Dit sou nie halfpad so snaaks gewees het as standaard
Engelse spelling meer foneties was nie.
Daar is minstens drie reelmatighede:
verkorting van vokale ('clipped vowels')
de-neutralisering van neutrale vokaalkwaliteit
monoftongisering van diftonge
Aldrie is verklaarbaar uit die vokaalinventaris
van die sprekers se moedertale.
ObGrappie:
Onthou iemand nog NTV nuus se verslag toe die Britse
koninklikes Namibië besoek het:
"Queen Elizabeth eleven and the Duck of Edinburg..."

Is dit nou die nuwe manier om nuuslesers wat
nie die regte kleur het in SA nie te beswadder?
Ek neem aan julle het gedink die Engelse Suid-
Afrikaanse nuuslesers van 'n paar jaar gelede
was OK? As julle maar weet hoe snaaks dit is
om Suid-Afrikaanse Engelse aksente te hoor vir
'n oor wat getrein is op Amerikaanse aksente.
En weet julle Afrikaners wat soos snedig is,
hoe julleself klink? En vir die res van julle
lewens gaan klink. Na dertig jaar het ek nog
'n duidelike Afrikaanse aksent (en ek is daarop
trots. Dit vergemaklik dinge geweldig. Mense
onthou my makliker. Hulle sê altyd "Yes, Mrs.
Bouwer" voordat ek nog eens aangekondig het
wie ek is.)

Dit mag miskien "snaaks" wees, maar dit het beslis sosiale voordele, want
dit word algemeen deur Amerikaanse ore verwar met die Queens English. En, in
baie dele van die Noord-Amerikaanse samelewing het so 'n aksent
statusvoordele.
Dit is opmerklik dat Suid-Afrikaanse akteurs dikwels in Amerikaanse films
gebruik word om Engelse rolle te speel.

Moenie jou eie beperkinge te veel veralgemeen nie. Ek self praat Engels
sonder 'n sweem van 'n Afrikaanse aksent, ten spyte daarvan dat ek nooit in
oorwegend Engelssprekende omgewings verkeer het voor die ouderdom van 18
nie. Dieselfde geld vir 'n groot persentasie van die jonger geslag
Afrikaners.
Ek dink wel dat grappe oor die uitspraak van die SABC se omroepers en ander
openbare figure 'n natuurlike, en selfs geregverdigde reaksie is op die feit
dat die regering en die SABC 'n doelbewuste beleid volg om Engels ten koste
van die ander tale in die land te bevoordeel. Dit is, dink ek, veral
geregverdig wanneer die uitsprake heeltemal onverstaanbaar raak, soos by
geleentheid wel die geval is.
Vriendelike groete, Leendert
