5:35 Assam has its own language (Assamese) but it uses the same script as Bengali, so you'd see mostly the same characters. But if you do know how to read, there are things you can look for to differentiate.
Assamese - ৰ Bengali - র This would be the fastest way to determine if you are in Assam or not. Also if you see ৱ and ৰ, it's Assam But if you see ৱ and র, it's Manipur.
8:51 2 great clues for Maha - firstly that infinity-like character is only there in Marathi, secondly the man in white in the distance has a distinctly shaped white cap(known as Gandhi or Nehru cap), which is extremely common in Maha!

Google did India dirty with the Shit Camera Quality. At least for Gen 1 it was excusable. But not in 2022-24. Ruins the experience of India, We really need good camera for India. I am even fine with low cam like what Sri Lanka has with some coverage.
Your ability to recognise Indian states is better than mine. And I'm Indian, born, bred and well travelled. The first Aligarh (UP) pin you placed (roughly right) was literally where I've grown up as a child, and I still didn't recognise it. 😂

A heads up for the northeastern part, if you see the betel nut/areca nut trees, it is most likely Assam and if it is accompanied by Bengali looking text, then it is for sure Assam, because Assamese language uses a script most similar to Bengali. Also you'll see the bamboo fences like you saw, big rice fields, tea plantation (Assam is the largest producer of tea), and Assam type houses (also known as beton/baton architecture)like the once you called 'Bangladeshi'. Cheers!
Hiiii I'm From Mizoram, been watching zigzag for a while. Great knowing he knows my state even though the pronunciation isssss how can i say it awful lol.... Great vid
There's little to no street view in the Himalayan states of India (J&K, Ladakh, Himachal) and Island territories. They may be added later except the border regions due to security reasons.
10:26 these are betel nut tress...it resembles coconut trees but a bit slim...its very common in assam and some parts of northeastern states also eastern india as a whole...
Important context to note is that Bangladesh and India have very similar architecture because of the shared history of the countries, so be a little careful, a Bangladeshi hut could be in Bengal/Assam and vice versa!
so the things that you called tuk tuks around 14:30 are not tuk tuks they are totos and they are more common in north ish regions or the ganges plain and tuk tuks are genrally called auto rickshaws or just rickshaws. also in this entire vid never saw like a city is that intentional by geoguesser to make it harder or easier or smth idk but would really love to see a city one(btw toto are solar powered and rickshaws are cng powered and aree generally like more closed compared to toto)
I want to know too. I think it might be a downloadable script though not sure and if you can use it while guessing seems like a cheat but would be great for learning purposes
Congrats on qualifying for the World Cup! Would be cool if you did a video breaking down some of your best guesses or interesting moments from the matches at APAC.
Wow, I am Indian and I couldn't dream of guessing which state/ region those pics are from. Nor know half the details your casually mention about India.
Hindi and Bengali scripts are visually distinctive, even for someone unfamiliar with the languages. Here are some key visual differences: 1. *Overall Appearance*: - *Hindi (Devanagari script)*: Characters in the Devanagari script have a horizontal line (shirorekha) running along the top of the letters, connecting them in words. This line is a prominent feature. - *Bengali script*: The Bengali script lacks the continuous horizontal line on top. The characters are more rounded and less connected at the top. 2. *Character Shape*: - *Devanagari script*: The characters tend to be more angular with straight lines and sharp edges. Letters often hang from the horizontal line. - *Bengali script*: The characters are more rounded and have a flowing, curvilinear style. 3. *Distinctive Characters*: - *Devanagari*: The letters frequently contain vertical lines and angular shapes. Common letters like क (ka), म (ma), and र (ra) are easily recognizable with their distinct vertical structure. - *Bengali*: The letters are often more circular and open. For example, ক (ka), ম (ma), and র (ra) in Bengali look more like loops or spirals compared to their Devanagari counterparts. 4. *Conjunct Consonants*: - *Devanagari*: Conjunct consonants (ligatures) are often used and can be quite complex, combining multiple characters into a single, often intricate, shape. - *Bengali*: Bengali also uses conjunct consonants, but they tend to be less complex and more fluid than those in Devanagari. 5. *Vowel Marks*: - *Devanagari*: Vowel marks (diacritics) are placed above, below, and around the main consonant characters and are usually quite straightforward in their attachment. - *Bengali*: Vowel marks in Bengali script often appear in more varied positions and are sometimes integrated into the character shapes more fluidly. Here are some examples for comparison: - Hindi (Devanagari): हिंदी (Hindi), भारत (Bharat), पुस्तक (Pustak) - Bengali: বাংলা (Bangla), ভারত (Bharat), বই (Boi) By focusing on these visual cues-horizontal lines, character shapes, and the general flow of the script-you can distinguish between Hindi (Devanagari) and Bengali scripts.

5:30 That's Assamese language you're seeing. It is similar to Bengali but different at the same time.
cant help but feel like this video was motivated by the fact that zigzag's second most viewed video is "india just got added to geoguessr" lol
mbld man!!!!
Damn will this be there when i navigate elsewhere i like it there so im leaving as many comments as i can hopefully others can see it.
Have you ever tried playing ''TimeGuessr''? It's kinda like geoguessr but you have to guess the year the photo was taken in too
4:22 that was hilarious!

yes
Learnt about my own country on a geoguessr video. Mad.
TBF you have quite a good knowledge on India! Well done!
Huge fan from India
11:08 - how do you show mountains in geoguessr like you do here? Is it a shortcut?

Because you don't get money for it😂

Aww as an Indian this makes me so happy🎉 I’m definitely not as good at region guessing India as you though lol
Your knowledge of Indian geography is outstanding as a foreigner🎉😊
9:00 how do you turn that on? I assume it's an extension? Can't find it :(
It is a scipt called GeoGuessr Unity Script. You can go to plonkit script/tools page to find it (the first one on the list).
