Stressed vowels

ONE

Wells (1982: 362) notes that one and other words (for example, none, nothing), which have  in RP and an <o> in their spelling, have  as their stressed vowel across a wide band of the mid-north of England. Similarly, in Wales ONE words sometimes fall in with the LOT group, though more frequently they belong with STRUT. ONE with  is associated with the traditional Welsh-speaking areas of north and west Wales, where it may result from Welsh-influenced spelling pronunciation, and also with the north and mid border with England and the long-anglicized areas of south Pembrokeshire and the Gower Peninsula, to where it may have travelled from the accents of the north-west, west and south-west of England.

As with STRUT,  can occur in ONE words. The details in Parry (1999: 18) indicate that  occurs less frequently in ONE than in STRUT, but as with STRUT there is an association with the north-east and south-west corners of Wales.
