Which accent adds an extra r sound to drawing?

[SandalsAndSand]

So that it sounds like drawring?

That’s all thank you. It’s annoying me that I can’t remember which accent it is.

TIA

Drawing, just as it's spelled 😁

This thread is unexpectedly funny. Must have helped you narrow down who the presenter is OP?! 😂

We really need to get MN to allow short recordings!!

@SandalsAndSand What sort of presenter is it. Age? Height? Physique? Type of show?

To me one of the Laura recordings sounds like Law-ra and the other like Low-ra.

I'd say Law-ra in my rhotic accent

@RaraRachael , try Lara then.

Lara is a completely different name to Laura

What do you mean?

I don't get it either

Same. Never has it been mentioned in 50 years.

@Humphreyhen , in Forvo, type Lara (or just about any word with an r in it.) then listen to how the R sounds different in the British version compared with Italian, Spanish or Portuguese.

You won't hear any difference, but that's you. It is an obvious difference to me.
If you listen to a word like genre said in French, and in English, you should hear it then. in French it's like zhonR, in English more like zhen-ruh with the ruh almost wuh/vuh.

I would say it like that. I have lived in the SE for 49 years but still retain some of my Birmingham accent, particularly the way I say a gerund (ing).

I do hear the difference, but I don’t speak Italian or Portuguese and don’t say r like they do so I’m not sure why it’s relevant?

I give up. You are not hearing it because you don't have an ear for it.

I just said I could hear the difference @Knowsley!

I think you’re imagining my accent and how I say r? And quite possibly getting that wrong.

Like pp, I also wish we could do voice recordings ☺️

I’m not sure why we’re talking about Portuguese etc?

@Humphreyhen , I'm not imagining your accent, so am not getting it wrong.

I think you are probably not hearing the difference between how most English speakers say the R in a word like Lara and how someone with a rhotic accent (e.g. Scottish) says it.

Do you hear the difference between the L sounds in Lolly?

There's no difference between the l sounds in lolly - they're both just l 😀

I rest my case.

I agree with this - what accent pronounces them differently? (And I can hear the difference between the rhotic and non-rhotic ‘r’ in Lara)

The first L is light and the LL dark. The tongue is in a different place when they're said.

Subtle difference in the l’s to my ear.

I have a rhotic accent (Irish) but the way I say r is not like the way (at least some) Scottish people say r. The sound of the r itself is different. Isn’t rhoticity just about whether a person pronounces the r in various positions in a word, not about the sound of the r itself? I don’t think I say r particularly like a Portuguese person or a Scottish person, more like the English accents in the clip of Laura upthread.

I speak some Irish too and the r is a bit different then (and there are two different r sounds). I’m talking about when I speak English.

You’re just saying what I’m saying using different words 🤷‍♀️

What does that mean? There may be a dark and light l sound in your accent but not in mine

Bathonians even put an R in the name of their city.

@RaraRachael , it's nothing to do with accent. English Pronunciation, Lesson 27 - L Sound: Light L & Dark L

@pictur
I’m not pp but you said
“The R is pronounced because it changes the word from Cat to Cart. Fam to Farm. Macket to Market.”

Then you said
“…it’s not pronounced but signfies pronunciation in most cases.”
(I added the emphasis.)

So that was confusing 😅

People could disagree that the r is pronounced as you first said it was, but be in agreement that it changes the pronunciation of a word if it’s there, which you said subsequently 🤷‍♀️
