Aussies, why do you put "r" into words that don't have an "r"?

I've been to the American south. Is that American they are speaking down there? I could barely understand them the first time I answered the telephone.

Cheers

"nonrhotic", a perfectly cromulent word, thanks!

Just answer the original questions. Why can't Aussies learn how to speak properly? Nothing to do with Boston or Alabama or anywhere else besides Australia.

Americans' hard "r" is one thing that identifies them as such in Deutschland. "It grates on the ear,"

R's are a thing to themselves. In Boston water is said watuh, drawer is said drawr, and of course car is said cah, park is said pahk. And then there is Hahvad.

In New England saw is pronounced sahr.

OP got schooled

Correct English: law

Aussie: lawr

Correct English: idea

Aussie: idear

Also, when a word has an "r", why do you Aussies leave it out?

Correct English: lawyer

Aussie: lawyah

Also, why can't you Aussies pronounce any vowels correctly?

Correct English: men

Aussie: meen

Correct English: death

Aussie: deeth

Correct English: saying

Aussie: sighing

Listing to an Aussie or Kiwi provides endless entertainment. These whole countries are full of comedians!!

It's called the Rhotic R

At least they can pronounce all seven days of the week.

Correct English: Tuesday

North America: 2's day
