    I think there’s some imposters on that list, else I’m stuck trying to work put how I’d pronounce “danger” with three syllables.

      That’s counting a claimed New Zealand pronunciation of “ˈdæ̝ɪn.d͡ʒə”, which does split the first syllable in two. Can’t attest to that particular one, but Wiktionary will try to capture different ways of pronouncing words across major variants.


      Edit: Wait, that shouldn’t create a new syllable. Now I’ll need to investigate instead of just being confidently wrong.
