Difference In US English And UK English, The Sound /R/

In British English, the word "air" is pronounced as "eə". This pronunciation is a combination of the vowel sound "e" and the schwa sound "ə". The "e" sound is a mid-front vowel sound, similar to the sound in words like "bet" or "set". The schwa sound "ə" is a neutral vowel sound, often found in unstressed syllables. When combined, these two sounds create the pronunciation "eə" for the word "air" in British English.

The correct answer is "If it's followed by a vowel." In British English, the sound /r/ is usually pronounced when it is followed by a vowel sound. This is known as the linking /r/ and is commonly heard in phrases like "car and driver" or "far away." The /r/ sound is not pronounced when it is followed by a consonant sound or at the end of a word.

This answer correctly identifies an intrusive /r/ as being added in a situation where none exist. This means that the /r/ sound is inserted into a word or phrase where it is not naturally pronounced.

The correct pronunciation of "sorry" in British English is "sɒrɪ."

In British English, the sound /r/ is usually pronounced silently, meaning it is not pronounced at all. However, there is an exception to this rule when /r/ is followed by a vowel. In such cases, the /r/ sound is pronounced.

British English does not pronounce the /r/ sound at the end of words or before consonants. This is known as non-rhotic pronunciation. Therefore, the statement that British English pronounces its /r/ sound at all times is false.

The correct pronunciation of "bar" in British English is "bɑ:".

Rhotic speakers do pronounce the sound /r/ even if it is not followed by a vowel. This means that they pronounce the /r/ sound in words like "car" or "park" even when it is not immediately followed by a vowel sound. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Rhotic speakers are those who pronounce the /r/ sound in their words. This means that they do not drop or omit the /r/ sound at the end of words or before consonants. Instead, they fully articulate the /r/ sound. Therefore, the statement "Rhotic speakers pronounce the /r/ in their words" is true.
