As a linguist I have to point out that this is not an entirely accurate characterization. Also, in this case, there is no difference between 'ya' and 'ye' as the intended vowel is a schwa (ə), which can be represented by either character.

Yeah, it's true that I'm being overly picky. It's just that any orthographic vowel in English does get used to represent schwa at some point.

Fo3 posted:Since you're here, why do we like saying 'carsill' for 'castle' Are you actually pronouncing an r? I would have guessed not. If you actually are, I would guess that because Australian dialects typically don't pronounce syllable final r's that it's an instance of hyper-correction and putting r's where no one else actually has them. Other than that, the t disappeared as complex consonant clusters have a tendency to simplify over time. The last bit is either a syllabic l or schwa followed by l which is fairly typical.
