India, Africa, Southeast Asia.

Back in my old parochial school in the Bronx the priest was often pronounced ‘fodda’. The the nun would hit you with the pointer for A: disrespect toward the representative of Christ on earth

We had Nigerian and Tanzanian priests in Oklahoma. Nice guys, cute accents.
