I'm studying World Englishes and currently I'm revising variety in phonetics. A bit of the material says that those who speak the Indian English Dialect pronounce 'water' differently to those who speak British English/Standard English.
How do you pronounce water? Could you show me in letters (People speaking standard English pronounce water as 'war-tur').
Thanks!

I know That people pronounce it like var-terr
But in U.K. English it's just war-ter
Just like don't roll the r and the w is just like your mouth pursing like as if you were going to say oo rather than your teeth hitting your lower lip to say v
