How does Arnold Schwarzenegger pronounce 'California'?
I need to know for a linguistics assignment. Can anyone perhaps link me to an audio or video clip of him saying it? Thank you!
- I don't know… but I bet it doesn't have R in it!
- arnlod pronounce california with a Austria accent,kaliforneyah
- Like a lot of people who wanted to be american citizens and could afford language classes, he speaks with the accent of his instructor.. there is a genetig factor, just like I could never make that noise the mexicans make with their tongues when pronouncing the r sound. nor the ethiopians or arabics when they pronounce the r sound.
- CAL - IF - FOR - NI - AYE or CAL - IF - FOR- NEE
- Ha. I think EnternalS got it right. I remember watching Jay Leno recently and he asked a lady "if we have a gubernatorial race for the governor, why don't we call them a gubernator instead of a governor", and the lady replied "I thought we already did".
HA!
