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

i say bawling as borling.

Awe and Or are pronounced the same for me too, maybe awe is a millisecond longer. But “shock and awe” would be shock an or”

Awful is orful.

Listening to the man recording I can see where some of the difference comes from too. His d r is pronounced separately whereas mine sort of flow together (almost like a soft j sound?), so the beginning of the word slows down, allowing time for the minuscule pause before the ing.

more like d raw ing. Almost 3 syllables.

Whereas for me the dr is said quicker so it uses the second r sound to slow the word jrawring.

It’s discussions like this that make it so clear why it’s so hard for American actors to do “British” accents well when there is so much difference on one word in different parts of the U.K!

I don’t know anyone who says it like that. I’ve only heard it from people on TV

It's draw-ing in Scotland. No extra letter.

However if Carol and Carl were draw-ing a picture there's an extra letter in Carl. (You'll get this if you're Scottish).😆

Have you ever encountered a human who is not from southern or central England?

Very funny and interesting thread!

I'm Scottish, so no extra R's thrown in by me.
DH is from the SE so I'm used to hearing R's where (to me) there shouldn't be.
He would agree that 'awe' rhymes with 'or', but to me they're totally different. I can't say 'awe' with an /r/ - because there isn't one in there!

When I first moved to England, my next door neighbour was Pearl 😂

Haha! Pearl's name would be in peril 😉

Don’t be ridiculous. It’s an error that southern English folk make. If it was meant to sound like this it would be spelt that way

Not an error, just a different accent

No, it's definitely an error.

I mean, I think I am? It sounds like the R in or / oar to me. Maybe that’s where the confusion is coming from though, maybe we are thinking that an R has a different sound? Or / oar / awe all sound the same to me.

Huh? You don’t believe in accents? Which is the all supreme non-accent accent then? 😄

Heehee! Sorry, I didn’t realise you were joking before.

I really like the examples you’re giving me, and I’m sitting here sounding like a mad woman trying to make my mouth say them! I just sound like Delboy though, I know that’s not what you’re doing, but when I try to do it, it comes out sounding like that, if that makes sense?

Me too! NE London.

Draw-ing (Lancashire)

But how do you say the first bit before the “ing”? Surely you’re saying “droor-wing?”

Hereford / Mid Wales. Kind of dying out though.

Then you’re not pronouncing the r.
Really, you’re not, because you have a non-rhotic accent.
If awe sounds the same as or to you then you can’t be pronouncing the r, because there isn’t one in awe…

Run it past me again how awe would be pronounced if it isn’t like or? Can you sound it out for me, I’ve tried saying it in so many ways and I can’t hear it as anything other than “or”

Is it like “aw-a”?

Awe, or, ore and oar all sound identical to me!

It’s or that’s pronounced differently (the r is pronounced), not awe.

I linked this above, but here it is again. You can hear how ‘or’ is pronounced differently in different accents.
Like awe in some (non-rhotic accents), not in others (rhotic accents).

I’m not pp, but for me the second syllable in drawing is ing, not wing (or ring).
Just ing.
