Wanda SG Originally posted by Rhonda: Here are my own observations : There are a handful of folks who cannot pronounce the letter 'v'. For instance, 'van' becomes 'wan', 'vehicle' becomes 'wehicle'. W: I noticed about 80-90% of my M'sian friends pronouced it this way...maybe they were taught this way in school?? Can any M'sian confirm? And "Vase", which should rhyme with 'Base', is very commonly pronounced here as 'V-Arse'. W: Bec we were taught this way in kindergarden (or is it kindergarten now?) and pri sch! "Flour" should be pronounced as "Fl-Our" but we often pronounce it as "Fl-ah"; W: It's the Asian pronouciation lah!
