Quebec French

My housemate's friends from Montreal pronounce "un an" roughly as one would say "urnan", with the standard American rhotic "r". I have no time to do this IPA, but feel free to try.

I guess you could fit an 'r' there. I usually just think of it as exaggerating the nasal (or conversely, I think of the Parisian dialect as being more prissy).

Would you be able to post an audio file? I'd like to hear hat you're talking about.

No can do. They were self-conscious enough when I asked them to repeat it without recording... besides, my computer may be dying soon, so I can't be bothered to get software, mess with Linux drivers, etc.
