Where exactly is this pronounced /fleɪɡ/? — [&#32;R·I·C&#32;] Laurent — 13:45, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Mostly in places with universal æ-tensing, like the Inland North, but there's a few pretty much everywhere, and also in Canada.

Here's a Harvard Dialect survey:

Here's the state-by-state breakdown

People who say bag /beɪg/ like erik here would also say /fleɪg/.

Adding an /ɪ/ before a /g/ is common even in those who do use /æ/ though (this also works with /ŋ/, with bank being realized as /bæɪŋk/ or /beɪŋk/.

Hi. With your edit to going, you made the IPA and SAMPA conflict. You changed the O to Q in the SAMPA but didn't make the same change in the IPA (O = ɔ and Q = ɒ, see ). I reverted your edit because I didn't know what to change. &mdash;Internoob (Disc•Cont) 16:45, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, you're right, always thought Q was ɔ. Thanks.--TheAmericanizator 16:49, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
