This paper examines the phonemic realisations of the letter and in Educated Nigerian English Accent (ENEA) as a second language. It is based on the concept of intraference. Examples were gathered from 2005 to 2013 in a national survey through interviews, participant observation and the recording of spontaneous speeches. The method of analysis is eclectic: qualitative textual analysis and description, and quantitative statistical presentation of data. Ordinal data are presented in percentile and frequency tables and charts and the linguistic texts are described, explained and compared with RP variants. The study established that educated Nigerians redeploy the various British RP realisations of the letters and indiscriminately to pronounce words in which the letters appear in a manner that RP and other native English accents may not pronounce them, thereby producing phonological variants. Since the variants emanate from the (un)conscious redeployment of underlying RP phonemic realisations of the letters and since they are institutionalised in ENE, the paper proposes that they be treated as variations that characterise ESL and Educated Nigerian English Accent (ENEA).

本文研究了该字母的语音实现，并以尼日利亚的英语口音（ENEA）作为第二语言。它基于干涉的概念。2005年至2013年，通过访谈，参与者观察和自发讲话的录制，在全国调查中收集了示例。分析方法是折衷的：定性的文本分析和描述以及数据的定量统计表示。序数数据以百分位数和频率表和图表的形式显示，并且描述，解释了语言文字并将其与RP变体进行比较。研究发现，受过教育的尼日利亚人重新部署了英国人对RP字母的各种理解，并且不加选择地发音那些单词，使字母以RP和其他英语口音可能不会发音的方式出现，从而产生语音变体。由于这些变体源于字母的潜在RP语音实现的（无意识）重新部署，并且由于它们已在ENE中制度化，因此，本文建议将它们视为代表ESL和受过教育的尼日利亚英语口音（ENEA）的变体。
