===Pacific===
===Pacific===
A kind of "Transatlantic accent", inspired by Californian + Modern RP/Estuary.
Same as our American accent
 
Intonation: American + RP
=====Vocab=====
Mostly like our American English, with a limited number of Britishisms: ''knackered, mental, bollocks, bugger, fancy, ...'' the ones I sorta-know how to use
 
=====Vowels=====
*orange = [oːɹəndʒ]
*Mary-merry-marry merger
*Mirror-nearer merger
*Hurry-furry merger
*No mergers before /l/
*No trap-bath split
*No yod-coalescence
 
=====Consonants=====
*L is light [l] before vowels and dark [ɫ] otherwise, as in RP.
**wholly-holy split.
*No glottal reinforcement before stops.
*/p t k/ are unaspirated after stressed syllables as in AmE.
*/d t/ has a tapped [ɾ] allophone in similar environments as in American English.
*wine-whine merger present.
*CLOTH = THOUGHT
