Help[Opinions] Re: Ariarne
in reply to a message by Ora (hufflepuffer)
It's a bit hard to describe, and no use recording myself because my accent no longer knows where it belongs lol.
If you listen to how the Australian says "darn" on Forvo (https://forvo.com/word/darn/#en) and then imagine taking the 'd' off and putting 'Ari' in front, that's pretty much it.

Ok, so it's not like a hard r on the second r. Easier to say that way lol

Lol, yep. The Australian accent is non-rhotic, meaning that we mostly don't voice the /r/ sound at the end of syllables. You could spell it Ariahne for exactly the same pronunciation.
(Another good example of this is when smart TVs first came out: one of the TV brands advertised theirs with the slogan "we put the tuner inside" with an animation of a (tuna) fish swimming around inside a TV. Tuna and tuner sound exactly the same in my accent.)
