Bughwuch Cartographer Member # 1851	written Tuesday, February 22 2005 15:09 Profile Homepage #25 Yes, excellent... Mwahaha! More! I'll even provide something little myself. I admit, though, that I don't really sound like that. I know most of you can figure out how to, er, work it so it's more realistic. Of course, it's some years old, so even then it isn't a particularly good example of my voice. -------------------- "Son--err," her father said, "I mean...

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, February 23 2005 01:04 Profile Homepage #29 Cav, funny you should mention that -- I don't know if you heard about the guy who claimed a few months ago that he'd shot the dingo that killed Azaria, but was too scared to go to police at the time because he'd been shooting dingoes in a national park. His story turned out to be full of holes, though, and I think he ended up being charged with filing a false police report. (I know we're straying off topic, but the only way for me to stay on topic would be to crassly brag about being the forum celebrity again and turn this topic into an instrument for personal gain, and I don't think there are any young ladies from the Melbourne or Geelong area on these forums for me to impress anyway.)

Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Wednesday, February 23 2005 22:09 Profile #34 Most people assume it's pronounced that way when they view it in print.

Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Thursday, February 24 2005 09:13 Profile #38 I would pronounce Arancaytar as "air"-"an"-"keh"-"tar". Probably incorrect, but your name does seem awfully phonetic.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, February 24 2005 10:00 Profile Homepage #40 That would be correct in this case, yes. Even though it's not actually German in its phonetics, the pronounciation of Tolkien's languages is slightly related to German. And it's stressed on the third syllable rather than the second, which is something my father always gets wrong when he addresses me that way for fun. :D For some reason, I pronounce the short form like AM(?) said: "AIR-ran".

I can distinguish the Queensland dialect from other Australian dialects, but that's where my Australian dialect perception ends. Out of curiosity, does Australia have an equivalent to the American South, dialect-wise? Can y'all easily discern the difference in American dialects?

Out of curiosity, does Australia have an equivalent to the American South, dialect-wise? Can y'all easily discern the difference in American dialects? I can't really tell the difference between Queensland and the rest of the country. They do speak differently, but I think it has more to do with sentence structure than accent. E.g. they will quite happily end a sentence with 'but'. However, the differences are very slight, and between the other states they are pretty much non-existant. Regarding American accents, I gather the North accent is like Stugie or ADoS. Understandable, and almost bearable. The South accent is the one that's close to impenetrable. For some reason, I really don't like American accents. -------------------- Sex is easier than love. Posts: 1861 \| Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00
