Dear all,
I hope you can suggest any good dictionary for New Zealand and South
African English with accurate and reliable phonEMic transcriptions
for actual NZ and SA pronunciations? And perhaps one for Ireland
(Eire) and India, as well?
I thank you those who have already sent me some phonETic indications.
But I know fairly well their characteristics (in fact I'm writing a
book on the different pronunciations of English, in detail, as a
world language, including intonation, not only for native speakers).
What I really want is to be able to discover possible differences in
the distribution of phonemes between different accents (something
like "shone", "either", "song", "lost", "last", "Mary", "hurry", &c
&c).
For Canadian and Australian English I have some satisfactry
dictionaries. I can't say the same for those about South African
English that I have...
Many thanks
