== Maine == 

 The Maine sectioon has some problems: 

 Should use IPA instead of ad-hoc pronunciation spellings. 

 "All "a" and "e" sounds broaden; i.e., calf becomes "cahf," bath becomes "bahth," etc. 
 The "a" sounds that "broaden" are specific, "cat" and "hat" don't, calf and bath do. The so-called "trap-bath" split. Needs a link the the Broad A article. As for the "e" sound, either a citation or deletion is needed. 

 The intrusive "r" is also a lot less general than the article pretends. It's usually an intervocalic intrusive R, but much rarer as a postvocalic (at the end of a word not followed by a vowel). California is not pronounced with a postvocalic intrusive R unless it's also an intervocalic; that is, if the word California is followed by a vowel sound, as in this sentence.
