To beep is human...
Hopefully this glossary will be of some use to anyone intending to drive in India. Allowing for slight regional variations in dialect and accent the below list should provide a good grounding in the basics:
All to be performed using car or other vehicular horn.
One beep [can mean any of the following]:
Turn left, turn right, slow down, speed up, I'm turning right, I'm turning left, I'm small and you're big and I'm next to you so don't crush me, I'm big and you're small and I'm next to you so don't let me crush you, get out of my way, hello, road hog!, drink later?, how's the family?, have you heard my new horn, I have a new t-shirt, listen to how peaceful it is here and finally sorry my hand slipped and hit the horn.
Two beeps (as above with emphasis).
Three beeps (as above with EXTRA emphasis).
Continuous beep:
All of the above.
