Dulce de leche ? As Sal points out, a surprising number of people mistake this for Italian and pronounce it with /ʧ/ Hmm? It'd be /le.ke/ in Italian because <ch> is always /k/, while the <c> in words such as ciao is always /ʧ/. Another example is Chievo /ki.e.vo/. He's talking about the <c> in dulc...

Re: Intelligibility between dialect and standard language
I'm currently taking part in an exchange programme with one of Kievan schools and I was a host for my Ukrainian friend for a week just before our Easter. He's a native speaker of Russian and his vocabulary didn't differ anything from what I've worked with before, but his and his schoolmates' speech ...

Re: Offglides
I don't think so, assuming you're concerned about the phonological details. The act of denying there's any actual difference between [kˡ] and [kl] relies on the characteristics of lateralisation, while [nʲ] and [ɲ] do differ in the place of articulation. Moreover, I've recently met a group of peer U...

Re: How does dominant-recessive vowel harmony arise?
In my own colloquial idiolect of Polish, with its features being shared with me by very few people, I have a front-back (or, to be more specific, palatal-nonpalatal) regressive vowel harmony, often triggered by suffixes, e.g. ładny ['(w)ɑd̪n̪ə] "nice" :> ładnie ['(w)ad̪ɲ̟ɪ] "nicely" or rzut [z̠utʰ] ...

Europe, Uranus Do (especially nonrhotic, I think) people change the pre-r /uː/ to /ɔː/ when r is intervocalic?

Re: Are the h and ng sounds allophones?
I think the other pairs make sense as the stop consonants have different realisations in the onset and the coda, but this example and thinking singer and ahead differ in the place of the syllable boundary for me have no basis in the phonetic details.
