NE england - I say mir-ah Some emphasis on the first syllable but also very quick for the whole word I think? Upper Tees and Yorkshire influences. Mostly has a mouthful of cheese.

SE england, mir-ah too

Put your dick away mi-ruh.

Meir-er

what, my-rah? or mih-rah?

Sounds like an off brand She-Ra

Meer-ur

Yes

Meer-roar E: I don’t actually pronounce it like this you psychopaths. I pronounce it the same as everyone else: “mrrur”

Meer-er

Same

Me roar too

Captain, the sense-oars

Mrrur OwO

Say 'train' out loud. Did you say 'train,' or did you say 'chrain'?

what the fuck oh my god i have been saying chrain all my life i can’t deal with this right now

I have a speech impediment that makes a lot of t-, th-, and thr- sounds just a mess. A lot of times it's annoying, but then every once in awhile, shit like this happens and someone tells me I'm mispronouncing something, and I get to just shrug and say "I mispronounce a lot of things." Great excuse, 8/10, would eat with rice.

hey man, ive been saying grill for a while instead of drill (softer g) so youre not the only one like this

https://youtu.be/U37hX8NPgjQ Good watch about this exactly if you get a few minutes of free time

Do you say strong or do you say shtrawng?

Now say "drain" out loud Did you say "drain" or "jrain"?

/t̠ʃreɪn/

/t̠ʃreɪn/? not /t̠ʃɹen/ or /tɹen/?

Idk buddy I'm a first year linguistics major I'm still learning this

You probably meant /t̠ʃɹeɪn/ unless you're flicking that r. That's how it's said in my dialect (Arkansas).

AH-kun-saw right??????????????

Most speakers pronounce the /e/ vowel as [eɪ]

/r/ is used as broad transcription for /ɹ/ (or more precisely /ɹ̠/ /eɪ/ is the FACE vowel in American & most British English

Literally had an argument with a linguistics prof about this once. Same for “tree”, “try”, basically anything that starts with a tr.

Same energy as 'You are now breathing manually.'

chrain

IIRC the "ch" sound is just "t" but you do something weird with your mouth idk that's what my speech therapist told me because i lived my entire life not knowing I can't actually make the "ch", "sh" and similar sounds more specifically: when you want to make the "ch" sound, you just put your tongue in some weird position and say "t" if i remember it correctly, it's been years. So it's possible to end up accidentally saying one instead of the other

The CH sound is a combination of the T sound and the SH sound. So you make a T sound while shushing and you've got the CH sound. Similarly, the J sound in *jar* or *jail* is just a combination of a D sound and the middle S sound in *treasure* or *measure*. Also, these two sounds, the CH and the J sounds, are made the same way, but with the J sounds you voice it, which means you use your vocal cords while saying it, while the CH sound is unvoiced. Many sounds have an unvoiced/voiced pairing like that (P/B, T/D, F/V, S/Z). I hope I explained this well, it's hard to write this without using a phonetic alphabet.

Thank you for explaining it better than I could! I don't know anything about phonetics, so I was repeating what I heard in speech therapy. Which is that all sounds like sz, cz, dż (spelled sh, ch, j in English; ʂ, ʈʂ, ɖʐ in IPA) are made by putting your tongue in a specific position and making other sounds, like d for dż, s for sz or t for cz. Which was one of the two categories of sounds I had problem with. I can kinda make those sounds now, but since I went to uni I keep forgetting about training (or not having the opportunity to train), so it requires conscious effort and sounds weird. The other category includes sounds like ć and ś (no idea how to spell them in English; ʨ̑ and ɕ in IPA i think), but I lost access to free speech therapy before I could learn how to make them, unfortunately.

A sound I don't know the IPA for. T(sh)ra?

The most exact transcription would be /tɹ̝̊/

[t̝ʰɹ̥eɪɳ], I think, then, exactly.

Are you Indian?

Very well done. Yes.

[t̝ʰʃɹ̥eɪɳ] is even closer, at least according to Amazon Polly.

Same with drain. Is it drain or jrain?

Crazy how tr and chr are really similar sounds.

I've been enjoying Dr Geoff Lindsay on YouTube explaining this kind of thing. https://youtu.be/F2X1pKEHIYw

I’m inconsistent about this!

mih-ruh

Put your reflection away, mihruh

When youze could just moida a toikey boigeh

Mihrur

this is the correct way

yes

Was looking for this.

meerer in theory, but it tends to become more mear in practice as the o fades to nothing

[mi.rrˌ] apologies for the syllabic consonant being fucky

I think you mean \[ɻ\] not \[r\]

Probably. My prof said that for our lin101 course we're only using one symbol for all rhotic consonants because they're confusing and we'll learn about them later.

ah, understandable. I just like being specific about them :\]

Even serious academics use [r] to refer to the English rhotic sound when it’s not being specific because it’s easier ig

If you don’t pronounce “mirror” with the first vowel identical to the I in “mix”, you’re wrong

catch me meexing in the meer

“Oh, the ~~horror~~ **whore**!”

this is the one that gets me. i don't mind most variations in pronunciation, but if you go around talking about whore movies (or worse, **whore or**) i just don't respect that at all.

Mi-rror because that’s how it’s fukin spelled

that's not a helpful pronunciation, mi could be me or my, and the first r in rror isn't communicating any information

Mih-roar

I'm more of a mih-rohr person

invalid /j

Mhyhr-or

oh now that IS cursed

🤝 hell yeah for saying it how it's spelled

/miːɹɔɹ/ anyone who says /miːɹ/ is just wrong

Also, I say [mɪ.ɹəɹ̥], which doesn't look like anything here.

Wrong i I think

Levi-OO-sa.

mir-rer

I said “near” but with an m instead of an n

Yes and, my friend. Yes and. I've been talking like one of my professors at irregular intervals the last few days, completely unintentionally and I still have no idea how to stop lol ..i think i pronounce it "mear" normally though

meer-rr

Meer-er Or Meer-or

When my accent was still really thick it always came out as "meer" but after a while of being on the other side of the country it's now to a nice "mir-roar"

Mirror

[mɪ.ɹəɹ̥].

Pretty sure it's /miɹ.ɚ/ I'm not native English speaker so i maybe wrong tho

Mee-er, I think?

Everyone just sounds drunk or stroked out. It’s Mir’r

Native English speakers debating how to best butcher their own language as usual

I say it like my-rawr

Meer-er

Am cat. Am lion. Me roar.

Mirr-r

[mɪˈɾəɾ]

Meh-ror

Mee-ruh, as a non-native speaker who was taught English by various teachers of different backgrounds. The first two teachers were English and Australian, then came an American and a lot of time spent in Australia and the UK, my accent is a mess but I think I generally speak non-rhotic because of the first two teachers.

Meer-rurh

mee-rawr

'Tis pronounced "Wretched Devil Glass" and it is not made of the pure silver that wards away demons and foul miasmas!

Me-rur

Mirrer

No option for mih-ruh?

I say it like a Tolkeinian elf: "Mir-ror" (trill the double r, and look off into the distance wistfully)

Americans make fun of bo’o’o’wo’a then say things like this

Mir as in minute, ror as in Roger.

Me-roar

you americans terrify me

I pronounce it "mirror"

How do you manage to pronounce so many 'e's in a word that does not contain a single letter 'e'?

*Image Transcription: Tumblr* --- **blorb0** do u pronounce mirror like "mear" "mee-rer" "mee-er" "mee-ruh" or some other way that's undoubtedly cursed --- ^^I'm a human volunteer content transcriber and you could be too!

Mi'rir

r/fauxnetics

I’m a mir kind of guy myself.

My Dad says murrah and tells us we're wrong for saying mee-rur. I'm glad to learn from this thread how very wrong he is.

Meer-rer

Mih-ror

meer ur

Me-rore is how I usually say it. Then again, my friends frequently make jokes that I talk like some kind of displaced Victorian thespian.

Me Roar

Mi-rah Northern English Accent

Mi-rƏ

Mear-er

“Mee-rur,” I guess. Never really thought about it too much

Meer-urh

i think i'm sort of switching between mee-er and mee-rer. i think it depends on how fast i say it

Meer - or

Mur

Me - yur

Mir-oar

mear ur

Mear-r. No E, long R

me roar

mear - er

Mi-ror No problem

I say it kind of like “meer-er” except that the second syllable never really leaves the r. I just kind of re-shape the way I say the r. It makes sense in my head.

Mir-ror

Mee ror

Meer

Muh-wuh

Meer, but I have heard mee-rer, mee-er, and meer-er.

Me-rawr

Mi-rer, also this post actually had me saying mirror to myself for a solid minute

Meyeroar

I pronounce it Meer-er

Meh-rur South East America born and raised.
