 */ʃ/ becomes [ɕ] in broad Cnollta.
-*Many monophthongs lengthen or diphthongize allophonically:
-**The Cnollta accent has a "trap-bath split" reminiscent of RP, but its distribution is more like the phonemic tense-a system in Philadelphian English. Stressed /a/ is pronounced [ɑː] before /m n r f v s z θ ð/ in closed syllables or in final open syllables, and [æ] otherwise. Monosyllabic function words do not use tense [ɑː]. For example:
-***''saþ'' /saθ/ 'salty' is pronounced [sɑːθ̠] or [sɑːʂ]; however, ''baþa'' 'gun' is pronounced [pæʂə].
-***''syvŋá'' 'art' is pronounced [səvŋɑː]
-***On the other hand, ''glah'' 'will, intention' is pronounced [kʀæh].
 *A chain shift of vowels known as the Cnollta vowel shift:
 *#The triggering shift is a merger of /ɔu/ and /œy/ into [əʏ~ʌʏ], similar to Estuary English GOAT, or [ɔʏ] like German ''eu''. The most extreme realization is [ɑɪ]. The merged vowel is less front [ʌʉ] before /θ ð/.
