Gone-gon split

The gone-gon split is a phonemic split that occurs for some speakers of Australian English. For these speakers, "gone" /gO:n/ has a longer vowel and does not rhyme with "don" /dOn/ or with "lawn" /lo:n/ or with "polygon". "God" /gO:d/ also has a longer vowel than "cod" /kOd/ for these speakers.
