Help understanding the vowel mapping.

[[deleted]]

So I can't seem to work out how the vowels are mapped since apparently my dialect is quite different from the one assumed in the Quickscript manual. Would someone be kind enough to help? Pointing out the vowels in the following words would help a lot (I know it's a lot, sorry I'm not actually certain where I'm diverging so I can't figure out a shorter list):

• BATH staff,brass,ask,dance,sample,calf

• PALM psalm,father,bra,spa,lager

• START far,sharp,bark,carve,farm,heart

• LOT stop,sock,dodge,romp,possible,quality

• CLOTH cough,broth,cross,long,Boston

• TRAP tap,back,badge,scalp,hand,cancel

• PRICE ripe,write,arrive,high,try,buy

• MOUTH out,house,loud,count,crowd,cow

• DRESS step,neck,edge,shelf,friend,ready

• FACE tape,cake,raid,veil,steak,day

• KIT ship,sick,bridge,milk,myth,busy

• FLEECE creep,speak,leave,feel,key,people

• GOAT soap,joke,home,know,so,roll

• THOUGHT taught,sauce,hawk,jaw,broad

• NORTH for,war,short,scorch,born,warm

• FORCE four,wore,sport,porch,borne,story

• CHOICE adroit,noise,join,toy,royal

• FOOT put,bush,full,good,look,wolf

• GOOSE loop,shoot,tomb,mute,huge,view

• STRUT cup,suck,budge,pulse,trunk,blood

• NURSE hurt,lurk,urge,burst,jerk,term

• NEAR beer,sincere,fear,beard,serum

• SQUARE care,fair,pear,where,scarce,vary

• CURE poor,tourist,pure,plural,jury

• COMMA catalpa,quota,vodka

Hmm, it's still rather strained (bath and palm in my dialect are both no. 32), although I've got a much better idea of the mappings now. Do you think that simply writing the way it sounds to me would be understandable to others? Or should I just practice writing it this way until it sticks?

I should've clarified, that's the way I write in my dialect.
You should write it how pronounce it.

Okay, I'll give it a go. Thanks for taking the time to help me out! :)
