Well, RP of course lol. I'm joking... I'm not sure, but I think a
compromise could be reached... people who speak non-rhotic dialects of
english will still know how to pronounce a world if we keep on sticking
rs where some people pronounce them, and if we let the vowels accurately
reflect the current pronounciation of one of the dialects which has more
rather than less vowels I think people would be able to figure out how
to shift the sounds to match their own dialect (I believe on this side
of the ocean (UK) we've got a couple more vowels (including diphthongs
and triphthongs) than most of the american dialects haven't we? Don't
know which dialect has the most vowel sounds).
