This study is a description of the monophthongs of East Anglia speech, an area in the south east of England. Formant measurements were computed on 11 vowels in /hVd/ contexts. The results are compared with those of previously published works on standard British English. Our findings highlight the similarities and differences between the two systems. Particular attention is paid to age-related issues and speaker normalization.
