Learning the building blocks of words – sounds, their spellings, and word parts
Either a British person or Sarah Palin made this list. There’s two different vowels here: /ɑ/ and /æ/
/ɑ/: ha, la, ma, pa, ta, bra, ska, spa, saga, sonata, staccato, cantata, debacle, drama, father, lager, lava, plaza, pyjamas
/æ/: aft, bath, blast, brass, cast, chaff, clasp, class, craft, daft, draft, fast, gasp, glass, graft, grasp, grass, hasp, last, mast, pass, past, path, raft, rasp, shaft, staff, vast, ask, bask, cask, flask, mask, task, basket, cantata, casket, master, nasty, panorama, plaster, rather, strata
I’m neither British nor Sarah Palin (nor a fan of hers), I’m Australian. There are two different vowels in some accents e.g. most US English, but only one in Australian English. British Received Pronunciation has these as one sound, but in many northern UK accents, what you say does apply, there are two different vowels. Perhaps I should make it clearer that these lists are written in Australian English, and specifically using the IPA transcriptions in the Macquarie Dictionary.
Love your site love that you use the IPA. I refer to your lists many times a week. Thank you.
