I have heard that best version in terms of diction, inflection, polish, style, etc. for the following languages are these areas. Agree? Keep adding to the list too.

Hindi ------------ Delhi

Telugu ---------- Krishna/Godavari

Urdu ------------ Lucknow

Bengali ---------- Calcutta

Marathi ---------- Pune

Kannada --------- Mysore

Oriya ------------ Puri

Punjabi ---------- Amritsar (really it's Lahore, but that's in Pak)

Tamil ------------ Madurai (or is it Ceylon?)

U.S. English ------ Midwest

C'mon, the Hindi spoken in Delhi is probably the worst. People mangle grammar every which way. Aap idhar aajao is a typical mangling.

I've no idea where Hindi is spoken best but I suspect it spoken better in Lucknow than in Delhi (although I've never been to Lucknow).

For Kannada, I'd rank Mangalorean Kannada as better because it is closer to written Kannada and spoken with a lilt as well.

I would say Kanpur. The Hindi people speak there is as close to textbook Hindi as I've heard.

Or even Allahabad. Lucknow is more Urdu.
