Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: One linguistic phenomenon named for this country can counteract the loss of distinction introduced by flapping, thus making "writer" and "rider" distinct words again, and is known as this country's namesake "raising." This country is the namesake of a linguistic phenomenon in which the cot-caught merger triggers the vowels in "black," "pen," and "tin," to move backwards; that "shift" named for this country is essentially the opposite of the Northern Cities Vowel Shift. Unique words in this country's English include terms for what Americans call "jelly donut," "moonshine," and "hoodie," which are "jam buster," "porch climber," and "bunny hug." For 10 points, name this country, the homeland of linguists such as Stephen Pinker, which also uses terms such as "ridings" and "First Nations" and has a form of English which shares official language status with French.
