What type of accent do you have?

Law and la sound different to me, too. Awe and ah both rhyme with law, though. The a in Law, awe, and ah sounds like the o in long. Whereas ‘la’ rhymes with ‘the’ (NOT said like thee) or like the article “a” - as in “gimme a piece”.

I’ve always been fascinated with Henry Higgens in My Fair Lady - how he can tell not only where a person lives, but where a person has lived, by their accents.
