I have to object to the previous set of changes. I mean, t > tʃ, ɹ > t, ŋ > x, really? Did you put stickies with phones on them on the wall, and then choose which ones you were going to change to what by throwing darts at them?

The first two rules, (t > tʃ, r > t) were part of a chain shift that happened in Mamean, a mayan language, and ŋ > x is a sound change that happened in various, again, mayan languages.

Okay that was overdone, therefore something new.

but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,

1. The pronunciation is adjusted to be closer to the New York City dialect appropriate for the setting of the play quoted:
   1. Monophthongal, non-rhotic /ɔ/ diphthongizes to /ɔə/.
   2. Rhoticity is lost EXCEPT on /ɝ/, thus /ɑ˞ ɚ ɔ˞/ /ɒə ə ɔə/.
   3. The merged /ɔə/ raises and merges further with /ʊə/.
   4. /æ/ tenses to /eə/. (I know it's not unconditional in New York, but the condition it has on it applies on the only /æ/ sound in the sample.)
   5. /aɪ aʊ/ /ɑɪ æʊ/
   6. /ð/ /d/
2. /æʊ ɑɪ ɔɪ/ /ɛʊ ɔɪ oɪ/
3. Final /p t k/ cease to have an audible release.
4. /iː/ /iɪ/
