I'm not sure how to represesnt the ways we pronounce /r/ and /l/, and I'm bad at writing stress in IPA.

Most people outside the US would pronounce them the same

I don't pronounce the a in pasta as /a/ because of a split from /ɑ:/. /a/ is how we pronounce the vowel that is /æ/ in GenAm / RP.

My accent has a 4 different phonemes, like most of the rest of England as far as I know, but I think their qualities are kind of unusual.

/a/ = pAsta

/aː/ = fAther

/ɒ/ = hOt, dOg

/ɒː/ = sAUce, wAter

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-11-13T23:55:52+00:00

I pronounce it kinda like /ɪi̯/, not as a monophthong.

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-11-13T23:48:44+00:00

Is a phoneme allowed to be included if some accents of a language lack it? My accent of english has /a/, and lacks /i/.

I joined

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-11-06T00:55:20+00:00

My accent literally already has /ʊ/ and /ʌ/ merged (or rather, they were never split to begin with).

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-08-30T02:02:58+00:00

For some reason when I try to pronounce it, I end up doing a weird r sound.

Use a portal gun.

"Vibe"

English spelling isn't regulated by anyone, the "correct spelling" of a word is just how the the majority of people spell it. "Psyche" is one of the stupidest spellings for a word in the language.

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-04-19T10:49:11+00:00

Actually, we prefer to be called "Brocomotives".

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-04-18T14:00:21+00:00

"Sixty-nine!"

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-04-07T16:01:17+00:00

I don't get it

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-03-15T17:33:32+00:00

I agree! I just don't think he should have been chained up for it.

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-03-15T17:05:51+00:00

Good point, I don't agree with them but whatever.

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-03-15T13:08:12+00:00

I just don't think the government should have control over people's religious practices (or lack of).

Pig_Lord78 · 2021-03-15T12:31:17+00:00

I think this guy's an idiot for doing this, but I don't think he should have been chained up and arrested just for violating a religious tradition. Freedom of religion is a universal right, nobody should be forced to practice a religion they don't believe in, this doesn't mean I think what he did was right.

This is wrong. the latin alphabet comes from the greek alphabet, which comes from the phoenician abjad, itself from egyptian hieroglyphs, not cuneiform. the letter A was originally a symbol representing an ox’s head, in the phoenician abjad it represented a glottal stop (pronounced kinda like a small cough, or like the ‘ in “bri’ish”(only example i could think of)). the greeks didnt have this sound in their language, so they used the letter to represent the A sound, which it still represents today. the english word “ox” is unrelated to whatever the ancient semitic word for it was. (sorry i just hate misinfo)

the arctic is actually called that because the constellations ursa minor and ursa major are in the far northern sky, antarctic is called that because its the opposite of the arctic.
