| Jan 15, 2020 at 7:44 | comment | added | Rafalon | I once spoke with an alsacien and we were arguing over the pronounciation of vingt, as I pronounce it vin and him vinT, so I asked him to say 80 and he pronounced it quatre-vin (without the final T). Funny, right? | |

The way the vowel is pronounced in the French quat' or the English cat and cut substantially vary depending on the locutor. The usual phonological representation of quat' is /kat/ while "cat" is either /kat/ or /kæt/ and "cut" is /kʌt/. Your mileage may vary. | |
