Iowa and Illinois residents often mispronounce English words like those with "th" sounds due to regional dialects, a study finds.
A recent study reveals that residents of Iowa and Illinois frequently struggle with pronouncing certain common English words, particularly those involving the "th" sound and vowel shifts in regional dialects.
The findings, based on speech analysis from over 1,000 participants, highlight consistent patterns of misarticulation in both states, though researchers note the differences are subtle and do not affect overall communication.
The study attributes the challenges to regional linguistic tendencies and historical dialect influences.
