Can't

[Harry Smith]

How is "can't" pronounced in the UK, the USA and other English speaking countries?

/kɑ:nt/ in BrE.

If you can't read the symbols, the /kɑ:/ part is very similar to the first two sounds of 'card', but without any hint of a following/r/

According to OALD, 8th edition, it is pronounced as /kænt/ in NAmE, which is very different from BrE.

According to OALD, 8th edition, it is [STRIKE]spelled[/STRIKE] pronounced as /kænt/ in NAmE, which is very different from BrE.

Yes. That sounds like the first part of 'canteen'.

 

[AlexAD]

Not to mention the fact that æ is longer in NAmE than in BrE (here I also quote the OALD, 8th edition).

The thing is that a guy in a Russian forum says that everywhere in the world is very popular /kænt/ and those who pronounce the other way speak the English, people used in the 1980s...
Thanks very much!

British people in 2011 still say /kɑ:nt/, Harry.
