Not explicitly stated in-game, no.

What about outside the game? Pre-F2.
I think it was originally suppose to be Tibetan for whatever reason.

>What about outside the game? Pre-F2.
There is nothing outside the game. The "Fallout Bible" and FO2 are not canon. Hope this helps.

Shady Sands is a town, not a person. Hope this helps.

>>3919423
it was meant to show that post apocalypse is a state of the world you don't want to be in

>>3919423
It isn't. Only he is.

Vault 15 had people from different countries and religions as an experiment to see how they would react.

I said pre-F2

California was a shithole heavily populated by jeets prior to the nuke war. The nuclear apocalypse was a blessing to the white man.

>>3919423
It's a stylistic choice to play up the exoticness of a post apocalyptic wasteland as if people were reverting to a more primitive condition but if you want a logical explanation
>male and female Indian survives war
>have kids
>kid gets their accent
Simple. And it's safe to bet a lot of Shady Sands doesn't have his particular accent since Tanya doesn't

>>3919607
Everyone in the town follows his religion and calls the two-headed cows brahmin. There's far more than one considering his culture ended up being dominant.

the civilizations that would most likely emerge in the post-apocalyptic future would be ethno-religious ones. if anything, it should be more common in the world of fallout.

>There's far more than one considering his culture ended up being dominant.
A more likely explanation is that a very charismatic individual in the past influenced the entire Vault, and considering a nuclear holocaust just happened outside I would say that it's highly likely that the desperate Vault dwellers would listen to a charlatan peddling some asian bullshit in order to cope with their situation.
Mind you, the Khans also come from the same Vault.

Because a sizeable population of Indian-Americans made it to Vault 15, and their descendants significantly influenced the population's culture and language.

I forgot, was it stated the the Khans came from Vault 15 in Fallout 1?
Or I guess any cut content with the Vipers, as well.

>Aradesh

Closest real-world cognates:

Persian / Avestan constructions (-desh / -dēš)

Sanskrit deśa (“land, country”)

Meaning cluster: land, realm, place

Aradesh is not a random “exotic” name — it reads as:

“Personification of land / founder of the land”

Which is exactly his narrative role.

Yes, though I think you only find out by asking the Khans themselves and not asking around Shady Sands.

>>3919423
I think if you talk to the raiders in the Khans camp, one of them will talk about how they deserve to have what Shady Sands has because they came from the same people. The implication is that Vault 15 was a chaotic, multicultural vault.

>>3919423
They are the feather Indians not the dot indians, wasn't it obvious by the indian houses?

>>3919732
the khans are decendants of vault 15 people too

Because the creator wanted the setting to feel as "alien" as possible and Indian stuff was quite popular yet foreign to the mainly Western/Commiefornian demographic (e.g. Yoga, New Age spirituality, etc.). Even some of the tracks in the game were played with a Sitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6So4k5UqHw
Considered outdated today but then again no one asked Tim Cain this question yet.

please help me sir, i am indian

I always figured Tony Shalhoub just did the accent and they rolled with it and Avellone retconned something to make it make sense

Shalhoub's whole career in the '90s was "foreign guy" in Wings and Quick Change.
