90% of the vowels coming out of a New Zealanders mouth.

I'm p sure the word "sixths" violates English phonotactics and should be stricken from the lexicon or maybe we can donate it to some Slavic language

I know the extraneous "r" in words like "wash" has been mentioned (people who say "dishwarsher" should be euthanized), but has anyone mentioned the weird insertion of a preliminary "h" sound in words like "whale"?

Hearing it as "huh-wail" always makes me cringe.

I mean it is "whale" not "wale" I tell you what

um well uhh technically it's not two separate sounds, it's a voiced velar fricative with rounded lips :downs:

it's a voiceless rounded bilabial velar glide you doofus!

e: on second thought I guess whether a voiceless approximant is a glide or a fricative is meaningless but it's still voiceless

It's 100% shibboleth but if you go to Tempe you might notice the locals emphasize the second syllable. Tem-pee, outside of there I have only heard it spoken like Tempy.

are you sure it isn't tem-PAY and the name of a small island near Mombasa because that's what comes to mind when I see it
