Is it actually impossible for Aussies to say "no"?

Australians do that same thing as bongs where sometimes a random R just appears into the word. Like they'll say "potato" but it comes out as "potater"

>>223418637'R' in bri'ish english is a curious beast, sometimes it's silent like in 'poor', but say 'poor and hungry' and it's voiced. Why, it slips into even in 'law' in 'law and order', so it's pronounced the same as 'Laura Norder'.

>>223416095Here's a video on the topic by a linguisthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7DuvWVazpkIt's only a minority of people, mostly women in eastern states. Although it's an old thing. We don't hear it as R like Americans do. American R might include a broader range of sounds than our R?>>223418637There's a separate thing called linking r. It's just to keep vowels separate for flow. But for the word potato you are talking about the same phenomenon as OP, as that is the same vowel. This vowel is already closed by a w sound normally, it's just shifted in some speakers. Vowels are very similar to eachother so this sort of mismatch happens easily, and this is true of semivowels r, l, w too.>>223419423That's something else entirely. I don't know. Maybe the length of the vowel, shifting to L from the vowel, passing over what sounds to you like R in the process. I guess because of how R works in American vowels, you hear both R and L together. But would most Americans hear it like that, do you think?
