[pʰoɹ pʰoɹ pʰoɹ pʰɔɑ]
maybe [pʰɔə]
I haven't really done an acoustic analysis of the vowel in "paw", so this is rough, but don't assume that it's nearly as strong as you would find in any of the Queens or Island dialects (which seems closer to [oə]; it is, at least, a bigger difference between start and end vowels).

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
For the first time in months I'm questioning my interpretation of my north-force-thought vowel. I've assumed [ɔː], but it could be [ɔo̯]. In my lower register there is definite dipthongisation, perhaps [ɔʊ̯].
So...
[pʰɔː pʰɔo̯ pʰɔʊ̯]... ish.
So...
[pʰɔː pʰɔo̯ pʰɔʊ̯]... ish.

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
Probably close to /poʊɹ poʊɹ poʊɹ pɑ/, though I'm told that here in California /ɑ/ is drifting toward /ɔ/, and I'm kind of starting to be able to hear that.ol bofosh wrote:Homophones in my accent:

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
The word "something" has a whole bunch of different pronunciations that vary in how much they reduce the word and such. What are the ways that you all say it, and what's your most common pronunciation in conversation?

The last one is "something like that" in its most relaxed from (so relaxed that I'm not sure how to transcribe it in some places). Which can undergo more variation.

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
I'm pretty sure I use [sʌm.θɪŋ] most of the time, at least at the beginning and end of utterances, though sometimes it turns into something like [sʌmp̚.θɪŋ].
In some contexts, though, like in the non-initial pair "something else," it turns into (roughly) [sʌm.n̩] or [sʌmp̚.n̩].
This is somewhat tangential to the main topic of the thread, but do any other L1 English speakers find themselves pronouncing /r/ as something like /r̥/ or /hr̥/ at the beginning of words? I'm pretty awful at pronouncing most sounds not found in my particular variety of English, but somehow it seems to be easier for me to roll an r if I aspirate the heck out of it.
