No one here says Craig as Creg, it's Crayg. Graham is literally pronounced that way. Tara being Tera depends on the person's preference, I've heard both used.

Why do Australians pronounce Nissan as Nihsin

Because we are from a different place and therefore have a different accent

You are a retarded nitpicker.

Where the fuck do you live? Everyone says Cregg where I live. Also Nissan is pronounced (knee sahn)

why do bogan faggots like you enjoy pissing in their own mouths?

>I love your adeedus shoes

Why do British people pronounce "Hyundai" as "Hiyuundai"? Please don't tell me Australians do the same thing.

True story..the first time I met a Beatrice, I mispronounced it as "Beat Rice"

How do you guys say it?

>Nice Jagyour mate

protip: there is more than one US accent

>axcent
>axs yous sumthang

adidas

USA BTFO

>Geoff instead of Jeff

Wtf America.

lmao shut the fuck up Lachlan

literally every american tv show i have ever seen they say craig as creg.
no, i just know how to pronounce simple names, something 350 million people have an issue with apparently

better than jagar u dumb fuck

The worst is when yanks are trying to say British place names.

Can a yank please vocaroo the following for me:
>Gloucestershire
>Leicester
>Hampshire
>Worcester
>Plymouth

Redneck detected. It's Cregg.

Yeah and Australians pronounce "fuck" like "fahk" haha I just fucking discovered accents aren't they cool? Like how people speak differently?

>adeedus

Glostersher
Lester
Hampsher
Wister
Plimith

There are objectively wrong ways to say things and then there are different accents, some words have more than one pronunciation, that's how accents fucking work

Glue-stir-shur
Lie-stir
Hamp-shur
War-stir
Pli-muth

And by the way if you wanted people to pronounce them properly you wouldn't have spelled them like absolute goddamn retards

@77854561
@77854581
No Vocaroo no (You)

Glue-cester-shear
Les-ter
Hamp-shear
Wors-ter
Plee-muth (like mud)

Give me my score senpai

>haha hey guys let's spell this town name like ghoulisterpgelsterphamtonshyremonfordmoth but it's pronounced "hampton" and pretend like the ones who can't pronounce it based on spelling are the stupid ones

So this is the power of the British

Not bad except for Plymouth

hampton mentioned

reminder that Americans are just Brits

makes you think

Hey Cregg, would you mind taking your Hoonday and driving Meegan to Walmart to get some urbz? We need bayzil, orEGGano, and cilantro. And don't forget the aigs, Gram Crackers, zucchini, and eggplant. Oh and remember to check your meer sweety! we don't want a neesan hitting your trunk like last time!

>speaking clearly when your mouth is full of hamburger

A-loo-min-um

We're more ethnically German than British you gump

no we aren't

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Americans

Dumb cunt

Literally judt muh heritage fags LARPing since being German is more special than being British here even though it's the supposed majority. Most "German Americans" still probably have 40%+ Anglo.

>However, the English-Americans and British-Americans demography is considered a serious under-count as the stock tend to self-report and identify as simply "Americans" (6.9%), due to the length of time they have inhabited America.
actually read your links before you post them next time you fucking idiot

>actually the article doesn't state that British Americans are the largest ancestry but that they're undercounted so I win haha

businessinsider.com/largest-ethnic-groups-in-america-2013-8

Dumb cunt

Why are they so lazy?

They already have short word but are so lazy they don't pronounce t after n or b after m really often

>In the 1980 United States Census, over 49 million (49,598,035) Americans claimed English ancestry, at the time around 26.34% of the total population and largest reported group which, even today, would make them the largest ethnic group in the United States.[11][12] Eight out of the ten most common surnames in the United States are of English origin or having possible mixed British Isles heritage, the other two being of Spanish origin.
go to bed you fucking idiot

You are a fucking retard mate.

> MUH KRAUT HERITAGE

Wow is it fucking 1980 or was that 40 years ago can you remind me?

And what did fucking Germans start Migrating in mass after 1980? No wonder everyone thinks you cunts are spastics

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Americans

It doesn't matter how badly you want to disagree, you are wrong

did they disappear? magically turn into krauts in the past 40 years?

You realize people die and ethnic makeup changes right?

Statistics don't lie, you are wrong and retarded

when 8/10 Americans are named snyder you'll have some ground to stand on but for now you just look like a fucking mongoloid

>still senying statistics
>too fucking stupid to realize millions of immigrants anglicized their names when they came here

Did you graduate high school?

*denying

Anyway many smiths are actually schmidts and this was furthered during and after WWII to avoid German stigma

You are fucking STUPID

so according to your logic, 20 million english americans just died out while the "german" americans were fucking like rabbits and a mass wave of immigration from germany happened that went completely unreported in the news

So according to your logic numbers aren't real

>tara as tera
I'll blow your mind. We say both Tera and tar-uh. It depends on the person.

Obviously I'd say it how you limeys say it around you lads, but this is how I say without having to look it up/think about it.
vocaroo.com/i/s1CDSfAgBvo4

self reported "statistics" aren't real

Well it's German so I doubt you're saying it the right way.

>self reported

Right, like when people report their British ancestry

>jagar
No one fucking says it that way.

The actual question that's always bothered me with the pronounciation in simplified english (american english) is the following: Why can't you just commonly use those goddamn pronounciation symbols like oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/about/pronunciation_english
?

Instead of that cringeworthy "-" separated bullshit like, let me quote:
Glue-stir-shur
Lie-stir
Hamp-shur
War-stir
Pli-muth

>Gloucestershire
Glau-chester
>>Leicester
Lie-chester
>>Hampshire
Hamp-sure
>>Worcester
This one is tough. I'd say Wuss-ter. However, people in East Mass say Wuss-tuh
>>Plymouth
Plim-ith

According to one of the largest ever genetics studies conducted, published January 2015 in the American Journal of Human Genetics, British/Irish ethnicity are overwhelmingly the predominate ancestrty in America at mean proportions of 20% in each state.
Of the 49 million people claiming to be German, only around 16 million actually are, (meaning there are more blacks than Germans in America.)

it's consistently been reported as a british majority since the census started, whereas the german "majority" is a recent phenomenon

Do you krauts actually learn that shit in school or something? Nobody in the US has a clue what those mean unless they look them up or they're a linguist.

>jag-wire

I gave multiple sources you've given none

But you just said statistics aren't real if they're self reported

>English, Welsh and Scotts are all the same.
OK, you can tell them that.

It's in every damn dictionary here and we tend to get in touch with it around the second or third grade in elementary school when we learn working with dictionaries. But thanks for shedding some light on the manner mate

Better but the Aussie is retarded to think anyone says Jagar

No problem lad.

>British
>Irish
>Same thing
That's a wide brush, we should add the Flemish, Jutlanders, Romanian Saxons, Dutch Austrians, Swiss, etc. to German then. Also, some English would actually have the similar genetics to lowland Germans so genetics might not be the best definition.

they aren't objective or trustworthy, but your only source is the self reported census
the point i was making was that i have the entire history of the census creating a trend of a british majority. you're trying to say that that has changed in less than a single life time

You have given multiple meme sources that usr self reported (useless) data. Do you happen to have a copy of the January 8th 2015 American Journal of Human Genetics? That's the source

30% of Brits have German ancestry

>still no sources

And that's mostly only in the south east of the country, mind you.

>international board
>thread about different dialects of english
>might be interesting
>enter thread
>nobody knows international phonetic alphabet
>pee-ple ri-tin sh-et l-ay-k th-is
>nobody knows any basic concepts of linguistics
>it's all useless, autistic, uneducated discussion
THIS BOARD IS GARBAGEEEE

>>thread about different dialects of english
stop projecting

this thread is about ridiculing 'muricans, not about linguistics

zzz

It is a source though, do you want it formatted in MLA or APA professor user

>egg -> ayg
>craig -> cregg

>name is "Donald"
>pronounce it "Dahnold"

>CalcIUM
>UranIUM
>LithIUM
>MagnesIUM

>Aluminum
Why America?

>>egg -> ayg
No one pronounces it like that
>>craig -> cregg
Few do this but prolly because they say it too fast

Yeah, but the American pronunciation of lieutenant is much more sensible than ours.

>Potassium
>Tungsten

Why so ugly names for kalium and wolfram?

>colonel - krnl

Ofc.

>Goebbels
>pronounce it "Gerbils"

redneck here: i say cregg
to me that sounds more redneckish than anything

I guess I should say "molybdenium" then

I was watching a drawing lecture and had to listen to two hours of some yank man saying 'aig' instead of 'egg'

Yeah they write Australia and read prison. Wgat the hell mate

>yanks pronounce "Schwarzenegger" as "Suorsneggöh"
