Subject:  The AH vowel


Dear Isabelle and Vocalisters:

What sound differences do you hear when you pronounce the following
words and listen for the forms of AH vowels each uses. Ignore the
diphthongs. English is replete with diphthongs but it is still
possible to isolate the differences in the first of the diphthongs
sounds and sustain these rather than the second of the diphthong
sounds. Also, these words are pronounced differently in different
parts of the USA. I wonder what differences these regional dialects
will produce in this "test".
