The most proficient English speakers I know are all Indian-Americans. And I love the accent.

When they slow down enough to understand them.
You’re correct.
Africans are the same. Very precise.
I was in the audience at a symposium once where the host, a gentleman from Africa said “We will now tolerate some questions from the audience.”
I thought that was rather arrogant then realized it was a very precise use of the English language.

India still maintains a lot of their historic ties to the English empire in their education system. More so than the English.
Arranged marriages helps also.
