Speech & Pronunciation
Dark L or Light L after final L + new word
Hi,
A question for you guys, as I was unable to retrieve the answer to this from the threads.
Do we pronounce a dark L or a light L in:
e.g. cool Indian
In other words, does the second word, which starts with a vowel, influence the dark L that is normally pronounced in the word 'cool' if pronounced seperately.
Thank you for you replies.

Hi,
with questions like this, you are getting into trouble, lol.
I remember asking the same kind of question in the past. I've never gotten a clear answer, because this can get very complicated, as you can see from raindoctor's answer.
It depends on what you want to know and why. If you just need some tips to improve your spoken English then you don't need to know any complicated

Hi,
Thank you both. I asked this because I thought the aswer to it would be pretty straightforward. But, as it turns out, it is slightly more complicated. Good information though.
Why I want to know this? Partly because I find it interesting, but in the past, I also found it to be very helpful for my accent – including the complicated stuff. Besides, it's also helpful to know
