  1. ^ Stem-final /iː/ is diphthongised to [əi] or [ei] in Southern Scots.[1]
  2. ^ Vowel 3 remains a distinct phoneme /ei/ only in some North Northern Scots varieties,[2][3] generally merging with /i/ or /e/ in other Modern Scots varieties.[3]
  3. ^ The final vowel in HAPPY is best identified as an unstressed allophone of FACE for most speakers of Scottish English and Ulster English: /ˈhape/. In Geordie, it is best identified as an unstressed allophone of FLEECE: /ˈhapiː/.[4]
  4. ^ In most Central and Southern Scots varieties /eː/ merges with /e/. Some other varieties distinguish between the two at least partially.[5] In Ulster Scots the realisation may be [ɛː].[6] In Geordie, which is a non-rhotic dialect they are distinguished by quality; FACE is [eː], [ɪə] or [eɪ], whereas SQUARE is [ɛː], distinguished from DRESS by length.[7] The vowels are not phonemically distinct in Scottish English, which is a rhotic variety.
  5. ^ /ɔː/ is typically not distinguished from /ɔ/ in Scottish English, which features the cot-caught merger. In Geordie, the vowels are distinct as /ɔː/ for THOUGHT and NORTH and /ɒ/ for LOT and CLOTH.[7] They are normally distinct in Ulster English as well, where CLOTH has a long vowel /ɔː/.
  6. ^ /ɔ/ may merge with /o/ in Central and Southern Scots varieties.[8]
  7. ^ Stem-final /ʉ/, is diphthongised to /ʌʉ/ in Southern Scots.[1] In Geordie there is a contrastive /ʊ/ vowel which also encompasses the STRUT class, in other varieties there is a foot-goose merger with a contrastive STRUT.[7]
  8. ^ Regardless of the following /r/. English CURE stems from historical /uːr/ (in Scotland, the historical /ʊr/ has evolved into /ʌr/ instead, see nurse mergers) regardless of the preceding /j/. In Geordie (which is a non-rhotic dialect), it is a centering diphthong /uə/, whereas the historical /ʊr/ has mostly evolved into the NURSE vowel /øː/, as it has in most other accents of English.
  9. ^ /j/ merges with the preceding alveolar stop to form a postalveolar affricate in the case of yod-coalescence. Tune is best analysed as /tʃʉn/ for many speakers of Scottish English.
  10. ^ a b c Occurs only in Scots.
  11. ^ Most Central Scots varieties merge /ø/ with /e/ in long environments and with /ɪ/ in short environments, but most Northern Scots varieties merge /ø/ with /i/.[9] /ø/ generally remains [ø], sometimes [y] in short environments, in the conservative dialects of Scots spoken in parts of Perthshire and Angus, Berwickshire, Roxburghshire, East Dumfrieshire, Orkney and Shetland.[10] Before /k/ and /x/ /ø/ is often realised [(j)ʉ] or [(j)ʌ] depending on dialect.[11]
  12. ^ /ʌʉ/ may be merge with /o/ before /k/ in many Modern Scots varieties.
  13. ^ Some eastern and Southern Scots varieties may have more or less /ɛ/.[12]
  14. ^ a b c d e f Scottish English lacks the nurse mergers, which means that it distinguishes KIT /ə/, DRESS /ɛ/ and STRUT /ʌ/ before syllable-final /r/, as in fir /fər/ (with the same /ər/ as in letter /ˈlɛtər/), fern /fɛrn/ and fur /fʌr/. In other varieties of English (including Geordie, which is non-rhotic), the three vowels fall together as /ɜː/ (transcribed with ⟨øː⟩ in Geordie), though not always when the /r/ occurs between vowels (see e.g. hurry-furry merger, which Geordie lacks). In broadest Geordie NURSE partially falls together with /ɔː/, but the latter is [aː] instead in some words.
  15. ^ Not distinguished from /ʊ/ in Geordie, see foot-strut split.[7]
  16. ^ In some Modern Scots varieties /a/ may merge with /ɔː/ in long environments.[13] (see below)
  17. ^ /iː/, which occurs stem final, is diphthongised to [əi] or [ei] in Southern Scots.[1]
  18. ^ Vowel 3 remains a distinct phoneme /ei/ only in some North Northern Scots varieties,[14][3] generally merging with /i/ or /e/ in other Modern Scots varieties.[3]
  19. ^ The final vowel in HAPPY is best identified as an unstressed allophone of FACE for most speakers of Scottish English and Ulster English: /ˈhape/. In Geordie, it is best identified as an unstressed allophone of FLEECE: /ˈhapiː/.[15]
  20. ^ In most Central and Southern Scots varieties /eː/ merges with /e/.

  21. ^ /ɔː/ is typically not distinguished from /ɔ/ in Scottish English, which features the cot-caught merger. In Geordie, the vowels are distinct as /ɔː/ for THOUGHT and NORTH and /ɒ/ for LOT and CLOTH.[7] They are normally distinct in Ulster English as well, where CLOTH has a long vowel /ɔː/.
  22. ^ /ɔ/ may merge with /o/ in Central and Southern Scots varieties.[18]
  23. ^ Stem final /ʉ/, is diphthongised to /ʌʉ/ in Southern Scots.[1] In Geordie there is a contrastive /ʊ/ vowel which also encompasses the STRUT class, in other varieties there is a foot-goose merger with a contrastive STRUT.[7]
  24. ^ Regardless of the following /r/. English CURE stems from historical /uːr/ (in Scotland, the historical /ʊr/ has evolved into /ʌr/ instead, see nurse mergers) regardless of the preceding /j/.

  27. ^ /ʌʉ/ may be merge with /o/ before /k/ in many Modern Scots varieties.
  28. ^ Some eastern and Southern Scots varieties may have more or less /ɛ/.[22]
  29. ^ Not distinguished from /ʊ/ in Geordie, see foot-strut split.[7]
  30. ^ In some Modern Scots varieties /a/ may merge with /ɔː/ in long environments.[13] (see below)
  31. ^ a b c d Most function words (am, can, had, etc.) and some learned or less common words (Afghan, alas, asterisk, etc.) have [æ].
  32. ^ In Philadelphia, the irregular verbs began, ran, swam, and wan (variant of won) have [æ].[25]
  33. ^ In Philadelphia, bad, mad, and glad alone have [eə].
  34. ^ In New England, Pittsburgh,[32] and Florida[23] and in scatterings through the Midland US,[33] the (mostly coastal) Southern US, and the Western US,[23]
    the quality of /æ/ is more close before /m, n/, more mid before /d/ (and possibly other voiced stops like /b, ɡ, dʒ/), and more open elsewhere.[34] However, in most of the Western US and elsewhere
    in the Midland US,[23] it is more continuous, though still the most close before /m, n/.
  35. ^ In New York City, exceptional [eə] is found notably in avenue and variably before /dʒ/ as in imagine and magic.[36]

/æ/ raising in North American English[1]
Environment Phonemic systems Non-phonemic (continuous) systems
Consonant after /æ/ Example words New York City & New Orleans Baltimore & Philadelphia General US, Florida, Midland US, New England, & Western US Canadian, Northwest US, & Upper Midwest US Southern US & Black Vernacular Great Lakes US

/ɡ/ Checked: bag, drag, tag,[8] etc. [eə][9] [æ][10] [æ][c] [eːɪ̯][17][d] continuous [eʲ] [ɛ(j)ə~æ] [ɛə~æ]
Free: agate, dragon, magazine, etc. [æ][19]
/b, d, dʒ, ʃ/ Checked: bad, flash, glad, grab, mad, sad,[20] etc.[e] [eə][21] continuous [æ] [eə~ɛə]
/f, s, θ/ Checked: ask, bath, calf, half, glass,[22] etc. [eə][23]
Others as, back, frank, happy, locality;[24] etc. [æ][25]
For the phoneme /æ/, [eə] represents a tense pronunciation and [æ] a non-tense (or lax) pronunciation. The term "continuous" refers to a system without a decisive phonemic split of /æ/, followed by whichever allophone predominates in the given context.

Notes

  1. ^ In Philadelphia, began, ran, and swam alone remain lax.[3]
  2. ^ Exact allophones vary by region's or even individual's participation in a nasal or continuous system.
  3. ^ In New England, Pittsburgh,[11] and Florida[12] and in scatterings through the Midland US,[13] the (mostly coastal) Southern US, and the Western US,[14] /æ/ is more close before /m, n/, more mid before /b, g, d, dʒ/, and more open elsewhere.[15] However, in most of the Western US and elsewhere in the Midland US,[16] possible pronunciations of /æ/ are more continuous, though still the most close before /m, n/.
  4. ^ In Minnesota and Wisconsin especially, /æ/ raising before /g/ is often strong enough to produce a merger of /æg/ and /eɪg/, for example causing haggle and Hegel to be homophones.[18]
  5. ^ In Philadelphia, bad, mad, and glad alone in this set become tense.
Footnotes
  • Nearly all American English speakers pronounce /æŋ/ somewhere between [æŋ] and [eɪŋ], though Western speakers specifically favor [eɪŋ].
  • The Great Lakes dialect traditionally tenses /æ/ in all cases to at least some degree, but reversals of that tensing before non-nasal consonants (while often maintaining some of the other vowel shifts of the region) has been observed recently where it has been studied (in Lansing and Syracuse).
  • In American phonology, /æ/ before /r/ is often transcribed as /ɛ/ due to the prevalence of the Mary–marry merger. However, a distinct /æ/ before /r/ remains in much of the Northeastern U.S. (strongest in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Baltimore) and some of the Southern U.S.


TENSE": magic, imagine,

checked /b, d, dʒ/ or any old /b, d, ʃ, v, z/?
