    Thumbs up *Post words for your regional english dialects/ or for people from other english speaking countrie

    To break it down I was merely curious to how some people pronunciate their words from either similar/other regions within the U.S. in terms of dialect as well as people from other territories to words they may not be familiar with within their distinctive variations in their own vocabulary. Feel free to post your own words you would like to here from other people from your perspective. OR respond to another. Feel free to do whatever.

    You can use this: http://vocaroo.com/

    For example for people within U.S.:
    Aunt
    Been
    Caramel
    Pecan
    Roof
    Marry

    My recording from a Northeastern/New England "perspective":
    http://vocaroo.com/i/s1GOUvMbNjP9

    For people in other English speaking territories/anyone:
    Trash bag
    apartment
    principal
    elevator
    faucet
    pacifier

    http://vocaroo.com/i/s01IpTUriWvx


    *Note this is simply a thread to get interesting perspectives in how each distinct dialect progressed in its own right. Anyone can partake in responding/ making their own lists with their own criteria to how you want people to respond to it overall.

    Thanks in advance.

    From the American Midwest:

    Aunt: ANT
    Been: BIN
    Caramel: CAR-mul
    Pecan: puh-KAHN
    Roof: same as you
    Marry: same as you

    Interesting thread.

    ^^ The words in the second list are more characteristic of America than those in the first. I'll do them all when I've got time.

    Interesting thread.
    What sparked my interest was this Harvard 2003 study that shows the variations within the dialects within the U.S.: http://www4.uwm.edu/FLL/linguistics/dialect/maps.html

    As well as the notion that each variation of each distinct terminologies that is distinctive in British (English), American, Canadian and Australian English that evolved its own slang, consonants, etc.

    Which is why I thought it would be interesting to get to experience it in its own right.

    Example of the Eastern New England/ "Boston" accent that is nearly known by some / May sound distorted since i have a slight sore throat:
    http://vocaroo.com/i/s0uZgn1oPEKK

    Where the "r" is replaced with an "h" So instead of "I parked my car in Harvard yard" it is "I pahked my cah in Hahahd yahd."

    I have a Mid-Atlantic/North-eastern hybrid accent. It's common in eastern PA (that's not where I am from though).

    True in some respects since everyone is more accustomed to what they grew up in. When I hear the "roof" pronunciation; I perceive it as the long "oo" sound as in s"pooooo"n; maybe i'm biased but when I heard the "ruff" sound i think of the "ou" sound as in "rough" that i would perceive it as the long "a" sound which would follow "e-nnn-a-fff" in enough which I can't detect in the audio.

    Anyone here differentiate between Mary/merry/marry? It's listed in the study Armstrong linked to, and I've heard of it before, but I don't get the difference. They're all pronounced the same where I come from.
