Scotland, general


More moderate accents of Scottish English tend to retain the high mid vowel [ʉ] in the GOOSE lexical set and to be rhotic, i.e. /r/ in syllable-final position is pronounced, e.g. card [kaɻd]. Vowel length and quality tends to be much closer to more mainstream varieties of English.
