==Dialect variation==
{{main|International Phonetic Alphabet chart for English dialects}}
This key represents [[diaphoneme]]s, abstractions of speech sounds that accommodate <!--"standard ... English ... pronunciations" is not OK, so "English" alone is not OK-->[[General American]] (GenAm), [[Received Pronunciation]] (RP), [[Canadian English]], [[South African English|South African]], [[Australian English phonology|Australian]], and [[New Zealand English|New Zealand]] pronunciations. Therefore, not all of the distinctions shown here are relevant to a particular dialect:
* If, for example, you pronounce ''cot'' {{IPA|/ˈkɒt/}} and ''caught'' {{IPA|/ˈkɔːt/}} the same, then you may simply ignore the difference between the symbols {{IPA|/ɒ/}} and {{IPA|/ɔː/}}, just as you ignore the distinction between the written vowels ''o'' and ''au'' when pronouncing them.
* In many dialects, {{IPA|/r/}} occurs only before a vowel; if you speak such a dialect, simply ignore {{IPA|/r/}} in the pronunciation guides where you would not pronounce it, as in ''cart'' {{IPA|/ˈkɑrt/}}.
* In other dialects, {{IPA|/j/}} ('''y'''es) cannot occur after {{IPA|/t, d, n/}}, etc., within the same syllable; if you speak such a dialect, then ignore the {{IPA|/j/}} in transcriptions such as ''new'' {{IPA|/njuː/}}. For example, ''New York'' is transcribed {{IPA|/njuː ˈjɔrk/}}. For most people from England and for some New Yorkers, the {{IPA|/r/}} in {{IPA|/ˈjɔrk/}} is not pronounced; for most people from the United States, including some New Yorkers, the {{IPA|/j/}} in {{IPA|/njuː/}} is not pronounced and may be ignored.

On the other hand, there are some distinctions which you might make but which this key does not encode, as they are seldom reflected in the dictionaries used as sources for Wikipedia articles:
* The difference between the vowels of ''fir'', ''fur'' and ''fern'', maintained in [[Scottish English|Scottish]] and [[Hiberno-English|Irish English]] but lost elsewhere.
* The difference between the vowels of ''pain'' and ''pane'' found in some English, Welsh, and Newfoundland dialects.
* The vowels of ''bad'' and ''had'', distinguished in many parts of [[Australian English|Australia]] and the Eastern United States.
* The vowels of ''spider'' and ''spied her'', distinguished in Scotland and some parts of North America.

Other words may have different vowels depending on the speaker.

The pronunciation of the {{IPA|/æ/}} vowel in Scotland, Wales and northern England has always been closer to {{IPAblink|a}}, even amongst educated speakers. BBC English is moving away from the older RP {{IPAblink|æ}} towards the more open vowel {{IPAblink|a}}, and the Oxford English Dictionary transcribes the ''lad'', ''bad'', ''cat'', ''trap'' vowel as {{IPA|/a/}} in its updated entries.
