Phonology.
Consonants.
Word-initially /t/ and /d/ are dental. Word-final /t/ can be sometimes fully released and sometimes fully deleted, such as in but [bʌ] and about [əbaʷ]. Word-medially /t/ can occur as either a stop or glottal stop, hence "after" is either [aftə] or [afʔə].
Word-initially H is variably present. The fricatives are pronounced as dentals: 'think' [tɪŋk], 'there' [dɛ]. Nasal backing is common after back vowels: "Hamilton" sounds like [hamɪltɔŋ]. /l/ is normally light in all positions, the /r/ is a retroflex [ɹ] and rhoticity is variable. 
/str/ is pronounced as /ʃtr/: industry is [ɪndʌʃtri]. Final clusters may be devoiced (kids: [kɪts]) and final stops in clusters can be deleted (respect: [rispɛk]). There is restricted metathesis: words like "ask", "crisp" and "crispy" are pronounced as [æks], [krɪps], and [krɪpsi]; but "mask" is pronounced as [ma:s].
/k/ and /g/ tend to be palatalized: Coast Guard [kʲo:s gʲa:d].
Vowels.
The vowels in "Kit" and "Dress" are usually [ɪ] and [ɛ], and the vowel in "Kit" is sometimes lowered to [ɛ] ("miracle": [mɛɹəkl]). The vowel in "Trap" is either [a] or [æ]. The "Foot" vowel is usually [ʊ], but sometimes [ɔ], and the "Lot" vowel is usually [ɑ], but sometimes [a]. The vowel in Strut is normally [ʌ], but at times [ɔ] (cup: [kɔp]). 
The vowels in "Fleece" and in "Goose" tend to occur as [i:] and [u:], and the "Face" and "Goat" vowels tend to occur as [e:] and [o:], but they can occasionally be [eə] and [oə]. The "Bath" vowel tends to occur as [a:], though [æ] can also be heard. The "Cloth", "Thought" and "Palm" vowels tend to occur as [a].
The diphthong in "Price" is either [aɪ], [ɔɪ] or [əɪ], the diphthong in "Mouth" is either [aʊ], [ɔʊ] or [əʊ]. The "Choice" diphthong is usually [ɔɪ], but can be realized as [aɪ]. Hence, choice can be heard as [tʃaɪs] and price can be heard as [pɹɔɪs].
The "Nurse" vowel is [ə], [ɜ]or [ɔ]; the "Near" vowels is usually [i:], but can be merged with the "Square" vowel [e:]. The "Start" vowel is either [a:] or [ɑ:], the "Cure" vowel is [ɔ:], and the "North" and "Force" vowels are usually merged, though "lord" tends to sound like [la:d].
Rhythm.
According to Meer, Bequia English has limited vowel reduction and a high tendency toward syllable-timed stress pattern.
