😱 Some scary characteristics of the scariest Russian accent of the scariest white people on the globe:

1. A relatively flat intonation pattern, lacking the significant rise and fall of English intonation.

2. Consonants and vowels are pronounced with greater clarity and precision than in many English dialects.

3.The sounds [t], [d], [l], [n] are produced with the tongue against the alveolar ridge (the ridge behind the upper teeth), resulting in a different sound than in English.

4.The "h" sound is often aspirated less than in English.

5. A strong, trilled or uvular "r" sound, distinct from the softer alveolar "r" of English.

6. Interdental sounds 'th' are replaced by [s] or [z].

7. The [w] sound is replaced by [v].
