Watched one of the Pink Panther movies tonight. A definite highlight of the films is Inspector Clouseau’s famous pronunciation of room ♫ (he uses a similar vowel ♫ for dog). To a linguist, of course, this begs the question: How would this pronunciation be transcribed?
It sounds to me like [ʁø̃ːm] and [døːɡ], but I always have trouble with those pesky vowels. Any other opinions?
