Editing Acadian French (section)

===Vowels===
* Acadian French has maintained phonemic distinctions between {{IPA|/a/}} and {{IPA|/ɑ/}}, {{IPA|/ɛ/}} and {{IPA|/ɛː/}}, {{IPA|/ø/}} and {{IPA|/ə/}}, {{IPA|/ɛ̃/}} and {{IPA|/œ̃/}}.
* In informal speech, the {{IPA|/ɑ/}} vowel is realized as {{IPA|[ɔ]}}: {{Lang|fr|pas}} ('step') {{IPA|/pɑ/}} → {{IPA|[pɔ]}} and {{Lang|fr|bras}} (arm) {{IPA|/bʁɑ/}} → {{IPA|[bʁɔ]}}, etc. 
* The short {{IPA|/ɛ/}} is realized as {{IPA|[ɛ]}} and it is the same as Parisian French.
* {{IPA|/ɛː/}} is open to {{IPA|[æː]}} or closed to {{IPA|[eː]}}, it depends on the region: {{Lang|fr|fête}} ('party') {{IPA|/fɛːt/}} → {{IPA|[fæːt]}} or {{IPA|[feːt]}} and {{Lang|fr|caisse}} ('case') {{IPA|/kɛːs/}} → {{IPA|[kæːs]}} or {{IPA|[keːs]}}, etc. {{Citation needed|date=October 2019}}
* The ⟨oi⟩ spelling has different pronunciations. Old speakers pronounce {{Lang|fr|roi}} ('king') {{IPA|[wɛ]}}, because the traditional Parisian pronunciation was like {{IPA|[rwɛ]}}. But in modern standard Acadian French, it is pronounced {{IPA|[wa]}}. Even where there is no [[circumflex]], there are some words which are phonemically pronounced {{IPA|/wɑ/}} and the phoneme is pronounced as {{IPA|[wɑ]}} in formal speech but {{IPA|[wɔ]}} in informal speech: {{Lang|fr|trois}} ('three') {{IPA|[tʁ̥wɑ]}} or {{IPA|[tʁ̥wɔ]}} and {{Lang|fr|noix}} ('nut') {{IPA|[nwɑ]}} or {{IPA|[nwɔ]}}. The ⟨oî⟩ spelling is phonemically {{IPA|/wɑ/}}, but old speakers pronounce it {{IPA|[weː]}}, while modern speakers pronounce it {{IPA|[wɑː]}} as in Quebec French: {{Lang|fr|boîte}} ('box') {{IPA|[bweːt]}} or {{IPA|[bwɑːt]}} and {{Lang|fr|croître}} ('grow') {{IPA|[kɾweːt(ɾ)]}} or {{IPA|[kʁ̥wɑːt(ʁ̥)]}}, etc.
