Summary
| Description |
English: Vowel chart of Toronto English, showing the
w:Canadian Shift from /ɪ,ɛ,æ/ (kit, dress, trap) towards /ʊ,ʌ,ɑ/ (koot, druss, trop) as well as the
w:cot-caught merger towards a rounded low back vowel /ɒ/ (not a lot → nawt a lawt). /ʊ/ and /ʌ/ normally remain distinct from /ɪ/ and /ɛ/ as the latter are still more front. The positioning of /ɪ/ does not match the source because it is wrong: /ɪ/, as a lax close front vowel, is near-front in all accents of English that do not tense it to [i] - see
Category:Vowel charts of North American English dialects and
Category:Vowel charts of British English dialects. Therefore, a shifted /ɪ/ must be central in this accent, not near-front as shown on the original chart. The latter positioning suggests no shift at all. |
