They think they are enuciating I guess.

These mussy tie tung hard bahemian tawking people who ain had the right diction coach.

ZNS girl actually works hard on her pronunciation, you can see her working those lips, tongue and teeth for every syllable, cracks me up

Bahmians generally think the have to mis-pronounce words to be bahamian

What a difference a decade or two makes! Time was when the ZNS announcers spoke better Queen's English than I did. For the first few months I was here, until I got an ear for the accent and dialect, they were the only people that I could really understand.

I'm glad you said it NS! I thought I was the only one who noticing the "r" they keep putting in words like "Nassau" and "Bahamas". They just plain CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH, and when they try, they overdo it, and screw it up wussa. Lol. A lot of them say "play-een" for "plane". Aaah, boy...

i heard some call nassau, naa zoo before

You'll need to be careful, very werry careful!

Bahamian dialect is defined as "screwed up english".... Vemin (women), is (are), waachoo (what you), etc.

BUT, there are many of us that can make the switch... flawlessly!
