Scottish English is a rhotic accent where /r/ is pronounced in syllable codas. /r/ can be an alveolar approximant [ɹ] or tap [ɾ], and less commonly a trill [r]. There is also a distinction between /w/ and /hw/ in words like "witch" and "which". The document then provides a table of pure vowel sounds in Scottish English with examples and a table of r-colored vowels. It notes some common Scottish expressions and terms.

Scottish
Scottish English developed after the Union of the Crowns in 1603 and the Union of Parliaments in 1701, which made English the official written language, though Scottish English retains some distinguishing features in pronunciation and vocabulary. It has a rhotic accent with post-vocalic /r/ and fewer vowels than Received Pronunciation English, and words are pronounced with monophthongs. Scottish dialects also vary regionally, with Scots spoken in the Lowlands and Gaelic spoken in the Highlands.
Canada
Canadian English is a hybrid of British and American Englishes that has also been influenced by French. It developed from four major waves of immigration and combines spelling conventions from both British and American English. Regionally, Western and Central Canadian dialects exhibit rhoticity like in American English, while words of French origin retain their original French pronunciation.

The exercises are presented along with answers and explanations.
Vowels
Vowels are distinguished from consonants phonologically by their ability to form syllable nuclei. Vowels differ phonetically in terms of tongue position (height and frontness/backness), length, and rounding. English has short and long vowels that vary in height from high to low and in frontness from front to back, with some central vowels. Vowels are also distinguished as rounded or unrounded based on lip position during articulation. Analyzing vowels this way allows for an accurate description of their phonetic production.
English vowel , monothongs, diphthong, triphthongs
This document discusses English vowel sounds, including monophthongs, diphthongs, and triphthongs. It begins by explaining that vowels are one of two categories of speech sounds and involve air passing through the vocal tract without obstruction. It then lists and describes the 12 monophthong vowel sounds in English based on their place and manner of articulation. Next it defines diphthongs as involving a glide between two vowel sounds, and lists the 8 diphthong phonemes in English. Finally, it defines triphthongs as involving a glide between three vowel sounds, and provides examples of triphthongs formed from diphthongs with the addition of a schwa. Diagrams
