"I'm not sure I get that. Isn't it more accurate to say it's two syllables in your
dialect, but three in others? If it's pronounced as two, I've always understood
that it is two. In English at least. (dia/lect, rea/lised, in/terest are all
two syllables for me, as is ta/le)"
That's interesting. In my dialect:
realize = [R\il=ajz]
dialect = [dajl=Ekt]
interest = [IntR\s=t]
tale = [tel=]
Is this an English pronunciation thread now?
