i just found out that flour was pronounced "flauer" the same as flower...
So far, i always pronounce it "flo:r"
i was surprised and would like to ask anyone about this case...

Perhaps it's only dialects matters( British or American ).
Yeah, it's spelled like /flower/ from what I've learned. But it may differ in some places.
yep, it is exactly and absolutely the same as flower.
notice this:
flower/'flawə(r)/
flour/flowə(r)/
I looked up the dictionary for the phonetic symbol just to make sure about what I believed so far (I spelled both words /flowə(r)/ )
extra explanation: why do I put parentheses among the "r"?? because of the different accent. American people will most likely spell it with "r", however Englishman without.

there is a little difference between flour and flower
if you try to differ it, you'll find it when you pronounce "w" n "u"
flawer, flauer

Flour as in 'flower' is the British pronunciation
Flour as in 'flar' is American pronunciation
I think
i think its Just a sPell Problem or see How the words use it..
well, I think English has many words with the same pronounciation, what we have to do is to see the context where the words may occur![]()
Flour and Flower are homophones
U don't need to differentiate it, just spell it [flawə(r)]
The difference ,though, is on the intonation.
flower/'flawə(r)/
flour/flowə(r)/
Notice the 'f and f, in flower, we denote the initial f while flour we don't denote it, just normal pronunciation
I looked up into many dictionary like Webster [ Merriam - Webster ] and Oxford Dictionary, Wordweb Dictionary, Cambridge and outsources.
its much harder when u spell it in british accent
Only tones differ them.
flower: flaw.er
flour: flawer
They have identical pronunciation, but different tones.
The method of reading flour depends on the accent, normal english accent will read flour as " f l a e r ", which mostly correct for normal accents, not sure about british though..
i think its just a spell problem and the accent from another country![]()
