hi, for English work I need to write this paragraph (below) in phonemic symbols, but in a welsh accent like in the episode, Gavin and Stacey, Series 1, Episode 3.
He died. firing squad. terrible way to go, stace and I wouldn't like to see it happen to you. smugglers, we were. and if it weren't for my relationship with John Prescott, I'd still be in that jail now. so yeah, in answer to you question, id say no, don't tell him.
this is what I wrote
/i: daɪd. faɪrɪn skwɒd. terrɪbl weɪ tu: gəʊ steɪs æn aɪ wʊdnt laɪk tu: si: ɪt æpn tu: ju:. smʊglz wi: wɜ:. ɪf ɪ wɜ:rt fʊə maɪ rri:leɪʃnʃɪp wɪð ʤɒn preskɒt æd stɪl bi: ɪn ðæt ʤaɪl raɪt næw. səʊ je ɪn ænsə tu: jʊə kweʃtn æd seɪ nəʊ dnt tel ɪm./
would you say this is correct for a welsh accent (I'm going off how they say it in the episode not standard english)
Hope you can help
Many thanks
