A modern example of a particular pronunciation demonstrating one's background or beliefs is how [[Barack Obama]] pronounces "Pakistan" in the way used by Pakistanis, Indians, the British and most of europe and Asia as "Pokiston", with long stressed "A"s, rather than using the common American pronunciation with short "A"s. Obama's father was a citizen of a former British colony and spoke Standard, rather than American, English.

A modern example of a particular pronunciation demonstrating one's background or beliefs is how [[Barack Obama]] pronounces "Pakistan" in the way used by Muslims from that area of the world (as "Pokiston"), rather than using the common American pronunciation. This is an effect of his Muslim upbringing.
