For example, if you have a guy who is an Indian (from India), and you say something like, > Sukant answered in his Northern Bhojpuri accent, "Yes. It is indeed true. Many people come into my store but not everyone for buying something." Now later in the story, do I have to write things that "sound" Indian. You know, I don't have to make them somehow sound like the Indian guy in The Simpsons. I figure that as long as I subtly mention it a few times in the story, the reader will supply it naturally. Maybe I can use some idioms from his hometown, if it is important to the story, but other than that I don't know. Say like a guy was from the South (like Alabama). Does he really have to say "y'all all the time"? "Howdy"? "Fixin'"?
