Well, again, I said "to western ears." Along the same lines, German sounds guttural, various Asian dialects sound nasal *to western ears*, Argentine Spanish sounds slurred, and we won't go into the clicks and pops of, say, Swaziland. So no offense was intended, and there was no racism or derision behind the question.
Perhaps I'll ask Kirpal to describe how American English sounds to a native Hindi speaker.
raz-----Just a little humor, we all know that no offense was intended. But on that topic, being a native Honduran, Bianca only needs to hear a few words from a Spanish speaking person, and she can tell you EXACTLY what country they are from. If the person is from Central America, she can tell you what region of the country they are from also.
