In most Americans accents I think "Dragon" and "Jragon" would be indistinguishable.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I was so fucking confused until I tried saying it out loud. I'm so startled and impressed

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah if I slow down and pronounce it with intention, they're different. In normal speech though, it's basically "jragon"

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

I grew up in the Appalachian and it isn't the same in my accent.

[–] isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Absolutely not. Am American, so I'm gonna go on a limb and assume most of my friends would also probably pronounce it similarly.

The way you say Jra-gon and Dra-gon is completely different in most accents on the West coast. I'm very confident in that.

I think the Midwest would probably say it pretty samsies because they're not emphasizing the first letter: jRa-gun / dRa-gun or jra-Gn / dra-Gn. Probably gets lost in the sauce a little.

Idk about East Coast, but tbh it probably is closer to Midwesterners dropping consonants and shit so who knows.

[–] ARxtwo@lemmy.one 4 points 11 months ago

West-coaster here. They’re definitely two completely different pronunciations.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 points 11 months ago

I'm a Midwesterner living on the east coast so that's entirely possible.
