British English vs. American English: Pronunciation

I have documented many mispronounced words, however this entry concentrates on words you are probably saying correctly, as there are two ways to say them.

“How should we pronounce these words in Singapore”

Most of the words have either a British (BrE) pronunciation or an American (AmE) pronunciation. In Singapore there is quite a mix of pronunciations, even if English is based on the British system (spelling etc.). For example in Singapore; privacy, vitamin, tomato are commonly pronounced the American way, and advertisement, missile, and mobile are pronounced the British way.

So which pronunciation should you use?

These lists are really focused on single differences where the vowel or consonant are sounded differently. Please do forgive me if in some cases an American or British speaker can use both, when I’ve said otherwise.

Take a look at this article for reasons why there is a difference in the first place. Generally, “the British took a French word and re-pronounced it according to English spelling rules, while Americans preferred a pronunciation that sounded more French, even if the word is still heavily Anglicized.”

Interestingly, in Britain a lot of the American pronunciations are creeping into everyday usage. For example:

  • Schedule (SKED-jool)
  • Advertisement (AD-ver-ties-muhnt)

Linguists put changing pronunciations down to the influence of broadcasters and US culture.

There is so much more to cover in terms of pronunciation differences including but not limited to:

  • Which syllable to stress in a word
