IPA for English
For why we use ⟨ɒ⟩ for the so-called LOT vowel over ⟨ɑ⟩, see Help:IPA/English (which all IPA notations of English in article leads link to for readers' guidance), particularly the section "Dialect variation". For a more concise explanation of the rationale, see WP:DIAPHONEMIC. Thanks. Nardog (talk) 20:26, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
