Abstract
This article explores the concept of American-based pronunciation standards, focusing on General American (GA) English, which is widely recognized as the "neutral" accent in the United States. It delves into the distinctive features of GA, including its
rhotic nature, the flapping of /t/ and /d/, vowel pronunciations, unstressed vowel
reductions, and nasal sounds. The article highlights the role of GA in education, media, and professional settings, where it is taught as the standard for clear communication. I
