General Canadian conditioned merger f /æ/ and /e/ before /r/ in midfront position so that Harry sounds like herry they have merged with /ey/ before /r/ meaning that they both sound like hairy

Marriages between Hudson Bay Company workers of mainly Scottish decent and native Cree women spoke Bungi a dialect of Canadian English which blended the two languages and can be found west in the Canadian Prairies. It is marked by no masculine, feminine or third person pronouns

Canadian English raises the diphthong onsets, /ə, ʌ/ come before voiceless segments; diphthongs /ai/ and /au/.

During the American Revolution (1775 – 1783) men loyal to Britain and men seeking land migrated to Canada exposing American speech patterns to native Canadian English speakers.

Canadian Shift encompasses an area from Montreal to Vancouver and can be distinguished by the merger of /e/ and /æ/ before /r/, the fronted /ahr/, and a nasal aspirated /æ/. Canadian English has undergone grammaticalization including with general extenders (GEs) which serve to attach words to form connections between subjects example: I washed my car and stuff down the street at Ted's Car Wash.

I would like to explore the argument for and against Canadian English as a separate sub-field.
