Re: Pakistani Pronunciations
Peace All
I think it is important for us to pronounce correctly both urdu and english. The musical manner in which we deliver the words can indeed remain. This is called intonation. In English and urdu intonation is not that important, but in Arabic and languages like Chinese and Russian it is critical otherwise the meanings will change.
There are variations in dialects too. In UK English we will pronounce the following:
The 'r' in UK English is a softer sound than the re in urdu. British never say CAR but Americans might. Even so the UK 'r' shape is the same as the American one, but the re is a different shape. The 'r' and 're' are actually two different sounds but are closest in development. The true description of 'r' with respect to urdu is by analogy.
noon to noon ghunna is the same as 're' to 'r'.
All hard consonants in English are incorrectly given fixed letter sounds in urdu. For example, the 't' sound in English is not the 'Te' (fifth letter) sound in urdu nor is it the 'te' (fourth) sound either. Actually the proper sound is 'Te-hey' jo bani 'They' (Te + two tummy hey) there is more wind that passes the teeth whilst the sound is pronounced.
Same with 'd' and 'p' and 'k' and so on.
Anyway Pakistanis are not the worst in the UK with mispronunciation:
There are some people who will call a window a vindow but there are others (Sikh punjabi villiager type) still who will call it a binda' and that is hilarious.
