Dialect question

[Anon1665155225]

The southern dialect.

“augh”

Would you pronounce that as “aw” or “on”?

Example. I went to grade school with a kid that had the last name Draughn. We pronounced “drawn”.

 

[AttalaDawg72]

“Aw”

Gulf South dialect (MS, AL, LA)- auw - gonna be a vowel blend

Start shading over towards Appalachia (East TN and NC, North GA) diphthongs start turning into monophthongs and vowels get harder.

Probably would sound more like "Drone"

IF it had a N as the last letter I would pronounce it on. But it doesn't

If they don’t understand what you mean by augh, then you have to add more pronunciation for them and make it clear to you mean “oh”

Agree with your pronounciation.

Garfield (the cat) always said "Arghhh" - slightly different spelling and pronunciation. But who knew a cat could talk?

In the US, "LAFF'. Those pretentious pricks over the pond, "LAHF"

Speaking of dialects. I've noticed a certain local podcast host pronounces "-ing" as "ing-kah", especially at the end of a sentence. I don't know where it comes from, but once I noticed it I hear it all the time now, and not just from him.

This. The two examples sounds in the OP are the same, just one has an N at the end... so I may be missing the question.
