I actually find this interesting, because the only reason it's pronounced as such is because the Australian accent is non-rhotic. So technically the correct pronunciation with an American accent is actually "Mel-burn" since we pronounce the r.

>tfw neither americans or australians speak the Queens English

Oh my days

>>82783137
The way people say it in Australia can't really be replicated with letters.

It's somewhere in between Melbun and melbin. I think melb'n is the most accurate.

We don't

>>82782966
faggit it's still pronounced mel-burn with an American accent. since with an Australian accent it's some thing like malben

if it was MEL-BORN then with an Aussie accent it would be mel-bawn.

also wtf is up Americans saying Aussie as aw-see. it's Ozzy.

>>82781290

Entire states have this shit going on. Colorado, Nevada and Missouri especially.

The local population is rarely a good way to determine pronunciation.

In Virginia there is Norfolk. Any sane, rational person would pronounce it NORE-FOKE. But the locals say NAH-F'K.

Just people you live there, it doesn't mean you get to change the rules of pronunciation!

>>82785115

Interestingly enough there's a county right in the middle of Pennsylvania called Centre

>>82785115
Unlikely. English in England during the time America was founded was also rhotic. In fact modern American is probably closer to the way English was spoken during the 1700s than modern English/Aus is.

Lol, neither of us would understand old English so thats a pretty bullshit answer.

And no, American English is not the "correct" accent. The point is simply that neither is the BBC accent considering neither existed in their current form as recently as 300 years ago.

The Brits pretending like the own the English language is laughable.

It's because Mel Gibson is the only Australian they know. (They think Russell Crowe is Irish.) So they pronounce it like it's the city where Mel was born.

>Sir Trevor Nunn has claimed that American accents are "closer" than contemporary English to the accents of those used in the Bard's day.

Listen to your own Shakespeare experts you faggot

>>82787764
Your accent is no closer to it.

The simple fact is that most of Britain in the 17th century spoke with a rhotic accent. Considering the primary difference between our modern accents is that feature, it's not as much of a stretch as you're making it seem that Americans would sound closer to that accent than you guys.

>>82781290
Because the difference in pronunciation has to do with the accent and expecting Americans to change their accent when pronouncing an English word is autistic.

>>82781290
How do they do it?

>>82787742
Wrong

>>82788043
That's not it though. "Mel-burn" IS the pronunciation with an American accent. It's why it's "Mel-bin" in Aussie.

I've heard an American ask an Aus how to pronounce it. She'd say Melbin and he'd repeat it as such and sound retarded.

>>82781290

>>82788176
I'm American so no.

If you're familiar at all though, it's similar to Louisville and St. Louis. The latter should be pronounced as St. Lewis and the former as Loo-i-vul. It's not really because of accent, just the historical pronunciation. You can say Louisville with both a Kentucky and standard American accent but still pronounce it the same.

>>82788182
I guess I just really don't understand the weird pride you guys have in the English language when you factually know the way you speak isn't the way it's always been spoken.

>>82789354
That's not how that works. It's not "burn" because Australians pronounce bourne differently, it's pronounced that way because that's simply historically how the city has been pronounced. Insisting on the "or" sound just makes you sound like a twat. Which you're welcome to do, of course, but don't get pissed when you get called out for it if you visit.

>>82783645
>Fahgs

Joking aside you're an idiot because it would sound more like "Fegs"

>>82784547
It's not really the same as regional pronunciations but here in WA we have a ton of locations and landmarks that have retained their Salish tribal names, which can be pretty tough to pronounce for outsiders and makes them stick out pretty clearly (Puyallup, Sequim, Wahkiakum, Wenatchee, Chehalis, Issaquah, etc)

Why didn't god save Matt a second time ?

>>82788176
different words you idiot

In Bourne identity it's Born

in Melbourne it's burn

English language is full of these irregular nuances that's why ethnics find it hard to learn. it doesn't have the same rules for all of the language

only on /tv/

Australian accents are the worst accents in the world. It's like a retarded Scottish guy having sex with a retarded Alabaman guy and they're both drunk and have cocks in each other's mouths.

That actor is actually an aussie

northern english accents like geordie and yorkshire are far closer to middle and old english as they both still have heavy old norse influence in them
