In New Zealand English, you should be comparing the pronunciation of R in “red” and “car audio”, to ensure that the R is actually pronounced at all. Some accents don’t even pronounce it in the latter. (There’s a good one for the spelling reformers.)
And be careful with “ah”. I have a strong suspicion that we pronounce it very differently in New Zealand compared to North America.
- hugh3 16y agoWith my Australian accent I wouldn't pronounce an "r" sound in "car audio" either -- just switch straight from the "ahhh" sound of "car" to the "orrrr" sound of "audio". Speaking of which, it wasn't until quite recently that I realised not all accents have so much trouble with the ambiguity of the Ford Ka.
