Disclosure:
What I do not know about IPA (and Appendix:English pronunciation#Vowels, etc.) would fill a book.
Comment:
Could this issue possibly be caused by (or related to) the fact that only a British English ("UK") pronunciation -- (namely, "/ˈbɹʊut.ɪʃ/") -- is shown?
- (... and such "UK" pronunciations tend to render the letter "u" like the word "you" ... which might account for the "double" vowel -- -- in the pronunciation string .) (right?)
- (... and -- -- maybe it even relates to the fact that, in British English, the word for subway is typically pronounced like "chube"?)
Thanks for listening. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 17:50, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
