Came out “tirty.” The th never stood a chance.

shib·bo·leth

n.

a word that tells people where you're from before you do. Tap one.

Southern England[bɑːθ]The long, back “ah” — the trap–bath split.
Northern England[baθ]Short and flat: the same vowel as “trap”.
Most of the US[bæθ]The front, flat “a” of “cat”.
RP, the BBC of old[ˈwɔːtə]A crisp t, and no r at the end.
Much of the US[ˈwɑɾɚ]The t flaps into a quick d; the r stays.
London, Estuary[ˈwɔːʔə]The t disappears into a glottal stop.
Dublin[ˈt̪ɜɹt̪i]The th lands as a dental t: “tirty”.
London, MLE[ˈfɜːʔi]Th-fronting makes it f; the t goes glottal.
General American[ˈθɝɾi]An r-coloured vowel and a flapped t.
California, Canada[kɑt]Identical to “cot”. The two words merged.
New York, Philly[kɔət]A tall, gliding “aw”, nothing like “cot”.
England[kɔːt]Long and rounded, nowhere near “cot” [kɒt].
Boston[kaː]No r, and the vowel slides forward.
Scotland[kaɾ]The r gets a proper tap.
Most of the US[kɑɹ]A full, bunched American r.

The paragraph you’ll read is packed with words like these — and the coach listens for dozens more.
