Canadian raising is a vowel shift in many dialects of North American English that changes the pronunciation of diphthongs with open-vowel starting points. Most commonly, the shift affects or , or both, when they are pronounced before voiceless consonants (therefore, in words like and ''clout'', respectively, but not in and ''cloud''). In North American English, and usually begin in an open vowel, something like the vowel in ''alm'' , but through raising they shift to a sound similar to the vowel in ''um'': , , or sometimes even or . Canadian English often has raising in both the word set (including words like ''height, life, psych, type'', etc.) and word set (''clout, house, south, scout,'' etc.), but most dialects in the United States have raising only in the word set. Americans popularly mock the raised Canadian pronunciation of ''about'' , jokingly pronouncing it as ''a boot'', though American ''a boat'' is actually closer phonetically. Neither are completely accurate though. Similarly, the raising of in North American English changes the first vowel in ''writer'' and causes it to be pronounced differently from the first vowel in ''rider''. Since ''t'' and ''d'' in these words are pronounced the same through intervocalic alveolar flapping, these words are a minimal pair and are not complete homophones. ==Description==
