S1 = Taiwanese female
S2 = Indonesian male

Context: S2 is talking about religion and communism.

S2 : ... you have the dialect for example dialect of kuala lumpur (.) dialect of er singapore (.) dialect of er: bandar seri begawan dialect of jakarta (.) but even within THAT then you have many ethnic GROUPS

Intended Words: bandar seri begawan, jakarta, ethnic

Heard as: bandar sudar, which country, other

Discussion: Even though S1 is herself a resident of Bandar Seri Begawan (the capital of Brunei), it is spoken rather fast, and as a result she cannot understand it. She also knows about Jakarta, but she was also unable to decipher it.

Discussion: The phrase many ethnic groups is spoken quite fast, with stress falling on groups. It is not clear if there is a [θ] in ethnic or not, and there is no clear [k] at the end of the word, though this is not too surprising as the next word begins with [g].
