Very nice.”In the US, many customer service lines begin with automated menus asking callers to “Press 1 for Spanish, Press 2 for English.” To cut costs, several American companies outsource these services to India, where trained agents provide support to US customers. Some companies even train workers to adopt American names and accents.According to a Pew Research data “84% of Indians ages 5 and older speak English proficiently. This share includes 28% who speak only English at home and 56% who speak another language at home but say they speak English very well”.In the US, around 78% of people above the age of 5 speak English at home, while the remaining 14% speak languages other than English.
