My specific vowels & Dialect

Here is where I'm going to informally document my ways of speaking, internet and irl. I'd like to start out with my irl way of speaking since I've recently been really into looking into all my phonology and phonetics and Praat and allat. It's really interesting! I'm normally more into cross-linguistic things and looking into other languages but i've recently gotten more into my own and the other people around me's phonetics.

My Vowels

Here is a synopsis of my life strained to only the parts that could've influenced how I speak

1. Who I'm
   • I am autistic
   • I am black
2. Where I'm
   • Born in Southern Appalachia, lived there for 5 years
   • Lived in Delco (Southwest Philadelphia neighborhood) for 5 years
   • Now live outside of Philadelphia
3. When I'm
   • I'm 17 and go to school with other 17 year olds (crazy)
4. Other
   • I do theatre and choir

To my own ears, I have a pretty General American-esque dialect (I think Philadelphian english is kinda a middle ground between Northeastern and Southern Dialects in itself), and I have all the attributes typical to the majority of Americans (Cot-Caught Merger, Merry-Mary-Marry Merger, Rhotic, at least some æ-raising, etc). I don't really use very Philly-specific slang like "jawn" or "youse", which I think is pretty given since I haven't really lived in Philadelphia (mostly outskirts (Delco is considered it's own thing))
