not so in welsh english. that has a noticable drop on stressed syllables ( and makes welsh english easy to parody even if you can't get the phonemes right ). i _think_ it's similar in indian english ( parodic indian accents are usually like welsh parodic, but with retroflex /t/ and /d/ and reduced aspiration ) likewise sentence final french stress falls, but that is a special position bn ===== bnathyuw | landan | arR stamp the sunshine out | angelfish your tears came like anaesthesia | phèdre __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
