Vowels BOTHER AND FATHER

Bostonians and Northern New Hampshirites generally maintain a distinction between the vowels in the first syllables of bother [a] and father [a], while many residents of VT and southern NH, especially younger people, have merged those vowels (Nagy 2001). Miller’s respondents (Miller 1989: 124) report that father and bother do not rhyme in Calais, ME.
