<p>It is a truth universally acknowledged, that English is a very boring language.We have almost no accents above or below our letterforms. No written clues to give character to our speech. The most ambitious we get is the difference between a greasy spoon cafe (caff) and a more upmarket café (cafae).?Yet there are unmarked variations in the way that the length of vowels change with dialect. A Southerners bath (barth), is so very different from a Northerners bath (baf), as are our parths and pafs, aunts and ants, do you Parss the Pasta, or Pass the Parsta?</p>
