Monophthongs and diphthongs FOOT and GOOSE (LOOSE)

There is no phonemic distinction between these two vowels. They are articulated as advanced forms of [u], though the FOOT vowel tends to be somewhat lower than that of GOOSE, which can also have a lengthened form. The lack of phonemic distinction between these vowels often leads to neutralizations like full and fool > [ful], pull and pool > [pul], or look and Luke > [luk] for most Indo-Fijian speakers of Pure Fiji Hindi.
