1 Tense-lax split: this is a bit hard to explain. 2  In New York City the short-a in words like cat, mad, canât and last follows a complex set of rules whereby some words are pronounced tensely (slightly higher in the mouth) while other words are pronounced laxly (lower in the mouth). Unlike most other American accents, the vowel in lot and rod is rounded as in most British dialects, pronounced IPA lÉt and É¹Éd (âlawtâ and ârawdâ). 2  Note that this feature is less prevalent in some sub-dialects, such as Rhode Island.
