9. The South African Pronunciation
The following are the most striking phonetic features of this pronunciation type:

1. 
   the vowels may be nasalized when the nasal consonant precedes or follows them;
   
2. 
   all the vowel sounds are half-long, i.e. all short vowels become longer and long vowels – shorter.
   
3. 
   a special vowel /ё/ which is half-close, front-central, half-tense and rounded, is used instead of /I/, /ɛ/, /Ə/, /Ə:/ both in stressed and unstressed positions;
   
4. 
   in an initial position /h/ may be dropped: house /aus/
   
5. 
   the rolled or thrilled (r) is used in all positions: great /greIt/, dear /dI^.r/, warm /wɔ^.rm/etc.;
   
6. 
   word accentuation and intonation are different in this type than in RP and GA. For example, auxiliary verbs, pronouns and meaningless words may be stressed and therefore they are pronounced in full;
   
7. 
   the glottal stop is often used to retain the “jerky” South African pronunciation.
   

There are also other types of pronunciation in Asia (India, Pakistan, Philippines), in America (Puorto-Rico), which are regarded as dialects or idiolects. Besides there are mixed or hybrid languages which have peculiarities of English.
