<span><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hi Ron,</font></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt" dir="ltr"><span><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I recall an "s" tending to a "sh" in the old Transvaal as it was, specifically Pretoria. Mainly at the end of words that have an "s" plural. "Kinders" sounded a bit like "kinnersh". Not quite a "sh" as in "shoe" but heading that way.</font></span></div>

Listen to Queen Elizabeth's speeches from early in her reign compared with today: the high front vowels have all dropped back. She used to pronounce words like "cat" almost like "kett", but not anymore. That trend has been happening throughout Standard English, but she's followed it, not led it.</font></span></div>

<div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </font></div><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Koninklijke taal.<br> De toespraak van koningin Beatrix, waarin ze haar troonsafstand<br> aankondigde, moet gezien worden in het licht van haar ambt.<br>
Hoewel ze bij zowel feestelijke als rampzalige momenten onder het<br> "gewone volk" verkeerde, is ze toch opgegroeid in aristocratische<br> kringen en spreekt derhalve een soort aristocratisch Nederlands.<br> Bovendien is het Huis van Oranje erg beinvloed door de Duitse taal,<br>
qua afstamming, en het Engels en Frans vanwege de veelvuldige<br> internationale contacten.<br>Ook haar opleiding aan de universiteit van Leiden zal zeker een<br> stempel op haar taalgebruik gedrukt hebben.<br> Belangrijk feit is dat ze in haar toespraken bewust afziet van het<br>
vlugge en radde spreken dat heden ten dage kennelijk nodig wordt<br> geacht, zowel door radio- en TV-sprekers als door politici.<br> Een koninklijke boodschap moet gedragen en duidelijk over komen; iets<br> wat onze koningin als geen ander beheerst.<br>
Dit is mede oorzaak dat sommige letters als de g, de s en de t wat<br> scherper worden uitgesproken.<br> In Nederland is de Gooise g (chooise chee) een goed voorbeeld.<br> TV presentatrice Carolien Tensen in het Quiz programma "Een tegen<br>
honderd" zegt bij een goed antwoord steevast: "Hemachoet" als ze<br> "Helemaal goed" bedoelt.<br><br> Het zogenoemde "Algemeen beschaafd Nederlands" (ABN) wordt eigenlijk,<br> naar men zegt, alleen in de stad Haarlem gesproken. Vooral de<br>
stadsdialecten in West-Nederland hebben invloed op de taal en dat is<br> iets wat onze koningin zeker probeert te vermijden.<br><br> Dick.</font></div><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"></font> </div><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">----------</font></div>
