oz? Any ideas what that is all about?:hmmmm:
zubinpepsi Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 prollly he had gone to some coaching classes in chennai to get this accent..
Ram Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Aussie accent? Definitely no mate. He has a distinct Sinhala touch to his english, only he speaks in more polished way than most Lankans.
sm332 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 I know what an Oz accent is and can certainly distinguish it from a Oz accent. You would be hard pressed to find me a Lankan who thinks that was a Sinhala accent! Aussie accent? Definitely no mate. He has a distinct Sinhala touch to his english, only he speaks in more polished way than most Lankans.
Yuvraj4Captaincy Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 It was a mix of few accents....not oz but cheers at the end is the oz way..
Ram Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I know what an Oz accent is and can certainly distinguish it from a Oz accent. You would be hard pressed to find me a Lankan who thinks that was a Sinhala accent! Didnt say he has a Sinhalese accent. Said he has a distinct Sinhala touch to his English. If someone who has never known Sanga before, listens to him speak 3-4 lines in English, they can say that he is from Lanka.
Desi Cartman Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 he tries to put Pom accent but it sounds like a bad Aussie accent ... :haha: as i said in the other thread , a colleague of mine went to the same school as sanga and he was telling me couple of months ago that he just hates Sanga for his accent .. its not natural
Mandrake Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 To me his accent looks too made up....irritating actually
observer1 Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 it is an educated lanka accent - have met loads of people who speak like him - you will hear the 'lankan' bit towards the end of every third or fourth sentence. that is where you can spot the educated malaysian/ singaporean/ lankan accents - towards the end of a long sentence. in today's interview, he sounded like mahela jayawardane(dena) for a few seconds
iluvbrettlee Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 It definitely wasn't an Oz accent, I can say that for sure....
King Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 That isn't an Aussie accent, it sounds he has accent from nowhere or everywhere. No chance an Aussie one.
Rajiv Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 ..u joking, aussie accent..turn up the volume next time
