Pronunciation: Philippine English has its own unique accent and pronunciation, which is heavily influenced by the local languages in the Philippines. For example, the letter “e” is often pronounced as “i,” as in the word “ senyorita ” (senorita), and the letter “o” is often pronounced as “u,” as in the word “ kulay ” (color).

Like any other spoken language or language variety, the segmental components of Philippine English phonology include both vowels and consonants. Pronunciation of these sounds can sometimes "deviate" from other varieties of English like American English, yet these deviations offer insights into the type of English used in the Philippines.
