Line 8:
: I'm not sure about the reference to TLN before /ʃ/ and /g/, though, or before /r/ in non-American rhotic accents: I believe Scottish English typically has the same set of contrasts before /r/ as it does everywhere else.--[[User:JHJ|JHJ]] 16:32, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
:: Some Americans have reported pronouncing 'bang' as /beiŋ/, -ing as -eeng, and rhyme 'bag' and 'vague'; I assumed he was talking about that. As for the fact that in most dialects you don't get /ŋ/ after lax vowels, that's because of the baggage the language comes with. It's not tense-lax neutralisation though. — [[User:Cassowary|Felix the Cassowary]] 00:03, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
