Reverted 1 edit by Cybors (talk): We're not being that narrow; ALL /l/ is subject to darkening, and all coda /l/ is subject to vocalization, whose realization varies
The "FOOT–STRUT split" section in Phonological history of English close back vowels article does not mention "broad eastern Ireland accents" or elaborate enough on "bordering parts of Wales", so reworded & simplified footnote for consistency.
Line 198:

Also note that although {{angbr IPA|ʌ}}, the IPA symbol for the [[open-mid back unrounded vowel|open-mid back vowel]], is used, the typical modern pronunciation is rather close to the [[near-open central unrounded vowel|near-open central vowel]] {{IPA|[ɐ]}} in some dialects, including Received Pronunciation.}}
