Are there any Differences between American and British Pronunciation?
Yes but the differences are slight and very often un-noticeable. The most obvious ones include: • Sound of “r” at the end. British pronunciation does not pronounce the ‘r’ sound if the sound is at the end of a word, e.g. roar, British IPA is/rɔ: ׳ (r)/, American IPA is \ ׳rȯr\ • The IPA Symbols may differ depending on which system the dictionary is using. Some dictionaries provide both British and American IPA transcription • In American pronunciation, cot /kɒt/ and calm /kɑɪm/ , ɒ and ɑɪ the same vowel. These are just some examples but most people will not find the differences between American and British pronunciation an issue for concern.
