[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 290223"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (shtove @ Nov 27 2009, 11:16 PM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=423749']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> American, Irish, Scottish and some Northern/ Western English accents are 'rhotic' - in other words they pronounce [r] in words like heart, part, cart etc. This is why, to a SOutherner, Irish accents can sound American. But at the time the 13 colonies was founded, there was no such thing as 'received pronunciation' so it's possible that the majority of English accents were rhotic too. [/QUOTE]
