how do you pronunce 'mountain'?
 

I say mounTEN, lately I hear a lot of people sating mounENN. I've noticed the T sound is dropping out of English....

I actually don't speak english ...

have you noticed a shift of constants and vowels in your native tongue? :winkwink:

Most American don't speak English , it's a derivative. :thumbsup

I think new languages stem from poor language skills. Just like like all languages.

I normally just say 'Fucking big hill'...

But yes, I always pronounce the T

yup and probably mounT(ain) and I say mounT(en)

Potato..

language is super interesting to me... are you aware that the southern dialect is a dialect from western England that is no longer used in merry ole just as the 'French' dialect in nolo is no longer used in France... language is a great way to track a people...

for instance Magyar's is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_language -related to Finish... another interesting thing is the relationship between Germanic languages and Celtic languages in relation to 'modern english' everything is always connected somewhere...

cucumber?

Actually, I just said it out loud a few times, and I actually say mounT(in) as in 'Tin Can' - For me to say 'tain' I'd have to be trying to speak in an exceptionally posh, over the top way.

Both British and American English says the T, the difference is "tain" or "tin"

But how do you pronounce "grass"?

cool, I always think BBC, I go somewhere between in-en, as in Tin and Ten. I do have southern cultural roots. i.e. Celtic cultural roots. is your identity more saxon or celtic? interesting stuff to me...

that's a great example for 'English' speakers... I like singers with great enunciation, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles are 2 that come to mind. and that guy in Ramsinne

Mow-in...

yup... that's the way it's going...

grass is in ass and not grass as in arse :thumbsup

Grassy Ass !

Fuck me! I'm speaking fluent Spanish now!

Just same as in most movies and series.

Nope!

It's pronounced this way

dentist.. den tis t dentist lol!!

I say mount tain

More interestingly. How do you pronounce pronounce. I say it like pro nounce but you wrote pronunce so I presume you say pro nunce which is a bit weird.

just a typo. I have issue with communication though a keyboard, however I do say pronunciation as in pro nunc e ation

Mountin. The only words I pronounce differently are those with R in them, like ‘car’ is ‘cah’.
But ‘perfect’ is ‘perfekt’.

In this area or a little North, they mispronounce many words. New ‘Bedford’ is New ‘Beffa’, wrestling is ‘rasslin’, himself is ‘hisself’, etc

Worst pronunciation I ever heard was in Boston, Cambridge actually. Woman from Medford (Meffa) told me she had eggs for ‘breffasiz’. Breakfasts

I pronounce it POT.

.

the one gets me is 'warsh' for wash and 'chauwfee' for coffee

today I pronounce pot as skywalker, tangie, guerilla glue keif and some other random weed in a vape pen :winkwink:

Mound teen :winkwink:

I'll go with British version then, I'm not an american anyway.

location?

There is no "t" sound in my pernunciation.

Mow-nn

Kind of..

As non English speaker, I say mounTAIN.
And I would say mounTIN before I'd say mounTEN.

moun ten for me.. I do like the European way to say Laura..louw-ra

I first noticed this from southern gals..

I say mountain as in mountain
