Hello,
Is there a non-small region in the US in which most people speak a dialect of American English that is very similar to British English as regards pronunciation? If not, which region is the closest?
For example, car would be pronounced more like [ca:] if it was before a consonant (e.g. in "cars" [ca:z]). This is called "linking r," which is a typical British English feature and which is pronounced only when followed by a vowel ("car is").
Thanks!
