Characteristics of Liberian English

  When I came to Liberia at first,I couldn't understand what Liberian said.The pronunciation of Liberian English is different from American English or British English.The native people speak English quickly and not clearly,generally they don’t prounce the last syllable.For example,when they want to say “Chinese”,they will pronounce “Chinee”.When they want to say “What’s your name?”,they will pronounce “Wha you nee?”.So it’s difficult to understand their meanings.And another characteristic is that they pronounce “t” instead of “th”.

  Liberia has 16 counties.It is smaller than Shandong Province.The Liberian are composed of three parts,although they are all blackmen.The American Liberian are descendance of American Blackmen,they set up this country,and most of them live in Monrovia.The American Liberian believe in Christianity,and they speak English clearlier than the others.In fact,most of American Liberian had never gone to USA,they are descendance of Congo.Another part of them are immigrants of nearby countries,such as Ghana and Sierra Leone.Most of those people believe in Islamism.The third part,also the largest one, are native men.

  I have met some doctors from USA and UK.There is difference between American English and British English.British speak English traditionally and clearly.The American speak English casually.
