Vowels LOT

In the southern area, rounded  is usual. In the older accents of the northern area unrounded [a] is the norm, but this is gradually being replaced by the rounded vowel in the speech of younger people.

 

The lexical set associated with this vowel was formerly rather smaller in that, as in most of southern England, the lengthened vowel  was found before the front voiceless fricatives, as in off, cloth, lost. This feature survives to a certain extent, but mostly in working-class speech, and particularly in the word off. The word dog is also typically . On the other hand, traditional dialect speakers also have LOT in un- and under rather than STRUT. Nothing also has LOT: /naθn/.
