"wester-ren"

My exwife is from Cleveland,Ohio and she always says "wester-ren" instead of "western" I was wondering if this is a pronounciation found only in Ohio? I had also thought maybe it was Ebonics, but havent met anyone else who is Black that pronounces it this way?

"Westerrrrrrrrrrrn" or simply, "west'n"

I've never heard anybody give it three syllables before.

yes,she cant say "ern" it always comes out "eren"

Different. Could just be her, you know, rather than a dialectical feature.
