anythink

In an article in the Australian Journal of Linguistics ('Your're gettin'
somethink for nothink', issue 2.2:197-212, 1982), Anna Schnukal reported
that four words-anything, everything, nothing, and something-in Cessnock
New South Wales.   So this pronunciation is certainly found, at least in
these four words, in places in Australia.
