India often spells its English words phonetically (English is one of the official languages). That is, phonetically to the tune of accents ranging from all the Indian ones and all those heard on popular English language tv and movies. It means that you have to often read things aloud (if only inside your head) and translate what you get from a thick accent.
Often you see quite amusing choices. My favourite so far was a "Chainies" Restaurant. I like how Chinese it sounds when you say it out loud.
