![]() ![]() ![]() Once you go beyond English, many languages have this reduced sound that still sounds differently everywhere: French would say it's, Dutch would say it's the short u sound, Romanians would be somewhere between and with their ă, Kazakhs actually have two: і and ы, for many Russians it would vary between and, as it does for many English speakers even if the distribution is different (English prefers the lower variant at the end of words, Russian uses it before the stressed vowel). For speakers of non-rhotic dialects, they would think of it as the "er" sound, and that is why hesitation is written "errr" by British people. Think about languages other than English or even other dialects of English.
