For a table listing all spellings of the sounds on this page, see <a href="/wiki/English_orthography#Sound-to-spelling_correspondences" title="English orthography">English orthography § Sound-to-spelling correspondences</a>. For help converting spelling to pronunciation, see <a href="/wiki/English_orthography#Spelling-to-sound_correspondences" title="English orthography">English orthography § Spelling-to-sound correspondences</a>. The words given as examples for two different symbols may sound the same to you. For example, you may pronounce <a href="/wiki/Cot%E2%80%93caught_merger" title="Cot–caught merger">cot and caught the same</a>, do and dew, or marry and merry. This often happens because of dialect variation (see our articles <a href="/wiki/English_phonology" title="English phonology">English phonology</a> and <a href="/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet_chart_for_English_dialects" class="mw-redirect" title="International Phonetic Alphabet chart for English dialects">International Phonetic Alphabet chart for English dialects</a>). If this is the case, you will pronounce those symbols the same for other words as well.<a href="#cite_note-localterms-1">[1]</a> Whether this is true for all words, or just when the sounds occur in the same context, depends on the merger.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> The footnotes explain some of these cases. <table style="background:none"> <tbody><tr> <td style="vertical-align:top"> <table

When followed by a weak vowel, the syllable may be lost altogether, with the consonant moving to the next syllable, so that doubling /ˈdʌb.əl.ɪŋ/ may alternatively be pronounced as [ˈdʌb.lɪŋ], and Edinburgh /ˈɛd.ɪn.bər.ə/ as [ˈɛd.ɪn.brə].<a href="#cite_note-44">[i]</a> When not followed by a vowel, /ər/ merges with /ə/ in non-rhotic accents. </li> <li id="cite_note-38"><a href="#cite_ref-38">^</a> ⟨ɪ⟩ represents a strong vowel in some contexts and a weak vowel in others.
