Re: Rhiannon vs. Rhianna
in reply to a message by mum2bubba
"ree-ar-nah", totally Australian! lol love it! btw, I just saw your profile and you have the same name as my sister! Awesome :)
I'd say
Rhiannon - ree-a-non (a short 'a', like how Americans start to say 'and', how is that done phoenetically?)
Rhianna - ree-AH-nah

Actually, ree-AH-na isn't a standard Australian pronunciation. ree-AN-uh is by far the more common.

Hee hee - The Wiggles are mostly what I think of when I think of an Australian accent.

Yeah, the Wiggles have good accents :-) My little siblings used to watch them constantly - I knew all the songs by heart as a teenager!

Re:
Off topic, I know but I have to say this. Janelle's accent is one that is gutteral and uneducated, NOT Australian. No, no, no.
Thanks.

I don't watch Neighbours - it's considered very much "common taste" in Australia, and no-one in my circle of acquaintance watches it - so I'm not sure the accent you mean, sorry.
