I noticed that, in some American dialect (maybe in the South of America), people may use "flap T" after "n". For example, "/ˈwɪn.t̬ɚ/" source
Other example, "ninety" /ˈnaɪn.t̬i/Source
So, my question is, in some parts of America, do people there COMMONLY use flap T after n?

I am not sure about the pronunciation but one thing you'll find in almost every language, especially English is that there is always an exception to a rule. So, as @michael_timofeev says, you might want to change 'always' to something else.

A quick link from the other SE article to Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_accents_of_English#North_America) offers clues as to locale. Basically it's a North American English thing, but can also be found elsewhere.

Phonetic literature that I have seen typically describes this as a nasal/nasalized tap/flap rather than a nasal consonant followed by a tap/flap.
The frequency of this pronunciation varies by dialect, but I am not aware of any dialect where [nt] with non-flapped t has been completely eliminated. In most dialects, [nt] is a possible realization of /nt/ even before an unstressed syllable.

It's practically impossible to pronounce a flap immediately after a nasal stop, so I agree with this.

Yes. That 'iz' correct. Consonants may 'be-kome' accentuated and derivative in their common verbal and parochial usage. Like, 'Where'av you been?' or, adding a hard z - "What iz zat?". The contraction and consonant alteration can almost become another language, but they are not written that way, except to cite accents.

Yes. That 'iz' correct. Consonants may 'be-kome' accentuated and derivative in their common verbal and parochial usage. Like, 'Where'av you been?' or, adding a hard z - "What iz zat?". The contraction and consonant alteration can almost become another language, but they are not written that way, except to cite accents.
