Traditionally, parts of Lancashire have very clearly articulated "r"s, similar to the stereotype of Cornwall and the West Country. The pronunciation of these "r"s towards the ends of words is called rhoticity.
In fact, historically, hundreds of years ago, people throughout England used to pronounce strong "r"s. But now, says the research paper, these strong "r"s are definitely dying out.
In Blackburn, young speakers do mostly say their "r"s, but they are, according to the research team, phonetically very weak and often difficult to perceive. And they pronounce them less frequently than older speakers.
I guess Scotland and wales don’t fucking count as part of Britain
And Northern Ireland 😂
Northern Ireland isn’t part of Britain. Hence why the UK is great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The “British” denomym applied to the United Kingdom. Not just Great Britain. The term “Britain” in general applies to the United Kingdom. Hence the Great part. In fact, “Great Britain” is occasionally short for “Great Britain and Northern Ireland” such as at the Olympics.
Both of you two are right.
