Vermont English

Vermont English is a dialect of English Language spoken in the U.S. state of Vermont. Although a New England state, the variety of English spoken in most parts of the state generally has more in common with the accent spoken in nearby New York State and parts of the Midwest. Features include:

*The IPA| [æ/] in words like 'bad' and 'cat' is tensed in most environments to IPA| [eə] , though rarely to the same extreme as the Inland North dialect.cite web|last=Walsh|first=Molly|title=Vermont Accent: Endangered Species?|url=http://www.virtualvermont.com/happiness/talkin.html|work=Burlington Free Press|accessdate=2007-11-20]
*As with Connecticut, Western Massachusetts and some Great Lakes English, glottal replacement of 't' is common. [cite news|last=MacQuarrie|first=Brian|title=Taking bah-k Vermont|publisher=The Boston Globe|year=2004|month=February|day=12]
*As with Maine and New Hampshire, 'caught' and 'cot' are usually merged, in this case to IPA| [ɑ] .Walsh, Virtual Vermont.]
*Words ending in the letter 'a' are pronounced as if the word ended in 'er', for instance the word "area" would be pronounced 'air-ee-er'.Walsh, Virtual Vermont.]
