		<description>Imagine saying it in very short way.  Southerners drawl their words out, Utahns clip the word.  So, instead of saying reeeaaal, it&#039;s &#039;rill&#039;; say it as quickly as you can.

From another source:
&quot;egg,&quot; &quot;leg,&quot; &quot;measure,&quot; &quot;treasure,&quot; and similar words pronounced with the &quot;ay&quot; sound of &quot;hay,&quot; rather than the &quot;eh&quot; sound of &quot;wet.&quot;

Introduction of a &quot;T&quot; into certain words: &quot;teacher&quot; pronounced &quot;teat-chur;&quot; &quot;preacher&quot; as &quot;preat-chur;&quot; other examples include between the sounds &quot;L&quot; and &quot;S&quot; (&quot;Nelson&quot; and &quot;Wilson&quot; pronounced as &quot;Neltson&quot; and &quot;Wiltson&quot;).

Removal of the hard T sounds in the middle of words and replacement of them with glottal stops.  Mountain is pronounced &quot;Moun-uhn&quot;

I find it fascinating to study the origins of regional accents.  There&#039;s been some work done that points dialect specifics of Utahns directly to the country, even region of origin.  For example, they&#039;ve found that some of the dialectical specificities originated in communities founded by immigrants from south western England; the dialects in those areas still contain markers that tie them back to SW England.  You find that all over the West as isolated communities reflected the country of origin.</description>

		<description>Not really southern. Not really even a drawl, and more like a midwest accent gone slightly more rural. If that&#039;s possible.</description>

		<description>OK, never been to Utah, but it sounds like they have a southern accent from what you just wrote. Is that right?

My husband worked on the Navajo reservation in Utah, but I think those people had a...um...Navajo accent.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t like laryngitis, because then I cannot impose my will upon everyone, but I LOVE being hoarse.  You know that episode of friends, where Phoebe has the cool singing voice?  Like THAT.  

My mother-in-law totally talks like that. She grew up in West Jardan.</description>
