A typical feature of Canadian English is that the first element of the diphthongs [ai] and [au] in the position before the deaf consonants in words such as, out, nice, height, house is replaced by [ʌ] or [ɛ]: [ʌut], [ɛut]; [prbruis], [prɛis]; [hʌit], [hɛit]; [hʌus], [hɛus]; In front of the sonans [l], [m] and [n], an additional vowel is often pronounced: mail [meiul], film ['filǝm], known [' nouǝn]. Sound [ɔ:] pronounced words such as pod and pawed, which, as a result, sound the same [pɔ: d].
