>>hmm you sure thats not 'brother' and not bother ...<<
It's certainly not 'brother'. It's: 'Bother, father spilled hot coffee in the car park.'

Where is this speaker from?
>>hmm you sure thats not 'brother' and not bother ...<<
It's certainly not 'brother'. It's: 'Bother, father spilled hot coffee in the car park.'
>>well the way they pronounce the vowels ... and I got a few ppl around here to actually say the phrase ... almost matchs.<<
Do they make 'bother' sound like 'brother'?
Ah. No. This speaker makes a clear distinction between 'brother' and 'bother'.
hey! who recorded me with out asking!? jus kidding. but it does sound like a fellow torontonian.
I didn't think so, but it's not exactly the most obvious accent. My guess is Canadian.
All I can tell is that it's not from the Maritime Provinces. Other than that I don't know; as far as I know Canadian speech isn't very different west of Montreal.
>>All I can tell is that it's not from the Maritime Provinces<<
That is true.
Well... I'm from Toronto and I can tell you that people who live in metropolitan Canada speak like that, but when you start heading out into the smaller towns the speech becomes more "traditionally" Canadian (aka Newfie). I find that this is true all over North America... in big cities the speech is generally more "Generic North American", like this person, but you start getting into more pronounced accents in the smaller cities and towns.
All I can say is that I didn't hear anything that would be inconsistent with standard urban Canadian English west of the Maritimes. It could possibly be Toronto.
It could be from somewhere else, but that would mean I missed something important. |
