/smAl dAl/ = [smA5 dA5]
Florida.
I pronounce them as [smQU dAM] or [smQU dQU].
Oh, and as to where I am from, I am from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I believe mine is [smQl dQl]. I tend to round a lot of my vowel sounds. This is especially true for the "O" sounds.
I am from the Pacific Northwest.
My pronunciation is analogous to b), but I have l-vocalisation, so phonetically, it's [smQU dQU] or [smOU dOU]. I'm from Ottawa, Canada.
e) [smo:l dOl] (i.e. THOUGHT vowel, LOT vowel).
Sydney.
I pronounce it [smQ:5 dQ:5], and I'm from Central Massachusetts.
This one: d) [smQl] [dAl]
Philadelphia.
i pronounce it E.smol dal
I think SMALL should rhyme with DOLL just like HOT should share the same vowel with DOG....Oh no, low back merger again and again...
