Poccasin English is notable among most standard dialects of English for largely resisting the [[w:English-language vowel changes before historic /r/#Horse–hoarse merger|{{sc|horse}}-{{sc|hoarse}} merger]], (also called the {{sc|north}}-{{sc|force}} merger) instead pronouncing the {{sc|horse}} class as /ɔɹ/ (occasionally in some working class accents as /oə̯/ or /oi̯/) and the {{sc|hoarse}} set as /uɹ/, which is contrasted with the /ʊər/ diaphoneme that is always pronounced non-rhotically as /uə̯/ or /ua̯/. The only exception to this rule is the conjunction {{l|en|or}}, which is largely always pronounced /ɔ~o/. | Poccasin English is notable among most standard dialects of English for largely resisting the [[w:English-language vowel changes before historic /r/#Horse–hoarse merger|{{sc|horse}}-{{sc|hoarse}} merger]], (also called the {{sc|north}}-{{sc|force}} merger) instead pronouncing the {{sc|horse}} class as /ɔɹ/ (occasionally in some working class accents as /oə̯/ or /oi̯/) and the {{sc|hoarse}} set as /uɹ/, which is contrasted with the /ʊər/ diaphoneme that is always pronounced non-rhotically as /uə̯/ or /ua̯/.
