Words that rhyme in your accent

[SleepingStandingUp]

Just said to DS

Count down from 10
Then count back up again

Which rhymed. Then I said it again and it didn't. Which made me think about the nightmare of writing rhyming books for children and the whole giraffe/scarf thing which defiantly doesn't work in my accent.

Also ftr I'm team:
My scone
Is alone
He likes to moan
But it lets his hone
His sculpting of bone.

God I hate teaching my kid phonics
Roll on September

@VetOnCall I did your words iny friends accent and they worked 😂

June and down rhyme
Pure (as in puah) and moor (moo-ah)
But moor and door don't rhyme.

@SleepingStandingUp do we live near each other?! I also agree with heard/herd and yes we say buz for bus here (which also sounds the same as hear!)

Phonics teacher, explain bomb and tomb please

There are lots of cases where the same group of letters can make different sounds though - omb has a different sound again in comb.

@Newuser123123

I'm really enjoying reading all your posts in your accents! Coke and cake sound the same when I say them.

Huh???

I'm from New Zillind. Everything rhymes because we only have one vowel, a very flat "i".

sigh

Again and home also rhyme in my every day chatter

Midlands but a bit North of Birmingham

No one has an er sound the other an ur sound like your

Singer and finger definitely rhyme. I dont see how they wouldn't. What's that song (which btw, song rhymes with tongue)...
"Pearl's a singer...."

Definitely sin-ger.

Buz for bus yes. North of Manchester for me.

June and down rhyme
Again and home also rhyme

I love your accent, you can come talk to me anytime

Scone rhymes with gone.
I use short 'a' in bath, laugh, bastard etc.

Singer has got me really perplexed though. If you didn't pronounce the 'g' wouldnt it just sound like 'sinner'?

I'm in the north west, my accent is broad Lancashire.

Oh the grand old Duke of york.
He had ten thousand MEN.
He marched then up to the top of the hill and he marched them down AGAIN (ag-en).

I've just had a quick listen and Elkie Brooks pronounces singer with a soft g sound, not like the hard g in finger or linger.

In "singer" you do still say the "g" but it's very soft and more of a nasal "ng" where as finger is a hard G as in "goat"

I never noticed that before, but I just listened and yes it is softer. And I keep trying to say it out loud and soften the 'g' but it comes out hard like Sheldon would say Bazinga! on the Big Bang Theory. I simply cannot soften it.

I remember from my time in Manchester the finger/singer thing. They don't rhyme in my accent. My ex pronounces bold and bald as bold and Paul and pool as pool. This caused some confusion once given that the two destinations of Paull and Poole are hundreds of miles apart.

@aShinyNewUsername I'm from Yorkshire and finger and singer do not rhyme for me 😂

Not too far from me,. I am in Brum.

Buz for bus has also reminded me of bunfire for bonfire which I don't say but a lot of Brunmies do.

Bury and scurry
