No length markers, no affricates, no /t/, just a bit of rounding so that the UK version has the CLOTH vowel not the FATHER vowel as is more common in the States. (Note that some American speakers actually do have the same rounded vowel there that the Brits have. If you're looking for examples of this I'd first check speakers from Pittsburgh and Alabama.) | |
