By contrast, New York accents and southern New England accents have for "caught" and for "cot" and the London accents have and , respectively. In Boston and some other parts of New England, a few words ending in , e.g., "hot" and "got", can be pronounced with an entirely different phoneme, however, sounding instead like "hut" and "gut", respectively.
Trap-bath split
Most accents of American English and Canadian English are unaffected by the split. The main exceptions are parts of New England ("see Boston accent"), where the broad sound can be used in some of the same words as in southern England, such as "aunt, ask, bath" etc. ("aunt" though is unique, as the broad-a pronunciation is found sporadically throughout the US, not only in New England)
