HelpSarah and Harry sound completely different in my accent
in reply to a message by Octavia
I say Sarah like SARE-ah (rhymes with HAIR-ah :-p) and Harry with the short a like the a in attic. HA-ree and SAIR-ah.
How does the pronunciation of Sarah vary from north to south?

The a in attic sounds like
the a in Harry to me. What does the a in attic sound like to you?
Pronunciations in different accents confound me.
Sarah and Harry both have a sound like "hair" in my ear.

Its a short a, like at-tic whereas the a in Sarah is long, like SAIR-ah. Harry is a short a as well, like HA-ree. I really need to record myself saying these and then post it...
*runs to phone to record it*

Just to add
That is a video file because that's all my phone does and I don't know how to convert it to just a sound file. There is only sound on the video though, no image

What does the a in attic sound like to you?
Like the A in apple, cat, Radcliffe, yak, etc.
Hairy, though--more of an "ay" sound, you know?
