I hear both versions. Just wondered which one is more popular.

In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.

Do you mean the northern English bath? If you mean standard English then that would be a third way.

I mean like in Bath in Somerset, bath(tub) and path, and Darth (Vader). I guess that is a third way. That's how I've heard it pronounced by Brittons. Wroth is an archaic form of the word and I did hear Americans pronounce it like the A in bad.

When you google for words that rhyme (I just did), you'll also find words like bath and path. That might be a reasonably good indication of how it's supposed to be pronounced.

I've been searching my memory, and I think you're right. It's the same A as in bath, but shorter and sharper, and it almost sounds like the O in worth. It's still an ah sound though, to my ears at least.
Edit: the words that sound closest to it that I can come up with are "what" and "Watt"

I'm trying to imagine how an American would say wrath. I agree, this is neither the A in cat nor the O in moth. I don't think there is an equivalent vowel sound in English.

The Americans I heard use it pronounced it like wreth, as in Beth
Found a site where it's pronounced both the British and the American way:

To my ears, the American pronunciation sounds like the A in the standard English pronunciation of Cat.

America is a large country. I can imagine that a Texan would pronounce it differently than a Bostonian. As far as I know the US do not have something similar to standard English, so I think there is no standard American pronunciation for wrath, or any word for that matter.

The American pronunciation of wrath is like cat, rat, or hat. (No 'e' sound.)
Wrath, bath, catheter, Katherine, Kathy, staff, both the first two 'a's in Atlanta (the last a is like uh), all pronounced with the same 'a' in American English.

You probably aren't aware but actress Kathy Staff played Nora Batty in the long running sitcom, Last of the Summer Wine. Funny how things jump out at you, isn't it?

I didn't know that. That is entertaining. I've come across like patterns before.

I'm with Buz on this - wrath, bath, math, hath, cat, etc. But that brings up the question, is it Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, or Star Trek II: the Wroth of Can?
If we just had a few more vowels, they could each be asked to produce just one sound! Would that be more confusing, or less?

I agree. But in all those words the A sounds like the E in get. Cat and ket sound the same to me, and the difference between bath and beth is more in the length of the vowel than in its actual sound.

I am not familiar with an American regional accent where the vowel in wrath and beth are pronounced the same. I am very well traveled across the USA. If there was something like that, l'd guess it would be in New England but I can't place it. Is there anything like that in Australian accents or New Zealand? Or anywhere in the UK?

This is how most Americans are taught to pronounce the word, but I can guarantee you that you'd hear about a dozen mispronounciations of it if you polled the entire country. We Americans frequently butcher the language with our many dialects or simple, lazy, mouthbreathing mutterings.

I haven't travelled the US like you have, but thanks to the Dutch habit of adding subtitles to movies and tv shows in stead of dubbing them in our own language, I've been listening to American English from virtually every part of the country since my parents got their first television set. Ask any Dutchman to write down cat phonetically and he'll write ket. However, didn't say that bath and beth sounded exactly the same, I said that "the difference between bath and beth is more in the length of the vowel than in its actual sound.". To me, the American soundbite in the link I provided earlier sounds very much like wreth, very much, but like with bath and beth, not exactly.

Not in standard English. Cat in conservative received pronunciation, which is very rarely spoken except by the Queen does sound a little like ket.
In standard English bath rhymes with Darth in Darth Vader. Math and hath rhyme with gaff.
