	Canadian English
		Canadian English, for all its speakers, is an under-described variety of English.
		In fact, Lilles (2000) goes so far as to claim that there is no such thing as a distinct Canadian English, and argues that the notion of Canadian English is a myth, fabricated to reinforce a fragile Canadian identity.
		As evidence, he cites the lack of phonological and orthographic standardization for Canadian English, the paucity of distinct Canadian vocabulary, and the appearance of regionalisms associated with various parts of the United States.

	ASA 149th Meeting Lay Language Papers - Visualizing the Canadian English Vowels
		Canadians are well known to have different vowel sounds in 'lout' and 'loud', where in other dialects these sounds are usually the same.
		Canadian Raising is thought to affect vowels that move from low-to-high in the vowel space.
		Thus I describe 'Canadian Raising' not as something specific to /ai/ and /au/, but general to this class of 'moving vowels', and not as 'raising' in the space but 'advancement along the path of the movement'.

		English Canadians have developed the vocabulary they have needed in their special environment by borrowing from indigenous languages and from French, by extending and adapting traditional English words, and by coining new words, in addition to which, CanE vocabulary has been affected by institutional bilingualism:1.
		In addition, the delicate relationship between English and French allows for originality: for example, the visual form of the name of the airline called Canadian in English and Canadien in French, in which the variable vowel is replaced by the company logo, a red arrow.3.

	OUP Canada: Why do I need a Canadian dictionary?
		Canadians need a dictionary that defines the words used by Canadians and also records how Canadians (not the Americans or the British) pronounce and spell words.
		A Canadian dictionary gives you more than other dictionaries, combining in one reference book information on English as it is used worldwide and as it is used particularly in Canada.
		Definitions should be presented in an order that reflects their importance to Canadians; when Canadians see the abbreviation AB, the first thing they think of is "Alberta", not "able seaman".

		Generally, the Canadian English language film is in a bind, often left looking like an awkward teenager compared to its overexposed and deep-pocketed neighbour to the south or its quirky but popular French-speaking cousin.
		English language features endure a seemingly insurmountable range of problems: a market oversaturated with Hollywood fare, distribution issues and a negative preconceived idea of what is a Canadian film.
