Currently, there is a tendency among young speakers, almost exclusively adolescents and young adults in the major urban areas, towards the development of a spelling-based phonemic distinction, with {{IPA|/o/ [o]}} corresponding to written '''o''' and {{IPA|/ɔ/ [ɔ]}} corresponding to written '''å'''. In its most radical form, this overrides even the raising of {{IPA|/ɔ/}} (when written '''å''') and the {{IPA|[oː]}} pronunciation in words like ''emibå'' mentioned above; otherwise this tendency still keeps them merged in those contexts. However, this usage is considered non-standard and not appropriate in formal circumstances. | Currently, there is a tendency among young speakers, almost exclusively adolescents and young adults in the major urban areas, towards the development of a spelling-based phonemic distinction, with {{IPA|/o/ [o]}} corresponding to written '''o''' and {{IPA|/ɔ/ [ɔ]}} corresponding to written '''å'''.

Parallel to what happens with {{IPA|/u uː/}}, in parts of the South and the southern Jade Coastal basins, it is common for oral back rounded vowels to be compressed and not protruded, so that in these pronunciations {{IPA|/ɔ/}} in such pronunciations is better transcribed as {{IPA|[ɤᵝ]}}. | |||
