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

Another vote for West Midlands / Black country

Like ‘dror-ing’?

Perhaps. I have a pretty typical southern (not west country or London) accent. Maybe it’s what an R actually sounds like that we’re all disagreeing on!

I'm saying it without the r, and I thought I had quite a plummy southern accent. If I put the r in, it doesn't sound unfamiliar at all, so I guess I must hear that a lot.

The difference for me is how much I move my mouth. I can do it with the r, almost like a ventriloquist, I'm not outwardly moving my mouth, the sound seems to be coming from much further back.

My natural pronunciation with a w, requires me to quite obviously pout my lips. Or and awe are massively different.

Are you from Yorkshire? That’s the only accent I’ve heard that doesn’t say drawring

I'm Cornish and don't say the r. However, I have always been teased by my Cornish family for 'talking posh', I've lived in the SE for the last 30 years, and I thought I spoke more-or-less like people here, no-one ever guesses I'm Cornish.

Even when I was at school in Cornwall, having been born there, the other kids would tease that I was posh.

Those who don’t put an ‘r’ in, do you say it like “drorwing”?
I genuinely can’t get my head around how not to put an ‘r’ sound in.

My husband says dra-wing

You need to really pout your lips over the w I think

The r people are doing something towards the roof of their mouth, as far as I can tell, and it's so natural to them they're struggling to do it without.

I'm almost making a whistling face with my lips. And less movement of the tongue I think.

South Lincolnshire!

No tongue movement here and I put the ‘r’ in. The only tongue movement is the initial ‘d’ sound.
Tongue doesn’t go anywhere near the roof of my mouth?

So he says “drah wing”?

Hmmm, that's strange. I can't make an r sound at all without moving my tongue!

More like dro-wing

It’s called an ‘intrusive r’ and occurs coming in non-rhotic accents. Or and awe are homonyms to me.

I do it too, but not consciously, so it’s like it sounds like an r, but I’m not saying an r.

If I purposely said an r in drawing, it would sound different, to me, but maybe not to others listening, but noticed the emphasis is different.

If I say it normally, emphasis is on ‘draw’, and purposely saying the r the emphasis is now on the ‘ring’.

I now look crazy sitting saying drawing over and over to myself 🤣

My tongue stays still and the sound comes from kind of resting my top teeth on my inner bottom lip and then opening my mouth to release my teeth off my lip?

Oh that’s interesting. So the a becomes an o?

I say draw-ing like you OP. I’m southern but around my new area Essex Kent - estuary accent they say draw ring

I am in the south and I am well spoken but not private school well spoken and I say drawring. I never knew it had a name before this thread. I have never ever thought about it before.

In my area anyone saying draw - in’. would be indicative of a more common accent…can we say that these days?

Yes, a short sound. All my Yorkshire friends say it the same (south and west yorks)

I'm finding this the most curious point of all. That the people saying w sound more common (for want of a better word). Whereas I've always had a poshish accent, but naturally say w. If I try and put an r in, I find I'm doing quite a decent Scouse accent.

Yes me, I’m from Somerset. Child of pedants who say the same so just goes to show that pedantry backfires on everyone 😆

I've tried this for a full 5 minutes, and can't seem to get anything close to an r! Hehe

How do you do a “Grrrrr” sound?

It’s like that but without the G.
