Oh come on, the biggest accent from Chicago has nothing to do with vowels. It is that the word “The” is pronounced “Da”. As in Da Bears, and Da Bulls.

I was born (1953) and raised in the city of Chicago, in the city itself. I’ve got what you might call a northern urban accent. I live in St. Louis now, but my accent is not like here.

We have that whiny sound in Chicago as well as the ‘dis’ and ‘dat’
